No 25p? Bit of a let down for us in PAL land if not,

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Ron I don't understand it either however when the Hero HD was released it didn't support 25P, was only added in a firmware update a bit later, beyond me why they didn't implement 25P into the Hero 2 straight away.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

And the best part, it looks to be the same size, so all the accessories I already own will work with this new camera.

Plus the "original" dropped in price.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Anyone know if they increased the bitrate or made any codec changes?

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Ha, typical! I just bought a GoPro Hero HD Motorsports at full price about 3 weeks ago.......

The accessories are compatible I take it, which is pretty cool for upgrading?

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

120 and 48 as frame rates?

I'm buying 2.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Would love to know if there is a PAL live output and 25 - 50p framerates
Other than that, it looks great!

Edit; Did send a e-mail to the GoPro rep I have contact with.
Hope he can answer my questions soon

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

yeah, but unfortunately 120 fps WVGA, 60 fps 720p, 48 fps 960p, 30 fps 1080p

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

There's also a mini-HDMI port. I hope it's live out during recording. This might be a way to monitor during 3D shooting when you can't use the LCD BacPac. The different angle of view options look interesting. Looks like they implement a sensor crop to make this happen. The most interesting thing on there website is a spec called "low light" with the description "Professional". Got to wonder what that actually means.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Sorry, I changed my mind. Best part is the video streaming via WIFI bac pac.

Wow....

Just wow.

I can't wait to take a look at that.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Looks awesome - sooo excited but....

Hey GoPro - where are the PAL settings (25P / 50P etc)??? Why do we have to go back a step with the format??

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Hero 1 switchable NTSC to PAL

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Underwhelmed until I see the "Professional low light performance"...

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
 

Good news for us PAL users!
I got a reply from there GoPro Support
