Wide angle vs. fish-eye lense

is there a big difference? From pics, wide angle seems to keep lines straight as opposed to the curved outer lines of a fisheye lense. Am I right, or wrong? Is there a big difference?
 
i don't need that. I know they are different, but they are both wide angle lenses. What's the big difference?
 
a fisheye is just a really wide angle lens that like curves the whole way distorting the image, while a wide angle doesn't much until it reaches the edges, I think, either way that other guy is an asshole.
 
fish eye make things that are in the foreground look closer then they really are and thing in the background look further away...
 
Plus a lot of fisheye lenses project a circular image, which means that the video filmed with them will be vignetted. Some fisheye lenses are full frame though.
 
as far as still photography goes, a typical wide angle is like 28mm (not much distortion - it can cover anywhere from like 100-120 degrees), and a fisheye is about 15mm, so it's a 180 degree viewing angle.
 
fisheye makes things look bigger, which is why I think half the stuff in skateboarding isn't nearly as big as it looks in videos cause I know when Im filming a stairset with fisheye it looks 20X bigger.
 
well I think there is actually a difference in the way the optices work, Im just not sure what that is.
