Abstract: Steve Douglas When the original GoPro was introduced into the market it immediately filled a niche for a great many people who would probably have not gotten into video or whose budgets simply didn't allow for it. As I used the first GoPro HERO to co...

Inexpensive. Rugged construction. Good quality video. Compact. Waterproof to 197 feet.
Limited battery life. Archaic control system. Fixed focal length lens. No GPS

1080p video at 170deg field of view, Display greatly improved over HD Hero, 11MP still photos, 120fps slow motion video at WVGA
Still images are noisy in low light, No builtin display or viewfinder, External mic jack not accessible in case, Short battery life.
The GoPro HD Hero2 boasts improved optics, a few new video- and still-photo-shooting modes, and backward compatibility with current HD Hero accessories. Most importantly, its interface has been overhauled and is now much easier to view and understand
As improved as it is, the Hero2's interface can still be a bit confusing for the first-time user
The GoPro HD Hero2 is easily the best GoPro camera yet, with the ruggedness and quality that we've come to expect and a new user-friendly interface.
