New GoProHD3

I was very fond of both GoPros I owned previously. They really do have some ingenious marketing strategies. Looks like I'm sold if I can find a justifiable reason in owning one!

There are always some weird things with EOSHD's articles. Now it seems like he would rather use GoPro for POV shots than a DSLR. That's just...That's someone speaking who hasn't actually used these cams. First of all...the GoPro doesn't let you lock the exposure. Secondly, there are absolutely beautiful pov shots being done on DSLR's at the moment. A full-frame DSLR will rock doing POV shots. Yes, you have to mount the camera but you have to mount a gopro too.

A GoPro is just not a good idea for narrative. Except for special action shots.

And why is every constant article in EOSHD bashing Canon cameras? That's ludicrous. Why isn't he bashing the Sony FS100 for horrible AVCHD artifacts and horrendous highlights? And that cam is not even that sharp. He owns it, where are the snark remarks?

Are you kidding me.
I'll have one of these mounted on top of our A camera just about all the time for any outdoor action - matched action, wide angle slomo for every shot.

My "WOW" was for the content.
Is that not what filmmaking is all about?
But to mount a full sized DSLR on top of ones head and ski off of cliffs...
I'll wow that too.
 
I do not understand how so many people are having so many problems with updating. I have 4 HD2's all with WiFi backpacks and remotes. They are all currently updated, as well as having the ProTune camera update. I did not have 1 issue with any of this.

Nice video, but jumping off the huge cliffs is bit different story then just ride steep hills and jump small rocks.

How about remote monitoring of the video live? I have everything done right except that the HERO2 doesn't seem to be able to send the video output to my iPhone.

Really? I've not had any of these 'issues' you mention with the FS100. Are you
an owner or just had a bad experience with a rental? The FS100 takes some work
for sure but no 'horrible' AVCHD artifacts that I have ever seen and with the right PP
highlights are fine. And it's a heck of a lot sharper than Canon DSLRs. Read Adam
Wilts article on it for more details

Note test charts comparing Canon DSLRs to FS100. Yeah it's no C300 but it's 3 to 4 times less
expensive too.

And yeah a GoPro would probably be most useful in a narrative getting special action shots.
That IS what it is made for after all. The Protune update means it is easier to mix the Gopro
footage with your A cam footage which is awesome in my book.
