Since getting my Hero 2, I really love it. The video quality is superb and I loved using time lapse photography on it to capture the night sky. The only thing I didn't like was that the case it came with hat a scratch in it that you can see in the picture so I bought a new one. After using it, the main benefit to getting the Hero 3 or 4 is the fact that they are WiFi enabled. So if you wanna save some money, get the Hero 2 because the quality is superb and it's nice and simple. I would definitely recommend this product.

I haven't had much chance to use it. The one time I did, it didn't turn out too good, through no fault of the GoPro. I used it at night without extra lighting. I'm still learning.

First of all, the construction of this camera is quite sturdy. A solid feel to the housing is impressive. Second, the size and weight is very user friendly, takes up very little space for my specific use (FPV) on my aerial vehicles. Button operations organized quite well, menu access is adequate and practical for navigating through all functions. Video quality is great from narrow medium and wide angle shots give you a wide range of FOV options to achieve shots you are looking for. Various resolution settings are nice and will accommodate most all video settings you will ever need. Battery life is more than adequate to fill up my memory card far before my battery needs charging (32 gig on mine). but it depends on resolution and settings. The water proof enclosure is great (although I will probably not need it) and the mounting bases come in handy when needed. Overall, It's a Great Buy!!Read full review
I bought this camera for general outdoor filming and it's been fantastic overall. I've only had this camera for a few weeks but I'm already in love with it. Out of the box, this camera is really easy to use and get started with right away...but I highly recommend reading the instructions first as they contain a lot of important information and also really helpful tips that will make your usage experience even better. The battery life is about what you'd expect based on the size of the camera...it lasts for about 2 hours of pure filming, plus whatever charge is needed to navigate through the menus and settings when you're setting up to shoot. I strongly recommend buying a secondary battery if you plan on taking your GoPro on lengthy excursions where you'll be doing a lot of continuous filming. I also bought a portable USB charger that I can use to charge a dead battery while I keep shooting with the backup battery...it's extremely handy to have! I also recommend getting at the very least a 16GB SDHC memory card (the more memory, the better) as well as an additional card for storage backup...for my very first video I shot for about 10 minutes at 960p in 48fps and the video filesize was approximately 1GB. I think a 32GB SDHC card with a 16GB as a backup would be the ideal setup. Video quality from this camera is superb. As you've no doubt seen in demo videos, it shoots in full HD and you can choose to have the wide-angle capture or not if you don't want the fisheye effect around the edges. I recommend also buying a polarizing filter to put inside the plastic housing, as it immensely cuts down on glare and harsh brights. If you plan on using this camera to record anything that needs sound (or good sound quality), I highly recommend buying an external microphone (which you can pickup for fairly cheap for decent quality) as the built-in microphone is quite poor (which is understandable because of the housing around it). The camera has awesome features in addition to the great video quality like time lapse and burst photo...I have not tried time lapse mode myself yet but I am very excited to give it a try. The burst photo mode is incredibly useful to capture that one perfect moment during something that is happening very quickly or is fast action. What really makes this camera great is all the various mounts and accessories that you can buy for it...you can literally mount it anywhere. Just be careful about any non-official GoPro gear - make sure to lookup reviews first, as many of the third-party accessories and add-ons are not built with the same high quality. Just be sure to take really good care of the outer plastic housing...yes, it is waterproof (to a certain extent) and is designed to protect the camera itself from damage, but any scratches or marks on the housing near the part that covers the lens will certainly be visible in your videos. Some people recommend using Rain-X on the outer housing to prevent water droplets with use in the water, but I've found this only makes the water beads more clear in the video...I recommend simply licking the outside plastic that covers the lens, as this will provide a film to help prevent droplets forming. Since the HD Hero 2 came out recently, if you can find it brand new for sale for under $350, it's a good deal. I was lucky and managed to find a great deal on mine but it's still well worth the full retail price if you see yourself using it a lot.Read full review
