I've never heard of GoPro before, if skiing and racing cars are your markets I don't think it's competing with Flip. I think Flip actually lost the fight again

I've never heard of GoPro before, if skiing and racing cars are your markets I don't think it's competing with Flip.
I think Flip actually lost the fight against PRO-ish (high-end) photo cameras, now they're cheaper, smaller and shot video just perfect, I have seen many youtubers using those instead of Flip (what I believe was their market, home videos).
- blhack 16y agoCheck it out (Gopro): http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-HD-HERO-960-Camera/dp/B003YMN3O6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1302623300&sr=8-4 http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-HD-HERO-960-Camera/dp/B003YMN3O6... Compare it to this (the flip): http://www.amazon.com/Flip-UltraHD-Video-Camera-Generation/dp/B0040702HA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302623424&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Flip-UltraHD-Video-Camera-Generation/d... The gopro is a really great little camera, and it's actually pretty cheap. People mount these to RC aircraft, or to the side of their motorcycle, or the front of their surfboard, or, anything... The fact that you've never heard of it isn't an indication that it wouldn't be a competitor to the flip, it's just an indicator that gopro hasn't decided to advertise to you yet. In my opinion, the gopro is the hands-down better of the two cameras.
- timtadh 16y agoThey just seem to have entirely different purposes. GoPro looks really good for doing POV work. But, flip seems to be better for standing and filming something. I am a swing dancer and people seem to always use a Flip (or a cell phone) when recording themselves or others. So GoPro may be the better camera but that doesn't mean it is appropriate for every situation just as the Flip is not appropriate for every situation.
