I always wanted a gopro and am a huge online shopaholic. I will search for weeks before buying something. I was looking at the gopro hero 3+black edition. Well, I came across Sonys version, HDR as 100v. Thing is awesome!!! Found mine on Amazon as a daily deal for 150 bucks! It tracks your route via built in GPS. It then displays your route and speed on screen when you upload it. I am uploading one now and will post it later.
 
Alright so YouTube takes a while to process. You can now select 1080p in the settings.
 
WOW!! I like that. The stats & map are great. Too bad I already bought a GoPro for twice the dollars.
 
OK.. Since I'm into Video and Editing, I have to ask..
Is the OSD part of the camera?
Looks like only the speed is calculated.
Or is that something you added to the video via your cell phone's GPS tracking?
 
The GPS and overlay are part of Sony's software. Essentially you upload your video to your computer and it merges the two. VERY cool! And the battery life is great! You could go on a very long ride (several hours I suppose) on a single charge.
 
And the battery life is great!
Does it allow for an external power source while in use?
Some cams only give you the USB charge option, not USB external power supply.
