Ive been doing some testing with the new GoPro2 HD video camera. I bought it out of necessity after loosing my GoPro HD in flight :( But, having the HD jump ship was a blessing in disguise, because the new GP2 boasts some impressive features.

While shooting in 1080P, you can choose 3 different field of view (fov) settings: Wide at 170, medium at 127, and narrow at 90. Heres a video I made testing the different fov settings on a Skywalker foam airplane.

The Gopro2 also shoots at 120fps for some pretty impressive slow motion footage. I usually drop the frame rate down to 24fps when doing slow motion footage. Heres a video testing the WVGA-120 setting.
