Alright, who at GoPro decided to “upgrade” the HD Hero 3’s outer case lens? Who decided to put a glass lens on an extreme action camera? Granted it’s a fairly significant 1/8″ thick, but it’s still glass. I kinda wondered about this when I first got it, I noticed the lens had an optical coating. Not something you saw on the older generation lenses.
I guess this has superior optical clarity, but all the anti-glare coating in the world doesn’t help when you get this!
Yes, I put it in a bad place, that was intentional. In retrospect it was a pretty extreme location as the polycarbonate case has a lot of dings now, but still I’m used to expecting these things to take a beating, that’s the whole point of these cameras, right?
