I have a load of GoPro kit I distribute with my new Scorpion lamps and will make up a torch on tripod mount.
One thing I find with these new cameras is a pitfall in the setup.
On the old S9600 there is a setting for "Quality" , the camera is 9 MP and the settings are marked in numbers up to "9M", so I knew what I was looking at. On the new ones its "Size" and in the guide it bangs about printing sizes, the 'hint' about what its really talking about is brief mention of the word "Quality". It was only after thinking about it that I realised what I was looking at. Setting it to "Large" for the full MP I still get hundreds of frames on the 32 gig SD card. On the Sony "L" is default setting, the XP was smaller.
I sometimes open a photo on my 24 inch computer screen and zoom in to some tiny detail, that is where it shows. I want to be able to see the detail not a lot of blurred squares.
I would say that looking at things overall, the Sony is a professional camera. Its is OK for snappers though, but has the features that somebody like me needs.
I will persevere with the XP, but even outdoors it is very fumbly. Its not until you handle something like the Sony you realise all this.
I am sorry if going off original thread.
