sunyata Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 that's the CEO with the camera in mouth. "At its current price, GoPro has a stock-market value of $4.7 billion. That’s roughly 35 times the 2015 profit estimate that underwriters settled on as the forecast. It’s about 3.1 times the 2015 sales estimate." http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/06/26/is-gopro-a-gadget-maker-a-lifestyle-brand-or-a-social-media-firm/ So currently the market is expecting an exponential growth in profits.. I have a feeling we're gonna see more new "lifestyle" video oriented cameras from the other companies soon. earnesync 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronChicago Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm tempted to pick up a GoPro. Tom Majerski did a comparison to the BMCC after using a "de-fisheye" plugin with a LUT. Looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tkman Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Keep shooting with the GH4 Aaron... I really enjoy your work! It's a fun camera and the next model is rumored to have a better frame rate for 4k. I noticed that the unit seems to be constructed well and thought-out. Their abilities with compression are also impressive. I noticed a 3D or dual mount was offered today, which had me thinking about a comment that Vincent Laforet made recently... he said that Japan and China consumers are really really into 3D.

leeys Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The profit margins on the GoPros are insane, apparently. Still they are the best I have seen from this type of camera - other action cameras usually have worse quality. Might want to see what the Hero 4 offers.

Brellivids Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Go Pro needs to expand into new territories if they plan to meet those revenue expectations. Offcourse the idea of any IPO and specially hyped up ones is not allways about the future prospect but it's often about how much will they be able to pull from the market with the IPO even tho the company might not be that valuable EVER. I expect the GoPro 4 to be about 4K as the number is fitting as well. The GoPro 5 will likely be about higher bitrates for 4K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
