Critic Reviews

GoPro HD Hero2: Outdoor Edition review | TechRadar

techradar.com

The GoPro HD Hero2: Outdoor Edition is a versatile action camera praised for its robust build and adaptability. It excels with light, compact design and impressive still image quality, offering multiple video modes including super slow motion. The wide-angle lens captures expansive views, making it ideal for adventurous filming. However, the lack of an included LCD screen and some poorly built accessories are drawbacks. The case can fog up, and a Dive Housing is necessary for underwater clarity. Despite these issues, its performance in dynamic environments makes it a strong choice for thrill-seekers.

GoPro HD Hero2 review: GoPro HD Hero2 - CNET

cnet.com

The GoPro HD Hero2 impresses with improved optics, new modes, and easier navigation, making it the best GoPro yet. Its rugged design remains, with backward compatibility for existing accessories. However, the interface, while better, can still confuse first-timers. The camera excels in flexibility, offering extensive settings on-device, unlike competitors. It lacks GPS but compensates with durability and accessory options. At $299, it's a solid buy for those prioritizing flexibility and quality over GPS features.
