Hi, I'm Mike Swain the developer of SportsCam. To answer your question, the quality of the picture is great. I'm using the prototype every weekend for commercial tandem videos. By the way, it is not a "lipstick" camera but miniature video camera that acts as a remote lens. You can compare still frames from video tape or look at a SportsCam video clip on my website, http://www.endlessfall.net. You can e-mail questions directly to me at mswain@myexcel.com
Thanks for your interest.
