What Is Better 1080 60fps Or 720 60fps With A Hour More To Record?

[JamesBrown]

im thinking of switching to 720 60fps from 1080 60fps only because i get a hour more to record. from what i can tell i think it will be worth it only because i cant tell a difference between them. what do you all think?

1080 at 60 - for those who have the means, it's a nice thing to see ... and just wait for down the road when everything ups in resolution ~_~ . By then, 720p will seem like what SDTV is to us now .....

will your battery last?

I record on 720 60... Purely because i cant see the difference between that and 1080 60

yeah i got a way where my motorcycle charges my gopro and batteries wont die. i can record as long as i ride and will never die. i just made a video on it because no one else has thought of it as far as i can see.

If you don't have a 1080 display, you won't be able to see the difference between 720 and 1080...

I just bought a Wasabi Power battery bacpac for my Hero 3+ and from what I can tell, it has tripled the battery life. The GoPro bacpac doubles the life at best.

With more people watching on their telly with things like Apple TV I think the 1080 is worth it. I have an older macbook so don't notice much of a difference 720 vs 1080 until I watch on the big screen. Plus you're future-proofing your content to a certain extent. Just look back to anything posted on YouTube prior to say 2010 to see what I mean.

Shoot at the best quality that you can with the equipment you can afford. Content is king though, so if you're running outta space all the time and can't get a bigger sdcard yet, then scale down to 720p 60fps IMO. It's the moments you catch that make the videos.

The best quality. I started out uploading in 720p due to bandwidth issues. But somewhere I decided to upload in 1080p and never looked back. It looks so much nicer! I upload in 1080p30 for my regular vlogs, but the last two Cars & Coffee videos have been uploaded in 1080p60, and it's silky smooth if your player supports it.

I'm in the same boat...either 1080p30fps or 720p60fps. Don't know which one is better.

I've just opened the door to 1080/60 fps and I won't be looking back! I'd rather carry more memory and catch the good stuff in as high a quality as I possibly can than not use the full capabilities of my equipment.

Why get a 3 piece Armani suit and leave the waistcoat in the wardrobe!?
