The GoPro2 camera is a fun camera but the battery life is too short for me.
The GoPro2 only takes good colorful photos (and videos) with ample light.
Otherwise the color seems a bit washed out.
I think for not too extreme conditions, you'll get better photos and videos from the big name manufacturers "outdoor" or "rugged" point and shoot cameras like the Nikon COOLPIX AW100, Canon PowerShot D20, Fuji XP170, Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS4.
All of the cameras I mentioned have a large rear LCD viewing screen which is optional on the GoPro2.
Some of the cameras I mention have a "backlit CMOS imager chip" great for dim light situations. Not GoPro.
Some of the cameras I mentioned have built in GPS.
All of the cameras I mentioned have more features/scenes/styles than the GoPro2.
Some of the cameras I mentioned even have built in WiFi which is optional (and not available yet) for the GoPro2.
Some of the cameras I mentioned have some kind of image stabilization. I'm not sure of the GoPro2.
Some of the cameras I mentioned cost less and gets you more standard features than the GoPro2.
All of the cameras I mentioned are LARGER than the GoPro2. The GoPro2 is great on the size.
All the cameras I mentioned have a built in flash, The GoPro2 doesn't.
All of the cameras I mentioned have a better built in microphone than the GP2, but the DO NOT have a mic jack like the GP2.
All of the cameras I mentioned have a better/friendlier User Interface vs. GP2 is more cryptic (because of their size).
All of the cameras I mentioned are water, dust, temperature, shock resistant +/- when compared to the GoPro2 but.......
They are all "resistant" buy their own nature "naked" self (water proof case not required like the GoPro2).
All the cameras I mentioned have "some" zoom capability unlike GoPro2's fixed (limited angle) lens.
All in all, I think the GoPro2 has its place and use. Its proven. But I cannot reproduce the amazing shots like the commercials I've seen of it, and that is what I base a cameras worthiness on. I'm sorry, but the GP2 is just to hard to achieve great colorful shots when compaired to traditional "point and shoot" cameras.
Granted the GP2 is supposed to be super rugged and small, but the point and shoot camera offer "rugged" models too.
So all I'm saying is base your decision on your use, values, needs and bang for the buck.
Everybody has their own needs, standards and "cool factor". The GoPro2 is cool. It's hip. But not for me.

I recently purchased the Motorsports version directly from GoPro. This gadget (and the free Cineform editing software from GoPro's website) has a bit of a learning curve, but if you are reasonably tech-savvy you will figure it out quickly enough.
The first time I used the camera, I used the handlebar/seatpost accessory to mount it on a saddlebag guard rail on my motorcycle. Although I achieved a tight mount, the inner radius of the clamp did not exactly match the outer circumference of the bar... The result was excessive vibration and unusable video. On my second attempt I mounted the camera directly on the handlebars. Correct fit, better video quality, but still a little shaky. Harley Davidson bikes just have a fair amount of vibration- it's the nature of the beast.
Then I tried the suction cup mount and stuck the thing on my gas tank right behind the gas cap. SUCCESS. The rubber part of the suction cup acts as a vibration damper, and I got the video quality I was hoping for. The suction cup held fast at 70mph, and when I removed it from the bike, it left no mark on the tank's paint finish.
I also purchased the LCD Backpack accessory, which gives the camera a live view/playback capability. I feel this is must-have accessory. Maybe future generations of the camera will have this built in.
Transferring files from the camera to the computer is easy- connect the camera to your computer with the included USB cable, and your computer sees the camera as an extra storage drive. Then just copy the video or photo files to your computer's hard drive. Even faster transfer is achieved if you have a laptop with a built-in card reader slot.
I have not used the time lapse photography mode yet, so I can't report on that.
All in all, I am very happy with the results I've achieved so far. 4 out of 5 stars, only because I haven't explored all the camera's capabilities yes.
4/6/12 update; I'm thrilled with the results I'm getting with the HERO2. The suction cup mount is awesome- last week I mounted the cup on the SIDE of my H-D motorcycle's fuel tank and the thing held fast at 75mph. GoPro says it will hold fast at 150mph.
Some users are poo-pooing the free Cineform software available at GoPro's website. I think their problem is, they are trying to work outside of Cineform's designed workflow by taking the not ready for use .avi files and trying to edit them. Cineform provides for editing of the .avi and then EXPORTS to your harddrive as MP4.
I then take those MP4s into Windows Movie Maker and do whatever I want with them- clip, add music, wipes, captions, the whole 9 yards.
I like the HERO2 so much I'm thinking of getting a second one so I can get alternate views without having to pull over and reposition the camera.

Opened it as soon as it came in and it wouldn't function properly! The camera would not record or allow me to cycle through any of the different modes and functions.

I had wanted to get this for so long. Saw the first commercial back in 2010 and wanted it ever since. The $300 price tag kind of discourage me from getting it, until I saw it here for a much lower price. Obviously, I did my research and saw plenty of review for it on youtube and amazon, all the features, pros, cons and all that. But watching the videos of people actually using them and how amazing the quality was is what really sold me on it. I decided then that my life was too boring without this and I MUST HAVE IT!!! So I got it, the MotorSports edition to be precise, and instantly loved it. I loved the quality of the video and pictures. The menu system was very easy to figure out. I read through the manual a little bit but then started messing with the buttons and figured it all out in under 5 minutes. Low light performance when taking pictures does leave a little more to be desired. You have to be in well lit areas to take good, clear pics with them blurring or so. First thing I did was charge it of course, and I dunked the housing in water without the camera just to make sure that it was fully waterproof...it was. I also got the dive housing for it since I have seen a dozen videos showing the video quality contrast between the regular housing and dive housing underwater. Not sure why gopro couldn't make the regular housing give clear video under water, but the dive housing fixes that issue without forcing you to modify the regular housing yourself and voiding the warranty on it. The dive housing is excellent by the way. The suction cup works great, held on tight even through big bumps and potholes. I haven't used any of the adhesive mounts because I didn't want to waste them on my car. Another accessory I got was the gopole, very useful for recording yourself or going underwater with. I got the 3 foot extension and I really like it. Overall, I really like this camera, looking to do much more with in winter and next summer when I actually learn to swim. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a small, wearable, tough, underwater and all other condition camera.

