Title: GoPro & Sony Actioncam current prices
Post by: GreenMachine on July 14, 2015, 12:36:22 PM
Some ideas for any of you thinking of video recording your rides.

What once was the 5MP Hero3 White, which sold for $200, looks now to be the Hero HD and sells for $130.

The 11.9 megapixel Sony AS20 Black, which sold for $200, is selling for $170.

I forgot why I chose GoPro over the Sony, but mine are the Hero3 (http://www.sierrasportbike.com/smf/index.php?topic=4334.msg41486#msg41486) White version 5MP, now HD.  The Hero3's built-in stereo microphone is quite realistic in its audio capture.  Not sure about the Sony.  That may have been why I made the choice I did.  I think the Sony's case has to be drilled for better sound reproduction.

And comparison of similar ones:
