p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · GoPro - worth a lick for stills?


Doing a family vacation and in thinking about leaving the DSLR at home I was curious of the GoPro. I've always been curious of these bc I do a lot of mtn biking and thought it might be fun to record with them, but glancing over at 500px I see lots of pretty decent stills..

Anyone have any experience with these? I'm sure lots of folks grab stills from the video. I'm not even sure what the focal lengths equate to. Thanks!

I wouldn't use mine for stills on a normal basis. it would work in a pinch, but most point and shoots would do much better, even one of the underwater models which have a bit lower quality than a typical p/s would be much better. they are also quite poor at low light and no provision for flash so one more thing to consider. I would never consider going on vacation with only a gopro, but that's just me.

Also remember that the gopro is a fisheye lens, so lots of distortion.....

Go Pro has the advantage of being tough enough to go where other cameras dare not.

Gopro is amazing for videos and doing crazy stuff, but for stills is SUCKS!!!!
