BobbyR1990 0 #26 August 7, 2011 QuoteQuoteDo you actually believe all these things you just wrote??? I always rec on Hd without special lens and program.. then you videos are not High definition. They may be good quality, but not high definition. high definition is simply a resolution... so if your camera is outputting video at 1920×1080 (1080p) or 1280x720 (720p) then you are shooting in high definition.

DSE 5 #28 August 7, 2011 Quote Quote So the Gopro is great to fart around for fun jumps, CX is what you want if you get paid and PC is still a good option if you dont have the cash to upgrade. The Go Pro shits all over any of the PC series or HC series cameras by a country mile! Many will say that Sony CX has better image quality than a Go Pro, and that 'is' the case if; You use a HD lens 'and' you record in HD 'and' you edit on specific software 'and' record onto blue ray disks... Most people that use CX series cameras will use liquid/cookie/etc lenses which produce grainy images with poor focus around the outside of the image. Also most people that use CX series cameras record in standard definition in order to speed up the editing process. Only if you record onto blue ray with all the above criteria will you have a HD video. It comes down to what editing system and computer you have to use. You could be a bit more wrong, but that would take a little effort. YouTube, Vimeo, and all other online distribution offer HD delivery. Blu-ray is not required for HD delivery on a DVD as either a BD or DVD-5. All editing software in the past 5 years is HD-capable, including most of the free softwares. Your argument about the GoPro being HD and the others shooting in HD delivered to SD is equally ignorant. Oranges to oranges; the end result is that any larger sensor, similar lens width on a Sony/Canon/Panny/JVC beats the smaller sensor and often plastic lenses of small-format cameras every time "by more than a country mile."

Zlew 0 #29 August 8, 2011 A lot of it depends on the type of video you shoot. Both cameras have strong advantages and some drawbacks too. If you just want something to record funjumps, I think the GoPro is fantastic. If you are shooting tandems or outside video, it isn't the right tool for the job.

PharmerPhil 0 #32 August 11, 2011 I can't read the text, but I love slides 19, 22 and 31. Apparently the GoPro has a fill flash built in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 16 #33 August 11, 2011 Those slides were with a regular camera and flash. The GoPro has nothing - not even a playback screen built in Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
