this isnt just "pretty cool," this is fucking revolutionary. They took the few downfalls of the gopro 3 - auto exposure, fixed lens, etc. and turned it into a beast of a camera. the test footage looks great, the camera can fit in my pocket FFS, it's going to change the game. Dowant.jpg

Right, but they also lost some of GoPro's best features, like an extremely durable all condition camera. Which essentially just makes it a nice, screen less, compact DSLR unless you add the bulky screen or view it via wifi. Idk, still pretty cool regardless.

Just buy a regular gopro when you need the all around durable camera. What do you buy when you want the most compact interchangeable lens quality camera on the market? Nothing right now that would compete with this

Too bad the gopro sensors is awful, the sample shots had terrible DR...

True, I guess I'm just downplaying how important the compact part is probably because its not a factor I value right now.

Isn't there a hack for that? There should be some kind of ML for the gopro... But I feel like more data would just melt the thing like butter because it's so small and compact.

Is that 750$ a week a joke? I'm surprised it even costs that much to buy.

That test footage looked pretty shitty. Highlights were all super clipped due to the horrible DR of the GoPro sensors. This is kinda cool but in the end pretty pointless.

It's pretty awesome, except for the fact you can't house it. Waterproof? no way. Probably good for serious filmakers but not me, not you're average joe.

All of the extra features are nice, but I do think they kind of defeat the purpose, at least for me, of a GoPro. But I would pay big bucks if there was a way to get an interchangeable lense on my GoPro so I could change focus. That would be perfect.

I saw pictures of this a while back. its cool and all but when you really think about it, its god damm pointless.

To be able to shoot with this thing it needs to be all rigg'ed up. Sure its smaller than a rigged dslr but I would rather get a dslr and have lens choices than pick up this thing which ends up being the same size.

sure its 4k video in a tiny camera, but then again, if you dont have the budget to buy a 4k camera, why the hell do you need a 4k camera!

Plus 4K @ 12fps is pretty fucking useless.

It's all about bit rates. Gopro may claim to shoot at 1080 but it has a very low bit rate. I believe it's around 4. Anyone know what the bit rate is on this guy?
