GoPro HD or Contour 1080p?
Since the introduction of those little toys, I have been thinking of getting one of them as a secondary unit.
I am planning to use it, helmet mounted, offering alternative perspective to main cam, or as a primary(realizing off course their shortcomings), for those dives you don't want to take the large setup.
I am primary looking for an opinions on u/w use - I have seen side by side topside footage.
Any opinions?
Picture quality, contrast, color, white balance, low light conditions, working with artificial light sources, night diving, cave diving, lens quality, as well as ease of u/w operation, etc.
Price wise Hero is definitely better choice, but Contour's housing has a deeper ratings which is important to me and you don't need any aftermarket focus solutions.
What about image stabilizing, I am guessing it become important in such a light and tiny setups.
Which one is a better choice?
