Doug, this is a very well written article. I am curious if you received any support from the manufacturers -- because they certainly should have feared you would "call it like it is" as opposed to the "advertising they want."
I agree entirely with your standings, but from a less objective standing. I have always liked the GoPro but Sony has many more years of experience in the video business. I was interested that Nikon, and Cannon have stayed away from action cameras to the degree that they have. I have always maintained the best digital camera is made by someone who actually made cameras before they went digital.
No detector can compensate for lousy optics. That's still the reason why some of the larger cameras are still in use, but not for long...

Thanks Bryan for another informative article regarding the separation issue, and the challenge formed by varied experience levels. I am a relative newbie to skydiving (B-license), but I am also obsessed with safety. There are too many factors that could lead to tragedy should we become negligent.
