That Cisco Flip is indeed interesting. It would be good to know if the image stabilization works well. A riding buddy brought a GoPro HD from the states & I've got to say that I am quite impressed by it. It takes great pics / video, and has a nice wide angle perspective. Interestingly, the GoPro HD is about the same price in Beijing as it is in the USA Best Buy chain. Don't often see that.
I've also read a few ride reports over on the "other" adv website, and a couple of folks have a really interesting little toy. The Polaroid PoGo Zink instant printer (one review). They use it a lot of different ways, but mostly to give an instant "paper pic" to kids, people, policemen, border guards who want to sit on the bike, etc. It is a great ice-breaker, and commonly melts even the snarliest "official" when they get an instant pic to take home and show the missus how cool they are. The PoGo Zink is available via taobao.
Euph, you have a G11 and I've seen your method of a neck lanyard (which I've tried to replicate). Given I am all thumbs (in heavy gloves), I've been wondering if you've tried a RAM mount with your G11? I know the G11 has image stabilization, but I'm wondering if it is enough for the serious vibrations of a bike? Also, I wonder if the vibrations might do some damage over time? Using the neck lanyard has a built in shock absorber (our bodies) and maybe a hard mount might be a bad idea? I've had a clear UV filter mounted over the lens for at least some protection from bugs & grit, but Murphy's Law says the gravel stones will be perfectly targeted for the lens.
