I know what you mean, a gopro is a lot more versatile. Waiting for items are good sometimes, you can study up on other available options as well. You have a lot of variety to choose from if you're going for webcams. I'd say your go-pro will help you get out more like you said, and it could be worth the wait.
Plus with a gopro, Im not restricted to just where my computer is stationed at. I can move it around my room, prop it on a chair or something. It's a much better option. Plus I want to buy a little table or something and get something nice to lay my cards on.
