I ordered a Gopro for filming non-sports stuff, as a small rugged and unobtrusive camera. But the low-light abilities are not as good (but i didn't expect any miracles), i think even my old SD-only 3CCD camcorder can beat the quality of this 720P recording at night.
if your camera don't take pictures like this, send it back. The camera does take very nice low light video, considering this is a CHEAP camera. However, a $5,000 Canon was compaired to GoPro and this little cam beat that one hands down.
So much for these semi-pro camcorders. I have one of those and many other models of camcorders, but I have to say am shocked the quality of these GoPros.
really wierd i bought a goPro HD last week and testet it while driving at night like u did, i was really looking forward to see the video but there was ...nothing ... totally black couldn´t anything ... even in my room at home with lights turned on it´s really dark and fragmented...any suggestions or advice ?
@Sn00pX I know what you mean.. Even indoors with lights on it looks terrible I agree. Hey I just read in the manual that you can adjust the camera for darker areas. Just go to their website and look for the manual, you can download it. I'm going to try the same, other than the darkness issue.... my gopro is freaking amazing!!!
For being such a small camera, i can't imagine it has a large sensor... So naturally the lowlight video is going to be eh... Thats not what this camera is really for though, and it can do some things that not much else can.
@phillow the camera is the best you could possibly buy for any sport or high speed hobby you could think of, the worst part of it is shown in the video and it really isn't that bad which is darkness. another great thing is if your a clutz like me u dont hav to worry its waterproof and pretty hard to bust in its little case
@sk82live0019 Thank you for your answer. I bought the cam last week and made some test-shots. Don't know whether i want to keep it or give it back. The small camera got a lot of pro's and con's....but the quality in darkness or even in a normal room with light on haven't convinced me yet.
@MrLukasDiSparrow you are even dumber than i tell people....in the description it says he shot it at 720p...not 1080p not even 960p...he used the lowest video quality...watch my go pro videos and shut up!
Nice video, that´s exactly what i plan to do with mine when i get one, just a question, where you using the protection case? The image looks pretty good and I was wondering whether you used it or not. Thanks
For clear HD underwater videos, the GoPro HD does not support this. You will need to purchase a Vholdr Contour HD with the H20V underwater lens. This allows you clear and focused shots underwater. You can find the H20V underwater case at GMSconcepts "dot" com
I did a few night shots and I don't think it's the cam's high point. Looks a bit better on a car then a motorcycle IMO. Although the area I took some nightshots did not have street lamps.

@ash2567jpjp Should use 30fps in low light, gives it more time to take in light for each frame

@obtrunco I know this is 9 months old, but these cameras do REALLY bad at night, they aren't very good at night at all
I used mine when the sun was setting, and it was pixelated as fuck
