Hero2 on the motorway at DVinfo.net

Hi All,

I am planning to shoot a convoy of wedding cars on a 45 minute motorway journey and then incorporate the video with the wedding video. I currently shoot everything on my 5DMK3 and 1080p 25fps and I see the go pro does the same. My only concern is the slow motion, do I need to shoot at a lower resolution and at a higher frame rate to get better slow motion?

I shoot at 720p 50fps and then use that footage with my 1080p blu-ray discs which I give to clients, will the quality difference be noticeable as I would have to upscale that section of the video.

Tariq.
Simply shoot some footage with both cameras yourself, and see if you are happy with the match. There will obviously be a fair difference in the quality between the 2 cameras, but in daylight/good light you should get away with it. Shoot at 25
