[I haven't had an opportunity to watch the video yet]. Tim, this neatly sums up all of my gripes with the GoPro. It's fantastic for POV shooting, but as a stand-alone camera, it's very poor. Unless the lighting is spot on (actually, forget that, unless the sun is shining brightly), colours are washed out. For me, it has two uses:
- Filming continous sequences where you couldn't reasonably expect to film, particularly in extreme conditiuons - I've seen some mesmorising BMX footage for example.
- As parts of an overall video to provide added "realism".
Where videos (and this comment doesn't realate to this video) use the GoPro in a variety of conditions, and are the only video shot, Tim's points will invariably hold true.
