kye Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 ...and when I say on the forefront, what I mean is they haven't implemented FHD 60p yet. Someone please tell me I somehow got this wrong? Seriously, there has to be something else to this.. really. Snowbro and kaylee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm surprised they even are releasing action cams anymore. But people will buy stuff that has the name "Canon" on it. I doubt any of us will see one being used out in the wild, but I feel like these things are probably so cheap to produce that they still make Canon money and ultimately that's what they care about.

If you take a GoPro and extrapolate from there, these had better be closer to $20 than $99. It's like Leica or RED making an action camera!

Yep, it seems like it’s an activity camera more than an action camera. At the right price, they will sell a boatload of these. I may even buy one.

Not everything has to be for dudes in Oakleys I really think Peter Gregg hit the nail on the head in his Canon RP video when he said that the general idea online is that "every camera must be made for ME!". So true when browsing forums. kye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, good point.. that makes sense. Action cameras are really a poor fit for home photography for most people so this is more an alternative to the tough/rugged point-n-shoots. In that case there's a gap in the lower end of the market for a smartphone camera in a rugged and waterproof case that's not several hundred dollars. Of course, if Canon are competing with smartphones, going from 4K60 and 1080p240 to 1080p30 sure is a come-down!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you're right that there is a more domestic (less action) market that wouldn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I believe in the pamphlet, it specifically states these cameras are for children and male hobbyists with cats on their back. webrunner5 and kye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kye Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Im confused, is it "backpacking cats" or "back packing cats"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
