I am resending my reply to Ken, as I received a warning from the server that my message was too long. For the whales and the surfers I rely mostly on my K-5 II S and the 70-300 zoom. I would use the GoPro more for filming the sail to and from the harbor and the views of the mountains and other is

Re: Go Pro

Dan, I have a Go Pro that I've used a bit and find the results to be very good. I've used it on an elastic headmount when I ran a 4 dog sled in an 8 mile race along the southern shore of Lake Superior in early January a few years ago - it was in the 0 to 10 degree F range and it still

You should just shoot progressive (30p or 60p) unless you really know what you are doing as converting 1080 60i to 30p can be kind of a pain in the rear. People shoot interlaced by choice still because they can render it out at 60p with a slight loss in vertical resolution. A lot of cameras (video

Thanks for you comments, David. There undoubtedly are annoying videos out there done with the GoPro, but probably no more than are made with any other camera or video camera. You said you don't know what you would like to achieve with it. The best GoPro videos I have seen are ones that capture a

Incidentally, as far as accessories go, the GoPro branded bits are pretty good, but one thing I wouldn't recommend is their suction cup mount. Instead, I have several of the Delkin mounts and they are absolutely bullet-proof: (links to amazon page) cheers -- PDML
