Hi,
I currently use a Sony HDR XR-500V in a Patima Housing (no manual white balance or internal filter) with a wet Inon Wide Angle lens and two 24 Watt Darkbuster HID lights. The setup did a good job, but I recently got a scratch on my wide angle lens, lost an expernal filter, and basically got fed up with the bulk and weight of the total solution. I film in green water (British columbia).
I am considering building a new setup, based on the GoPro Black Edition, with the Backscatter Green Filter (when it is released), and some smaller LED lights (Sola's or possibly Archon's).
Before I take this step, I'm looking for some opinion on the video quality of the GoPro Hero 3 Black edition. The sensor used is the same size as the Sony, but a newer generation and higher resolution. The sony sensor was pretty good in low light conditions...
Are there any folks out there who changed from a recent Sony camera, to a GoPro and willing to tell about their experience? Was the video quality equal? Better? Worse?
thanks
