I have tried several non gopro brand recorders and was always disappointed. Especially the more inexpensive ones. The video quality usually turns out virtually unusable.
Agree... These cameras have to really compress the files. GoPro now owns Cineform who developed the better codecs. A better codec (compression/decompression), will allow better fidelity in processing. Basically the leader in the space/industry. Wonder why every TV show uses them? That's why. Camera form is one thing, but only one thing. It's what you can do with the files and the ultimate fidelity that is key for post production and final end product. The best cameras shoot completely uncompressed but for most folks that's unobtainable with too much bandwidth and storage needed so we compress for them most part today and codecs are key to doing so effectievely. Today though we have been groomed to watch crappy video on small screens, even crappy on big screens. In any regard we are lucky to be able to shoot as we do today with cheap cams wherever we are. Still... With GoPro you are buying the codecs and ability to preserve IQ through processing. The rest, you get your camera and whatever solution they can bundle for you which may or may not be as effective but may be fine for many people's needs.
There are 70 + questions asked about this camera on Amazon. One thing of note is it will only play sound in VLC or quicktime, not Windows Media Player. But lots of other questions answered to see if it can fill a need Also loops so with power could be a surveilance type camera
