If I get another camera in the future it probably won't be a gopro. It will probably be a garmin or a contour. They make it easy to switch from record to off. Gopro has nice features like cameras, 10 second snapshots, and some other stuff, but I never use them. I mean the iphone does them way better.
How do you get 2.5 hours, I run mine at 720p video and it still dies before that. However, I also do a snapshot every 60sec along with the video, maybe thats the problem.
I usually do the camera only set to every 10sec when I'm out by myself. That way, I get a handful of decent shots of the scenery. The videos are usually so boring when there is no one else around.
