GoPro or Other?

   I have. Gopro, it is good but even better when the sun shines, it makes a lot of difference to the filming. 
The camera can take up to a 32gb card, but even 5 gb of film can take a while to process on a normal laptop.

	What I've found with the cheap one I bought (and the gadget show found, too) is that the Gopro has a wider field of view than many of the others, so you get more boat in the shot. Of course, I may be missing something with different lenses, too - my knowledge on such things is minimal.

	The Sony looked good when it was launched but I've read reviews lately that pan it. GoPro is definately the way forward. As has been said the full HD isnt needed for making Youtube clips, but comes in handy for watching back your own efforts. One thing to bear in mind is that GoPro are on their 3rd iteration, so early examples can now be picked up cheap. Also the new Hero 3 (White) is now pretty cheap. It doesnt have the functionality of the other two models but you wont need them anyway.

	I see that Aldi have a waterproof camera on offer this week at £39.99, and wondered whether this would work as a cut price version to the Gopro route? The three year guarantee might be of some value given the salty environment which the camera would work in. On the cut price route, I see that Lidl have/had a £99.00 waterproof video camera, and an twist and grip mounting tool which looked like it could be employed to fix the camera to bits of the boat. Are they worth a look, or are they too basic?
