Eh, most skaters feel the VX1000 is the "classic camera" and therefore must never be upgraded/changed. Thats why most gimmick boards like P2 and others are only used by little kids; the skateboarding community's culture is hard to change and only the more recent skateboarders are buying better cameras and buying into gimmicks.
I have to admit, when I first started skated I used to hate the VX. I was all about HD. But as I started skating I liked the VX better.
