Yes, it looks like you've got to have access to the camera lens itself as you dive or surface, to ensure the image is sharp above and below water. It's one reason to quite like the flat-glass housing approach, because a lot of films are helped by having the transfer between mediums on screen.

I added the videos to both Vimeo and YouTube. It appears to me on my iMac that YouTube
presents a more crisp video.

Looks to me like the Hero 2 is sharper. I'm looking at the grass in the field. With the Infinity it starts to get mushy and indistinct before getting to the man. With the Hero it looks somewhat sharper around the man and even beyond.
But it's subtle, especially looking at it on youtube and then on this old Dell laptop of mine!

Someone asked about the availability of these. You cna buy them on Amazon right now:

I am seriously interested but waiting for the GoPro HD2 firmware update until I decide. Plus, I really need that WiFi remote screen so whoever gets theirs working first gets my money.
