GoPro 5 Hopes & Dreams

[Ryan Farnes]

• Global shutter (not sure if you need a CCD or if they can implement it with CMOS in a GoPro at that price point)
• Shutter speed control (I don't mind if they bury it in menus)
• Higher bitrate option

That is all. Not sure how realistic global shutter is, but it is the single larger sticking point for me with this camera and just about every other small camera out there. (mostly cell phones, heh)

What else are you guys hoping for in the next iteration?

They would need to give a wide, non-fisheye look for me to consider.

Industry standard TV resolutions and frame rates would be nice too. Some GoPro footage is a PITA to import and edit.

Remote control at least 4 times the size of the GoPro.
with buttons the size of my finger tips
with HighRes TouchScreen big enough to read
