This set up blows them out of the water. I have been using the Sony cameras since the as 30 first ame out and it was better than the go pro's. A friend of mine owns several Go pros and I used to Sony cameras to record our fishing tournements, he agrees they are better. Better sound, low light capability, control from the smart phone of all the functions if you dont have the remote. This is the first time I have used the remote and I like it so far. Will have to test it once I get back out on the water. These are less expensive and better is every way.

Very big difference. If you have the money buy the black edition. Better Lens, more speed and capacity. Here is a chart that explains the differences. http://gopro.com/product-comparison-hero3-cameras

I have used my camera for a bit of indoor shooting (filming industrial equipment for mechanical disgnosis), and the camera seems to work fine with normal indoor lighting. Based on my experience with the GoPro, the image quality is as good or better.

Depends on what you are loking for. If you only want to record what you can see without worring to loose the gopro the mask is your option, but if you want to record or take picture of especifics animals or sightings the pole is your option.

i wouldn't know. never used the GoPro. i can say that it compares rather well to my pentax K10D, which has interchangeable lenses and a much larger sensor. i think that the TG-1 can give me 90% of the picture quality for 10% of the weight, size, and hassle. if you want video, then get a video camera. if you want stills, then this will do.

I like the graphics on the Garmin better and it seems to respond faster than the the Tomtom. I like the display for the Points of Interest better on the Garmin as well. I gave my daughter the Garmin and I have the Tomtom but I am thinking about returning it and getting the Garmin 255w

i wouldnt bother. it looks cool, but I found it just wasnt worth the trouble. look at the gopro models instead.

can't compare to garmin as I have never used one but I am very happy with it. It is considered as accurate as any other.

I looked at the Go Pro but the Intova appears to be better for underwater video, which was my primary requirement.

Great fit, I have both, the Frameless one seems to fit a little better, with the added weight of the GoPro the Framed one bumps my nose a little during quick moments.

This camera takes amazing pictures for a "mostly auto" handheld. It is not a DSLR, of course, but pictures are very good. It is 12MP and has a great sensor and lens, the go pro is 5MP and has a cheaper sensor.The go-pro is not much of a camera for stills in my opinion because they are always fishbowl view because of the wide angle lens. The newer go pro may be better because it has a few settings for 90, 120, and 160 degrees or something like that. Still, small cheap sensor/lens, no flash, not a great image processor in the go pro.

The fenix 2 pretty much does what the forerunner does plus more. For me, looks better than the Suunto Ambit 2, although they are pretty much the same watch. As a fitness watch garmin does a better job of cataloging your workouts and displaying in various formats. Paired with the HRM it's definitely the way to go.

YAAAAAAS!!!!.... Actually I brought it specifically for my GoPro. And can tell you it tally worth it. And the difences between plus and extreme, I guess it's just the speed, if you're not worried about that it'll work just fine. :)

I think so. I went back and forth on this and the go pro. Intova had the gadgets I wanted. My favorite is that I can mount it on my SUP and one man canoe. Has sound. Or not. Takes pics. Video is good. Easy to edit. Long battery life. Buttons are a little hard to press. And I think the newer one has a remote. Which I I wish mine had.

I've not lost any recordings. I have no complaints. It's no GoPro, but I love it anyway!

Most definitely work on gopro hero. I found that when using the Extreme PLUS, the quality of my images were better and transfer rate for movies and images were faster. Though, not a very significant difference. Depends on what you can afford.

I have a GoPro hero plus black. It just pushes on and has a string teather so you won't loose it
