Alight I have a dilemma, I live in Australia, my sister bought me a gopro for the New York. I ask specifically for a hero 2. I was so looking forward to getting it. She ended up getting me the old 1 (not hero2). I cant return it and I havnt opened it yet. (and im pretty sure my sister got ripped off and payed hero2 prices for old camera but that’s a different issue). so i dont know wat to do.

Here are my options

Just put up with the one she bought be.

Try and sell, I know it probs wont go for that much now its old technology

Buy the hero 2 and have 2 cameras. (very expensive option)

Thoughts? Ideas?

I don’t know what to do

+k for good help

why do you want the hero 2 so much more? It's really not a huge difference...

Well, the only big difference between the two is low light capacity of the hero2. It's 10times better. and the stabilisation is a bit better. Other than this, it's the same deal!

they are very similar. i have gotten some quality shots with my two 1st generation gopros. just learn how to use it better than everyone else. quality is still better than most things on the market anyway.

If you aren't interested in low light capability, you likely won't notice a difference.

Unless you're a really good filmer and you've just been holding out on us.

wow everyones very hateful haha, but yeah you won't notice a difference and arguably for skiing the hd1 is better, from what I've seen on a side-by-side comparison video, unless you're wanting the gopro 2 because you already have one and you want to film 3d then there's no point selling it.

we're hating because he's complaining about his 300 dollar gift his sister didn't have to give him.

you sound like you're about 12. your sister bought you a fucking expensive gift so stop whining and be grateful. the gopro 1 is not "old technology", the gopro 2 is just a marginally improved version. just because it's the latest version doesn't mean you have to have it, it won't make a blind bit of difference to your filming unless you're a pretty experienced filmmaker who can actually utilise the difference.

i highly doubt it'd be difficult to sell, but i know for a fact if my sister bought me a gopro and i just sold it straight off she'd be pretty hurt.

keep it, enjoy it, make edits of you and your friends having fun and for god's sake stop being such a little bitch.

yes i mad.

He's not being a little bitch. Why is everyone hating? He wants the 2 and she bought him the 1. He's not complaining that his sister bought the GoPro, he's just saying he wants the 2 instead of the 1 and is trying to figure out the best option. If my sister bought me a pair of skis that were some Afterbangs when I want some pow skis I'd be pumped that I got skis but I'd also do what I can to get rid of the Abangs to get some pow skis. Stop being a bunch of haters and just help the kid.


OP if I had any ideas for you I'd tell you, but I don't so good luck.

Why does this shit keep happening in M&A.

OP, you didn't get what you wanted, you know your family, we dont. Is your sister going to be upset if you sell it? Maybe, but only you know.

Everybody else, yes hes being a little bitchy, but he has a a reason (it may be stupid), but that is not up to you.
