The ruggedized barrel shaped camera shoots full HD (1920x1080) video at 30 fps with a 120-degree lens and is waterproof to about 10 meters, which includes audio recording under water. Monoprice says it's freeze, shock and dust proof, too. it relies on a two-axis gyro sensor to keep videos level. It even captures 5-megapixel images in one of three modes: single, burst and time lapse. Your other option is to shoot 720p at 30 fps.

Sample footage from Vimeo (720p)



Looks pretty decent for the price.

hopefully this drives down the price on GoPro

My guess is that unless it's total crap, they lack sufficient manufacturing capacity, they have a terrible distribution network, or are horrible marketers......... I dont see how it couldn't punish GoPro's pricing.
