[news] GoPro HD Hero 2

[tcott]

GoPro just released a new camera. Check it out http://gopro.com/hd-hero2-cameras/ (http://gopro.com/hd-hero2-cameras/)
Looks like they made a lot of improvements to the still shots, gave it a higher quality lens, and added more field of view options for the video. Good thing I just bought the old one a couple months ago :facepalm1:

That's awesome! ( insert sarcasm) especially since my gopro 1 was just delivered yesterday. I don't recall seeing anything about a second one on the market as of 4days ago. I feel cheated 4 days later same price for the new one as I paid for the older version.

Haven't been watching them, really, but just noticed the original Hero dropped like $75 on Amazon in the last 2 days... So is the new version worth that much more than the old? Should I jump on the old one before they're gone, or pay full price for the new? :ne_nau:

I think I might use the 30 day money back guarantee option then turn around and get the new edition for the same price I spent 4 days ago.

It would be nice if you could contact them by phone rather than the only other option- email support.

The previous HD Helmet Hero is only $239 now.

1. Submit a photograph taken by you with a Go Pro camera.

Dumbass contest.... does anyone actually use their Go Pro for photographs???

And no screen grabs from Go Pro video. :roll:

With the new contest and the second generation Go Pro it sounds like they want to hit the photgraphy end a lot harder.