The camera is good, but the video quality is not as nice as I was hoping. Very poor in low light, so make sure you shoot outside and on a sunny day. I recently ran into a problem of it stopping recording video and I am not sure why. The memory card still had a lot of space, so that remains a mystery.
Even despite its shortcomings, I still like it, although if you can spare a little extra cash, I would recommend springing for the Hero3.

I'll preface this by saying I'm not a filmmaker and aside from my iPhone 4s I have no experience with shooting video or pictures. So far I've found the GoPro camera to be very easy to use and very fun! I bought this camera specifically for 30 minute flight in a WWII B17 Flying Fortress that I just recently went on. I wanted something that took a nice wide angle shot, was HD, and that I could wear and therefore enjoy the experience of taking this flight and not have to be constantly snapping photos or holding a camera and trying to get "the shot". All I can say is I love this thing. The camera worked perfectly, I shot continuously for about 40 minutes with it in 1080p/30fps mode. I still have plenty of room on my 32GB SD card and the battery still has nearly a full charge.
The GoPro is a great buy, I highly recommend it.

The HERO 2 is better than the earlier version. I use this one mounted inside the top of my Jeep windshield to shoot video of my Jeep adverntures. Hero makes a variety of mounts and waterproof cases that let you be creative.

Overall a great addition to the camera mix. I use it a lot - it's durable, does a good job for it's intended purpose. What more can you ask in a product? Well, maybe the ability to review the video without having to hook up to another device, or purchase a viewer. Other than that - two thumbs up.

I'm not going into any technical specs of this camera since I'm sure there's tons of it already on Amazon. What I will tell you is this:
The audio is horrible
The menus are almost too rudimentary to navigate and everything is in symbols like heiroglyphics
You have to buy microphones and backup batteries and special holding devices...just for simple video
Battery life at 720 x 60 fps is dismal
Video quality is great
Lack of zoom is bad
Overall, a very narrowly functioning camera. I wish I had spent the money on something with a screen, zoom and scrollable menus.

The camera worked fine until I upgraded the software per GoPro's site recommendation. These things "brick" once you do that. Google "gopro freeze after update" to read more but get the word out... DON'T update the software! GoPro won't fix this either so there's a class action law suit started since THEIR software update destroyed the camera's of tens of thousands of people.
UPDATE: Contacted the Better Business Bureau and they got GoPro to send me a new replacement camera . They will replace it no matter how long it has been since you bought it. Too bad it took this much effort but EVERYONE can now get a replacement camera shipped to then free if you ask.

incredible camera! I bought it as a gift and we were shooting volleyball, tennis, ping-pong games since than. All the friends love the videos and it was a hit! Made to be used in all possible situation, very durable. The only drawback is the battery, it runs out quite fast.

Bought the Hero2 for scuba diving. Haven't used it there yet, but figured I'd better test it out on dry land first. Camera setup is really simple, scrolling through the buttons for functions takes a little practice but once you know what each does, it becomes straightforward. Bought the Hero2 in large part because of the multiple mounting systems included, particularly the head mount (for diving and not having my hand(s) occupied). Haed mount is REALLY secure, both in holding the camera and on the head. We'll see how it holds on a wetsuit hood, but my dry-demo seems to be GREAT. Buying the 32-gig memory chip is essential, as video takes up a LOT of memory. Shot about 20+ minutes which used more than a gig of data, so 3+ gigs/hour matches the 8-hour video claim for the Hero2. Download to my PC (using Windows Vista) was easy and straightforward, as was erasing from the chip. For viewing on your TV set, you'll need to buy separately the video/audio cable hookup (check Ebay), but that, too, worked out fine. The view through the lens is rather fish-eye, so you get a LOT of scenery, but the edge distortion is peculiar.

The Hero2 was a fun little device. Whether at Burningman or while lobster fishing it worked well. Then I bought the wifi backpack and was in the process of upgrading the camera firmware per the instructions and it failed. Now it's a brick. Apparently, this is a very common problem based upon articles I've read on the web.
I requested service and they had me try a couple of things. After that didn't work they told me that I would need to send it in. They issued me an RMA number and I sent it in from the post office 2 miles from the warehouse you ship them to in Riverside, ca.
That was the last I've heard from them. I've opened another case trying to find out what the status of my repair is.
I emailed the person that gave me the RMA number. No one will respond to my emails.
It's been more than two weeks since I sent it in and have heard nothing from them.
I was considering the Hero3 but based upon this experience, I will pass.
So, in closing, if you don't mess with it, it is a fun camera. If you try and upgrade the firmware and you brick it. Then sit down and wait. They might get back to you someday.
Update:
After opening a couple cases asking what happened to my camera I was told that it was shipped back to me on the first. I never received it. A few emails later I was told they were looking for tracking info. A week or so after that I received an email stating that it would arrive today. Looking at the tracking info it showed it was shipped last Friday (the 16th). It arrived today but unfortunately I left for T-giving vacation before it arrived. Hopefully it has the latest firmware installed in it.

It was a great camera for the first few months I had. But then after a while when I switch to photo mode, it froze up and when I turned it off it would still beep. I would recommend this camera but you want to be sure to return it if it has any bugs.but I was too late
