The consumer is also free to let the manufacturer know of the consumer's desires through reviews and buying decisions.

Contrast the above with the Go-Pro website "Hollywood in your hand"

I give! You guys are right - I don't know what the hell I was thinking. We shouldn't have any expectations of being able to use a video camera to capture sharp, clear footage, from any ride, and we definitely shouldn't expect to easily access and share said footage.
Here’s what’s new for the Varia RCT715:
- Built-in camera: Capture sharp, clear footage at up to 1080p/30 fps during any ride.
- Automatic incident capture: If an incident is detected, video footage from before, during and after the event will automatically be saved.
- Additional Varia app functionality: Easily access video footage, transfer videos or customize camera settings, such as data overlays.
