The simply named Sport Camera boasts a few eye-opening stats: It’s very lightweight, at 86 grams (Garmin’s Virb Elite is 177 grams and the GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition is 136 grams). It also has a very large 16MP backlit CMOS sensor. That matches the Garmin and is larger than the largest 12MP GoPro. You probably know that pixel count alone isn’t a good metric of image quality; you can pack more pixels into a small sensor and (gross generalization here) often not get superior light capture. So it should be said that the Shimano’s sensor size may simply be the same dimensions (1/2.3″) as the Garmin’s and the GoPro’s — yes, the GoPro has the same size sensor as the Garmin, just a lower pixel count. We do know this much: The f/2.0 lens of the Shimano is very bright, allowing in much more light than the Hero 3+ Black Edition’s f/2.8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
