GoPro HERO 3 Low Light Test with GoPro HERO 2 and Sony HDR-AS15

In the video above we do a quick test to see how the GoPro HERO 3 Black Edition action camera performs in Low Light conditions when compared to the GoPro HERO 2 and the new Sony HDR-AS15 . We set up some items from around the studio to show image quality and overall performance in low light conditions. I used two softbox lights and gradually brought the light down until they were both completely off. The GoPro HERO 3 was shot in 2.7K resolution while the GoPro HERO 2 and the Sony HDR-AS15 were both shot at 1080p. From the footage, the Sony HDR-AS15 performed best in the lowest light. I do still think, however, that the GoPro HERO 3 Black Edition provides the most in terms of overall performance when taking into consideration the amount of money you pay for the unit.

  • Nice test, I’ve been thinking about buying the Hero 3 for a while now to film my students at the kickboxing gym.

    Just wondering, what is Larvets and Crickettes? … Funky breakfast?

      @Bjorn They’re a novelty haha.. I get them whenever I visit Hawaii. They actually don’t taste too bad. ;)

      • In Norway we use larves for fish bait.. I think I still will be using them purpose :p

        By the way, I like your pronunciation when you say Røde (considering microphones). The Ø in Norway is pronounced [ɜː], sounds the same when you say ie. bird, the i- turns into an Ø. The word in Norwegian means Reds as in plural for the color.

        Anyways, thanks for great review of geek stuff. The Zacuto VF just arrived and a Gini Rig Extreeme 17 is due to be delivered tomorrow by DHL :D
