Choosing a GoPro Digital Camera
When it comes to action cameras, GoPro is probably at the top of everyone's list. The average buyer might not consider purchasing a video camera to take still photos, but eBay sellers offer the one exception to that rule. The various Hero models take time-lapsed and offers clear pictures with its wide angle lens. In addition to recording a straight video, users can create a time-lapse movie by capturing a scene at preset intervals. Don't forget the many accessories from mountable cases to water protective cases that ensure you shoot the footage you want at the angle and view you need.
Who Would Like a Digital Action Camera for the Holidays?
With the holidays just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about presents. Whether it's a creative gift for yourself, a family member, or your best buds, don't give the same old Christmas gift everyone is giving, instead consider a digital action camera. It isn't just for recording action shots, but it takes vivid still photos for when the family gathers together at the holidays. Of course, since action shots are what the Hero is made for, it won't matter if little Jimmy won't stand still or if baby Jane starts crawling for the first time. Every precious memory is forever captured and saved in HD quality. When thinking about who would appreciate such an amazing present consider the following people.
- Skaters
- Snowboarders
- Motorbikers
- Cyclists
- Outdoors People
Of course, there probably isn't any type of person that wouldn't appreciate a video recorder and camera in one during the holidays. In fact, even those that don't consider themselves as "active" will enjoy being able to take photos of winter birds landing on snow covered trees in the front yard or one of the kids sledding down the hill for the first time this holiday season.
