I have like 60 bucks of amazon gift card that i never used, and ive been thinking about buying a gopro for a while. After the new one came out, the GoPro 1 has gone down to $209 on amazon and with my gift card it will be like 150. However, the GoPro 2 will end up being $240 with my card. Are the new features worth the extra $90? +k for answers
 
wrong. 120 fps is pointless on the gopro 2 (only in 480p).

The gopro2 has a way nicer lens and sensor, it gives off a way better image than the original gopro, which in my opinion is worth the extra 90
 
At first I wasn't too sure about the GoPro 2, but lately I've been thinking it's actually worth the difference, though I'll probably won't pick one up till the GoPro 3 drops.
 
Besides the much better image quality, and better low light performance, you get file streaming. So if you get the wifi backpack once its available, you can stream files to an Ipod touch or Iphone, or whatever the heck you want, so you can use said device as a veiwfinder to fiddle with mounts, and also review footage on the way up the lift without ruining your GoPro battery life.
 
Forgot to mention, this also backs up your files immediately, so if you lose your camera, or your SD card fucks up, you still have your footage.
 
^Just summed it all up, i like the feature of it having better low light quality... especially for night skiing :P
 
It won't work for night skiing. It has a V/lux-sec of .84 I believe, and for night video, you really need something like .25 or less. But it will make overcast snow storm days good. Or if you are skiing with a bright ass headlamp, you might be able to pull it off.
