Robert -

I totally agree on the angle: wider is better! The human brain gets
its sense sense of speed from things rushing past in your peripheral
vision. That means having a wide field of view when you record
things. Many cameras cut off too much of the peripheral view.

The Drift Innovation guys just released a new camera that can do 170
degrees at full 1080p. Looks like I may need to sell my Stealth HD
and buy a new toy for spring! ;-)
