Here is my Cozumel Video filmed with JVC Picsio, Ikelite housing, red filter and 1 ProV8 LED:

I Am happy with the quality of video for the money i spent. The problem with the camera is that you have to hold it very very still. Otherwise you will get really shaky video. This can be challenging in a strong current.. Also it needs Lots of light to get good shots. I did a swim through and caves that did not look good on video even with the Pro V8 LED. One other thing the battery is not replaceable, for me it was not a issue because I am getting around 50 minutes of 720p video before the battery dies. This is more than enough to do 2 boat dives. All Lithium Ion batteries will eventually loose there charge, so I will just buy another picsio when it does. At $90 its not that bad. Most of my money went to the light, housing, and SDHC cards anyways.
In summery:I am sure a 3 thousand dollar camera would take better film but for $600 or so i got everything I needed to start shooting HD underwater and i am happy with the Camera.
