Some customer reviews of GoPro HD Hero 2 (Outdoor Edition)

Most helpful reviews

Anastasios, Athens Keen amateur

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Couldn't believe how small and practical it is.For the time that I want to record, the 2 hours endurance battery is fair enough. The outdoor edition wasn't quite what I wanted, I would prefer the Motorsport edition, although it had many parts to use in order to record.
Bad points:: The users guide was somehow poor since the features of the camera are so many that you wonder what each thing does! An editing program would be a nice addition...

If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
