I don't know for certain if wide angle or regular is better and nearly ever video on their site is wide angle. Wide angle is definitely used a great deal when shooting a lot of action and motor sports. Personally I prefer the wide angle for this sort of thing at 170 degrees as opposed to the normal which is only 54 degree angle of view. I think the normal would be almost be too restrictive for a fixed point camera for this sort of thing, not to mention the proximity of some of the action around the rider requiring a wider field of view. I've been looking to see if I can find any decent normal angle footage for this camera, but everything so far looks like it was shot with the wide. I did notice on their site that they are releasing a software update that will support a 4GB SDHC card which is pretty cool.
