Ironically, I think that Gundam Wing is childish and unrealistic while I absolutely love Mobile Suit Gundam and the many UC OVA's. I don't particularly like the idea of five near-indestructable mobile suits rampaging around unchallenged, killing people. I like Mobile Suit Gundam because it is just the opposite of Wing - There is only one Gundam, and it's a constant struggle just to keep it operational as it goes through battle after battle.

Is Gundam Wing the one with Duo? I've never seen the show, but I've read fan fictions and seen pictures. And I think Duo is cute.

Gundam wing was the Best Series in the "After Colony" Universe.
There are 3 Different seriess That I call Universes:
Universal Century: Mobile Suit Gundam, Char's Counter-Attack, etc.
After Colony: Gundam Wing, Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, Etc.
After War: Gundam X, a few others that I have heard about, but have yet to see.
Each has it's own good series.

 YOU LEFT OUT THE BEST ONE! You didn't list Gundam SEED... the newest Gundam series.
And by the way, Endless Waltz and Char's Counterattack are movies, not series. Most of Gundam is either OVA (released exclusively on VHS & DVD, never meant to be aired on TV) or movies.

I was wrong, with Char's Counterattack, But Endless Waltz was originally a 3 episode Miniseries.

Some people say that the Acronym for GUNDAM is:
General Unilateral Neuro-Link Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver
or
Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module
But According to Model Graphix model magazine, the Universal Century term GUNDAM is an acronym for:
General purpose Utility Non Discontinuity Augmentation Maneuvering
WEAPON SYSTEM

OK, a few more questions correct and I'll believe you.
How many total video cameras are mounted on a standard Gundam's head, and which ones capture video from which directions?

what Universe?
But mostly, The head mounted sensors, What you called Camera's, are Based in the Gundam's eyes, In Gundam wing there are 2 head mounted sensors, One for each eye. It's to feel like you're piloting in the Gundam's Head.

Again Which Universe?
Gundam Double X, for After War, Those Twin Satellite Cannons do Massive Damage! Full Armor Double Zeta Gundam for U.C, He's cool, and Has a big Gun capable of Mass Destruction. And I Lean towards Wing Zero, But it's a tie between Epyon and Wing Zero in the After Colony Universe..

WRONG! There are more video cameras (which IS what they ARE!) pointing in different directions. By "which ones capture video form which directions?" I meant, which cameras point in which direction: for example, you got the eyes correct, but you need to tell me which ways each one points. And you still left out a few cameras.

Nope, and I have Proof:
Take a look at this:
http://www.angelfire.com/gundam/universes/mainpage.html
The Mobile Suit Data from this site are Official Scematics from the creators.
and
Mobile suit cockpit displays, whether mundane flat panels or 360-degree panoramic monitors, display the surroundings as if the pilot were sitting in the mobile suit's head. Gundam Wing's "linear frame" cockpit actually swivels in sync with the mobile suit's head to minimize pilot confusion.

OK, either I'm not clear enough in my post, or you're not reading it thoroughly. The eyes are not the only video cameras on a Gundam's head. Your official schematics are obviously erroneous, because even in the shows and OVA's they make mention of and show more cameras.
Since you didn't get it in two tries, I'm marking this question as "wrong" for now.
There are four video cameras in total on a Gundam's head - Two eyes, one front (mounted on or near the base of the Gundam Crescent), and one rear (located on the upper rear head). The front and rear cameras are identifiable as little green squares. The eyes actually keep track of the sides, not the front (note how they sort of wrap around the head).
But OK, OK. I believe you. You do know quite a bit about Gundam.
