New GoPro, New Hero

The lightweight camcorder that is currently dominating the extreme sports world has taken to new heights.

 The new GoPro Hero3 that can shoot crazy quailty... more than the DSLRs which can only shoot 1080p HD while this can shoot an incredible 4000p @ 12 frames per sec (which I don't understand why it's 12 yet...). 4Kp is the equal quality on the cinema screen... I'm not saying this can start shooting films but it's incredible quality packed in the size of your hand.

Other features such as 12MP fps burst for photos and 720p 120fps for video. It is also WiFi built in so you can control it whenever you want.

Damn... I want one of those...

By the way Sony came out a Action Cam this year as well.... It's only the same quality as the old GoPro Hero2... but the same price as the Hero3.... you be the judge...

GoPro HD HERO2

Me and my friends have been making several videos this year and we've been making or going to record a few variety of videos. Such as short films, performances, interviews, weddings etc. We have two cameras: a Canon 7D and a Panasonic GH2. Both highly regarded in the video SLR field but sometimes they have limitations, such as protecting them from being potentially damaged, expenses to spend on their accessories or just simply not being about to capture 120fps (frames per sec) to get some nice slow motion.

GoPro is like the camera that can cover those flaws, mount it high above ground, go underwater, put it near an explosion scene and put it at 120fps to get some awesome production value shots.

There are cons to the GoPro of course, it's the fact that you cannot change the aperture, focal length, white balance etc. It's not the most technical camera but it's damn handy and you can afford it being smashed into pieces risking for your million dollar shot.

This video shows you more ways you can use and abuse your GoPro(s).
