Anyone know if these will be able to upload to a mac?
If so will take a couple off your hands Mr Pimp

On my macbook with OS X, plugging in the camera will just make it appear as a usb memory stick would, enabling you to copy the .avis.
These play out of the box in QuickTime.
Would say the firmare on these cameras is very flakey. Quite often an attempted copy from the camera will hang.
Save yourself a lot of pain. Buy a usb micro sd card reader for £2 and use that instead of the camera to get the files off. Simples.

I've just ordered one of these cameras. A friend says I would need a class 6 memory card to use for video, I was wondering what class cards people on here have been using

Not on one of those cameras. The bitrate on the camera itself is nowhere near high enough to justify any premium for a Class 6 card. Class 4 would be more than enough.

I must get a couple of these.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this previously but Velcro buttons are great for removable attachment.

I use sticky-back velcro to fix the cameras to my MTB Snowboard helmets. I wouldn't use the stuff on car paintwork though. Tank tape / Gaffa tape suffices (Although some circuits / TDO's may have a problem with any non-permanent mounting including velcro
