3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Original HD, November 10, 2011
Quick Summary:
Hero2 is clearly better than the original HD Hero in many areas. The price difference is justifiable although $300 was bit too much for my wallet. I am still happy with the purchase. If you are choosing between Original HD Hero and Hero2, I would get Hero2 for better low light performance. I would not use this camera for photos like point and shoot cameras unless there is lots of light and steady mount to take time-lapse photos. (Update 3/16/2012) My GoPro Hero 2 is broken now.

(Update 2/21/2012) I started seeing some disappointments from reviews regarding underwater focus and photo quality issues. The underwater focus issue is pretty disappointing, but there are many quality solutions from other vendors as little as $22. GoPro is almost ready to release the new diving case. IMHO, GoPro2 with a flat lens option produces amazing underwater result. I first thought $300 was too much for such plasticky cheap looking camera, but the performance is there as... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Downgraded from 5 stars after using it for a month., November 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I've had to revise my opinion on the camera. The original review is further on down.

Update: 12-8-2011 - There's a firmware upgrade available! It added missing features - but reset all custom settings.

Update: 1-25-2012 - Firmware upgrade messed up the video and still photo quality. Everything now has a tint, from cyan to magenta. Very noticeable in low light and on snow. Gopro states the latest version of the firmware corrects this problem (.58) but it does not. It corrected the corrupted video on low battery problem, and the problem when the entire image had a strong cyan or magenta tint (looked like a colored film was in front of the lens.) But there's now an almost rainbow color cast to everything. Not happy. Downgrading the review from 5 stars to 1. It's taking 3-4 BUSINESS days for tech support to reply back. Then I have to reply. And so on. A couple of messages - almost two weeks. Lousy support. What's worse, they don't read the message. I detailed the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, there is no competition for the best helmet cam, October 31, 2011
By 
Mike C. (tulsa, ok United States) - See all my reviews
The previous hdhero was the consensus best helmet cam on the market and now with the hdhero2 there is absolutely no doubt which one is best. These are just the imporvements that are relevant to me:

1. The screen is MUCH easier to navigate through and gives you a lot more info while filming than the previous hdhero. Resolution, wide angle/medium wide angle, battery life, remaining recording time on sd card, mode, and record time are all on the screen at the same time.

2. The beeping is louder. With the previous gopro if you had the waterproof housing on it was hard to hear. Not anymore.

3.New super slow mo option. You can now shoot at standard definition at 120 frames a second which lets you play back at incredibly slow mo. On the previous go pro the maximum was 60 frames per second. So you can now go twice as slow.

4. If I'm not mistaken this motorsports editin comes with more mounting hardware than the original hdhero... Read more
