First point .... don't watch too many vids all the way through because of the over production eg Music, I just think you lose all the atmosphere of a family ski holiday. Don't take that personally everbody seems to add music to their vids at the mo .... I guess apple have a lot to answer for :lol:
I did used to add music during the editing process but I decided to go back to basics and even then it was background as I do like to do a bit of chating on my vids.
Now I know you said the ski mounting vid was boring after a couple of mins but I watched that all the way through.
Second point .... I have never worried about "Cool" how can I, I use a hand held video Camera.... Not very cool. :oops:
Third point .... after watching the vids I can see that there can be a fair amount of editing required as the camera is fixed as opposed to getting a wider sweep angle with a hand held.
What I have to decide is wether it is a nice to have or a must have... and is it gonna add quality
to my holiday movie ... on that I'm undecided at the moment.
At £300 I could put that money towards a decent new HD vid cam :shock:
Music. Well in my case i put the music there as there simply was no other sounds apart from the odd crunch of snow. The GoPro comes with two cases, a fully waterproof (which you need in snow) and a semi protective case. In the full case sound is almost blocked out.
Editing. You can edit as much or as little as you like, i don't see much difference to a standard cam.
Must have. Not really. But i think its nice to get great pics to look back on. I couldn't mount my fuji x10 on a ski pole and no one else was there to take my pics. So i guess for most its just a 'nice to have'
£300. as posted they are much cheaper now.
