The new GoPro Hero2 camera (
http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero2-outdoor-edition/  ) performs
extremely well. This is an unenhanced test-edit video from a recent flight at
Sylmar under hazy conditions along a 10-mile stretch of the San Gabriels

This video was shot in 1080p 30fps wide mode using a 16GB SanDisk Ultra II Class
4 SDHC card. The raw video in this mode is ~16Mbps and was rendered down to
13.3Mbps using PowerDirector 9.

The only other feature I've had time to try is the external microphone, which
worked well w/ an Olympus stereo condenser mic. I feel their claim of a 2X
sharper lens is reasonable based upon the detail evident in the frame stills I
captures.

Please note that a bug has been reported where the Hero2 camera will freeze if
used w/ the battery BacPac. It will have to be sent back under warrantee if that
happens. I see that a firmware update is pending.
