The quality of the video is amazing for such a small camera. As my mom said when she first saw it, "It's like watching HDTV." Um, yeah. The 1080p video is spectacular. Color depth is fantastic, sharpness is great. The 5MP photos are adequate, and can be useful if being edited into a video, but not so much as a "high quality" still. I've never used 960p or 480p, so I can't speak for those, but 720p is also useful, for a couple reasons: 90% of the time, when I use 720p, I use 60FPS to get all the gritty detail for some good slow-mo footage, but there were a few times I've used 720p purely for it's 170-degree view. For really intense action sports, the wide angle gives you a much better view, and a more stable image. It's also nice using 720p along with the helmet cam, because it gives a close approximation of what the person's field of view actually is.
It's got to be good, because national television networks are using the camera for regular footage! If you watch Discovery, History Channel, or MTV even a little, you will catch shots of the the GoPro all over the place, including shows like Mythbusters, One Man Army, and Nitro Circus. Professionals like Travis Pastrana and Tanner Foust use GoPros all the time to catch their stunts and showcase their equipment and teams.
The problem I usually end up having is getting stuff on the lens of the waterproof case. I've had bug splatter, water spots, and saltwater residue; and flying rocks or just getting too friendly with abrasive objects have scratched the lens. Luckily some RainX helps prevent water spots, and lens replacements are cheap, and easy to replace. The problem is, I usually don't know until the end, or when I'm editing the video, that the lens was obscured.
Things I wished were on this camera: an option to zoom in and out (independent of the resolution), option for a narrower field of view (more zoom), even higher frame rates, higher resolution stills, better low light capability, microphone input, and HDMI. Well, guess what. Only a few months after I got my HD Hero, the significantly improved HD Hero 2 is now out. And, it has ALL the things in my wish list! So what's a man to do? I guess owning 2 GoPros should have also been on my wish list.
The menus take a while to go through, but I don't expect to use most of the options, so its not a huge deal. I set it up ahead of time, and then I just have to hit record. Battery life is decent, although I wish it was longer. I will definitely need to buy another battery. The price is good, right there with the many other options out there, and cheaper than many others as well. Audio is decent, and I know its not the usual focus of these kinds of products, but I hope future models incorporate better microphones, just to keep putting GoPro past the competition, since I think sound is important along with image clarity. The one bad thing about the video is that the camera isn't the fastest out there with regards to focusing or adapting to change light, so there will sometimes be wavy distortion, odd coloring, or overly bright lighting at times, although not for very long. I know some of this is due to the technology itself, but something that can be improved upon in the future.
Overall, I looked at a lot of similar products for months, contemplating all the advantages to each, differences between, pricing, future models, accessories, etc, and I bought this one overall all others, and I'm glad I did. Not that it means much to whomever reads my reviews, but I've noticed over the years that many of my friends and family tend to look to me on product advice, whether asking directly to advise them on a product they should buy, or simply buying the same thing I've bought. They know I put a lot of time and thought into these sorts of things, and they've never been disappointed.

Habe es mit dem Motorrad und dem Mountainbike probiert. Einfach tolle Ergebnisse!! Kabel anstecken und schon kann man sich am TV bewundern.
Sollte man vorhaben sich eine Helmkamera zu kaufen, dann BITTE nicht am falschen Fleck sparen versuchen ( ...wie ich selber!!) Diese Kamera ist einfach ein Hammer und mit dem zusätzlich erhältlichen Zubehör gibt es nichts wo man die Kamera nicht richtig befestigen könnte um Spaß zu haben.
ABSOLUTE Kaufempfehlung!!!!
Gratulation an GoPro, tolles Produkt, tolle Ideen und hoffe es geht so weiter!!!!
Commençons par le commencement, Amazon tout d'abord, le meilleur prix du web le jour ou je l'ai acheté (229 euros en décembre 2011), il m'avait annoncé 4 à 5 semaines de délai et je l'ai finalement reçu en 1 semaine, première bonne surprise !
La caméra quand à elle, n'a plus rien a prouver, la gopro est la meilleure de sa catégorie, encore ce dimanche dans auto-moto sur tf1, le journaliste se filmait au volant avec la gopro ventousée sur la vitre (accessoire pack motorsport), tout ça pour dire que son usage est aussi bien pour les amateurs que pour les pros...
L'écran est très simple, ça fait peur au premier regard mais la notice simple et bien faite permet de vite maitriser le sujet.
5 modes de vidéos sont disponibles (R1 à R5) du 4/3 au 16/9eme avec toute les définitions (HD 1080, 960...) tout y passe, chacun y trouvera son compte. La qualité vidéo est top sauf en intérieur si la luminosité manque...
Ce coffret est très bien pensé, même si je rajouterais la fixation pour cadre de vélo et la fixation harnais, ainsi que pourquoi pas l'écran LCD et une 2ème batterie, mais dans ce cas vous doublez pratiquement le prix de départ, point négatif, tout les accessoires supplémentaires ne sont pas à moins de 20 euros !
Pour la carte SD, j'ai acheté une 16 gigas kingston classe 4 sur amazon et aucun soucis, elle est d'ailleurs recommandé sur le site de gopro (cependant une classe 6 ou 10 vous permettra de transférer les vidéos sur votre PC plus rapidement, pc qui d'ailleurs doit être assez récent pour pouvoir lire de la HD sans saccade).
Bref je pourrais en écrire des tartines, c'est le top de la caméra embarquée, pour tout usage vu le nombre d'accessoire dispo... je la recommande sans hésiter !
My only criticism would be that you can't view what you are recording (unless you buy the lcd screen separate) and the quality of the photos aren't that good in low light.
Buy it and enjoy!
ヘルメットへの装着は両面テープなので、何かの拍子に外れて落としてしまうのではないかと不安でしたが
両面テープは強力なので問題ないようです。
電池は付属していますがSDカードは別途購入する必要があります。
連続撮影時間は思ったほど長くはないです(長時間撮影すると容量が膨大になっていまいます)
使用方法は簡単です。
