The GoPro phenomenon [cameras]
Doesn't it always work that way: we had compiled a very detailed review of the GoPro Hero and published it mid-October 2011. And then, just a few days later, GoPro introduced the Hero2. Fortunately, the Hero2 is similar enough that much of our original Hero review remains valid. There are, however, also rather substantial improvements, and so we'll use this review to both explain and highlight the concept of the GoPro Hero, and also how the latest Hero2 model differs from the original.
When I first got a GoPro, I was impressed with the small size of the camera (2.3 x 1.6 x 1.2 inches) and certainly dazzled by all the mounting hardware it came with. But while the GoPro is tiny, it isn't particularly elegant or high-tech, and compared to all those waver-thin compacts it's actually a bit stout. But somehow its small, boxy shape resonates with people. They love it.Who and what is GoPro? GoPro was started in 2002 by a surfer who wanted to have a camera to take along surfing. The name came from many a surfer's wish to "go pro," and "hero" stems from making people feel like heros when they could record and show their stunts.
The original GoPro actually still used film, even in 2005. The second did silent 10 second digital video, the third had an SD card slot and 3 megapixel, the fourth, in 2008, had a wide angle lens, could do 5mp stills and VGA video. Fuuvi Bee Digital Camera Brings Back the 8mm Look.Then came the big step to high definition video and today's HD Hero 960 (960p video), Hero (1080p video), and now Hero2 (faster, more video and still modes, overall better).
