Hey Dan I was wondering if the glass lens had any additional benefit in filming? Also, if you are shooting your video in 720p with the flat lens, will the edge of the lens show?
Thanks, Nick

The flat lens fixes the focus problem, I'm not aware of other benefits. The resolution settings are R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5. This video demonstrates the vignette effect in all the settings. R5 is the most suitable high definition setting for filming underwater and has no vignette effect.

BTW there's now a glass flat lens available from Pursuit http://freedivingspearfishingg…ens-for-gopro-camera.html

Thanks for the speedy answer. And I know what the flat lens does to help the focus but I was wondering if the flat glass lens has any additional benefits over the flat polycarbonate lens.

Ah over the polycarbonate lens.. The glass lens is less likely to scratch, you don't have to be so careful if it needs cleaning.

Oh ok ya that's what I figured. But thank you for clearing that all up for me. What a great businessman you are.
