GoPro camera review

It is no surprise that the complete line of GoPro HD cameras were a hit at this years 2012 Consumer Electronic Show (CES). GoPro was such a big hit that the company won two prestigious CES rewards.

At the GoPro booth, the company displayed the GoPro HD Hero, the new GoPro HD Hero2 camera, and new Wi-Fi BacPac. The GoPro HD Hero and the GoPro Hd Hero2 both shoot in 1080p highs definition. However, it is in the new GoPro HD Hero2 where the most advanced technology is incorporated. The company unveiled the GoPro HD Hero2 specifications to onlookers at CES, arguing that it is the smallest and most advanced wearable high definition camera on the market. In addition to GoPro cameras, they released the Wi-Fi BacPac which allows users to wirelessly control up to 50 GoPro cameras.

Each year at the CES one respectable company is given the Popular Mechanics 2012 Editor’s Choice Award. GoPro was honored by receiving this well deserved award. The CES award recognizes a company for technological innovation and product design. As a result of GoPro’s innovation with the Wi-Fi BacPac, GoPro won the Best Accessory award at CES. As these rewards can attest, GoPro is leading the way to capturing extreme high definition online content.

GoPro HD Surf Hero2

The GoPro HD Surf Hero camera was inspired by Nick Woodman when he was on a surf trip in remote Australia. Traditional camcorders were too big to use while surfing and in order to film you needed a person to shoot you. And anyways, who wanted to shoot video or photos when the waves were good?

The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing tournament in 2011 marks a big moment in GoPro history. Sunny Garcia was the first professional surfer to use the GoPro HD Surf Hero2 in a live competition. The GoPro HD Surf hero was mounted to the nose of his surfboard during his heat in 6-8 foot Sunset Beach, Hawaii. As you can see from the frame-grabs of his footage, the quality is superb. Can you imagine a live feed using a GoPro camera of surfers getting barreled at a contest? Let’s hope in the future that GoPro makes this possible.
