This really is "developing" into a photography thread, but anyway.... was thinking of a GoPro for the boat and other damp activities, but then i started looking around at ruggedised pocket cameras and now I'm not so sure. Is the GoPro worth the money d'yethink? Is it OK as a general camera or too specialised?
this is my second gopro- a friend gave me one of the very first ones, tis handy out in the yak,but wanted something with more bells and whistles... HD, 10 11mp shots per second, that kinda thing.. cannot fault them, loads of adapters for them and if you shop about you can get both the camera and the add ons for a far better price than most irish stores....
I got my gopro2 on ebay, new for 242, buy same set in ireland- 349..... irish are thieves. =D
word of warning, I'd not bother going near gopro 3 , overpriced, fairly flawed too apparently in terms of battery time and such...
Igot mine here
