I haven’t seen this camera in action, but can say that from the reviews I read that people are happy with the video this camera captures as long as they know that this is an entry-level camera. The ATC3K doesn’t capture as good of video as the GoPro Hero and the audio isn’t as great either, but it is a good entry-level camera for the price. If you are serious about capturing some stellar video, I would go with the GoPro Hero HD for sure, but if you want to start dabbling in action video this camera will suffice.
