Hi,
I have posted before on this topic, so apologies for the repeat posting. See my previous rambles under my profile history. I want to get a head/action cam thing for mucking about with, which will include mountain biking, filming our daughter growing up and such like. Going to get it from John Lewis, as I have vouchers.
I like the look of GoPro cameras, which are everywhere. The range goes from good value to top end, so there is a camera for most budgets. I had previously thought of going for a Silver 3+, having thought it was worth the investment over the basic starter sub £100 model.
Now I am not so sure and am considering either of the following:
GoPro Silver 3+ (£200)
GoPro Silver 4 (which is slightly better and has a screen)(£270?)
Sony hdr-as100vr (includes wrist wifi control) £230
I like the idea of being able so shoot in slow motion and linking into wifi, which all of the above can do to some extent.
I think the GoPro has the advantage in being able to get mounts and accessories widely for the unit, but then the Sony comes with built in image stabilization, which is supposed to be good. If anyone says absolutely don’t go for a Sony, I will cross it off the list, but I think the latest model from them is supposed to work well.
Any thoughts?
