Offended? I was worried I had offended YOU by implying that you needed luck to get a sunstar! goes to show the dangers of the written word. Morale of the story: this is a kick ass photo. (and I loved your full slide show as well!)

Yeah, when I asked how many attempts, I didn't mean the technical photography aspect of how to get a sunstar, I meant to get it placed where it is. Sweet shot!

So wait, let me get this straight - you slip, you die, that's pretty much it? Or does it just look worse than it is on camera?

Aside from the subjective matter of whether or not Gwin "did the right thing" here, from a legal point of view, a Letter of Intent is just that - a letter that describes intent. Clearly, Gwin intended to sign with TWR as stated in the Aug 13 release, but for whatever reason, did not do so. We can only speculate as to why that is, at this point. However, that clearly means there was no breach of CONTRACT here when he signed with Specialized (because there was no contract for 2013 and onwards in place between him and TWR). As...

@albe23, yes, there's little doubt that GoPro still have the edge in terms of image quality, case or no case. If they would indeed invest a little time in IS (BTW, the Sony has EIS, not OIS...minor point... ), they could really take their image quality to a whole new level. If Sony can fix some of their compression issues with a FW update, maybe they can get a bit closer.

What do you mean, "the case is detrimental to video"? This only occurs with UNDERWATER photography (and the GoPro does not have a flat lens either, unless you buy the specific dive case with a flat lens). In regular use, it's the compression of the video signal that's killing the image quality on the Sony, not the case.

Couple of points: all the sample video from the Sony was shot inside the waterproof case, the sound when using it by itself (outside the case) is a lot better of course. As for the video quality, I agree, the video you posted there seems to pick up more detail (it is obviously less compressed). I'd be interested in knowing the bit rate of the raw video files from the Nokia - do you have this info?

No, the lens is fixed, so it has to be mounted vertically. You can always mount it upside down, and flip the image in software later. As for mounting it on the side of the helmet, Sony sells a strap mount for it, to fix it on the goggles (which is probably going to be too shaky, based on previous experience), or you can look for any third party mounting hardware with a standard camera tripod interface.

what you guys probably don't realize is that CRC asked that the news and press release not go out until jan 1. the sites that posted the press release early cut the course which is super lame. i'm sure most of you don't really care, but Vital respects the wishes of CRC and we are playing by the rules and staying on the course. we'll have the press release up when it's "legal" along with some special Q&A.
