Thanks for the heads up on the Replay XD cam. After surfing to learn more, I found it interesting most reviewers have the same opinion as you and frequently describe the GP as "junk".



So a few questions. What P and FPS were used to film the R4N flight? Are you able to operate the Replay XDs by remote? Will the Replay XD 1080 operate 64 MB microSD cards?



Thanks.

The replay is interesting... but given the number of beautiful, compelling videos and photos shot with GoPro cameras the "junk" comments say something about the "reviewers", yes?

In still photography we say: "Amateurs worry about equipment, pros worry about money, masters worry about light." I'm no master, but I'll prefer a great subject with great lighting to great equipment every time.

If the replay had a 170 degree fov mode, I'd be a lot more interested in it. That's what the GoPro cameras do best, distortion and all.
