GoPro HD HERO2 - Pros & Cons

by the navigation controls that provide simple ways to launch and exit the applications
The still camera options are also impressive
are plentiful and very well thought out
the colours are nice and vibrant and clear
smooth performance and its wonderful photographic enhancements
It was a fantastic display to use for both work and pleasure
big
bright display
a decent set of cameras and a fairly good processor
video quality is much improved
test
and rate the best products
GoPro is as inconspicuous as it is versatile
improves upon many already excellent aspects of the Hero2
it accepts edits very well
The GoPro is a great investment
the footage looked a good bit nicer on the Hero2
its interface has been overhauled and is now much easier to view and understand
sharp and pleasing
sharper and more durable than the old lens
the menu system has also been made clearer

somehow doesn t seem as revolutionary as previous generations of mobile broadband
not too heavy to attach to a cycle helmet
there s no viewfinder to help you gauge your frame
5G connectivity as standard
price drops on this product
miniUSB port with a microUSB connector
No viewfinder supplied as standard making it a bit hit and miss framing
There s no tripod mount on the waterproof housing
not capable of unbridled magic
GoPro is pretty small
static footage and tend to be shorter
you are still limited by a miniscule light sensor
the HD Hero2 will no longer be waterproof
GoPro s are trending high among ski area lost and found offices
your videos will have your hands constantly blocking footage
comparatively dull lifestyle would bore my GoPro to
It will not bring in high quality audio
the menu settings can take a little getting used to
it is a terrible travel lens
it does not perform well in low light situations
the adhesive clips cling to anything with vigor
Sudden movements such as this can make the resulting material a little unpleasant to watch
they are somewhat fiddly
and limited in the number of angles
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
maddeningly difficult interface
timing the Burst to be tricky
Hero2's interface can still be a bit confusing for the first-time user
Contour+ is significantly more expensive
