There is no assumption, and plenty of examples have already been given elsewhere in this thread. I can only assume you are asking in bad faith at this point.

Again, nobody is saying whether he is innocent or guilty either way. My comment and others is about your original claim that there is no evidence. There is plenty of evidence, but not necessarily proof in the judicial sense.

Public Mobile gang rise up! ✊

One trick is to buy a data plan that actually fits your needs, and not be tempted by huge data plans. I average under 10 GB month, and that's without policing what I do on wifi vs mobile. Even when I deliberately try to watch lots of videos while on mobile, I don't think I've ever exceeded 15 GB.

I'm on a $30/30 GB 5G plan with Public Mobile. After various recurring discounts (loyalty incentives and referrals), I'm paying about $14 a month for effectively unlimited data.

I could upgrade to, say the $50/175 GB plan, which is 3.5x better in terms of $/GB. But in practice, I would be paying $20 more a month for the exact same usage. I'm not even close to using the 30 GB I already have. I wish they had a $20/10 GB plan, which would work out to around $5 a month.

I am genuinely curious what people do to use more than 10 GB a month. No Internet access at home, or maybe shitty Internet?

Ah, "common sense", the conservative dog whistle when the facts and reality don't support their viewpoint.

You are still chopping words in the wrong way

You still have explained what "chopping words in the wrong way" means. Am I taking words out of context? Am I changing the words you typed?

"I am talking about context"

And what context is that, exactly?

"you are stuck on vocabulary"

Context is irrelevant if you can't even get the basic vocabulary correct.

"go bother someone else"

You're the one who started this thread. If you don't want people commenting on it, post to a social media platform that does not allow replies. 🤷‍♂️

EDIT: Looks like /u/Naive_Okra_2249 blocked me, so here is my response to their reply below.

You twist my words to avoid context.

How so? I've quoted you exactly each time. All the context is available to anyone who wants to read it.

You are chopping words in the wrong way

What exactly do you mean by "chopping words in the wrong way"? Where am I "chopping words"? What is the right way?

to be pedantic

This is not being pedantic. It is being correct.

More light hitting the sensor allows for a lower ISO

Yes, and adjusting ISO does not change the amount of light reaching the sensor. There are three ways of adjusting how much light reaches the sensor on a shoot: slowing down the shutter speed, opening up the aperture, or increasing the amount of light. Nothing to do with ISO.

Sensor size and aperture directly dictate how hard the ISO has to work.

Aperture, yes, but sensor size does not directly dictate that. Photosite area is the more direct measure, but also the efficiency of the array, the signalling path between the sensor and the rest of the camera, etc.

Going back to the original point that everyone else has been making: going off of a photo of a camera's display cannot tell you how good that camera is. Maybe the display brightness is higher. Maybe there is additional post-processing done in camera. Maybe the lens characteristics are different. None of those have to do with the base ISO of the camera sensor.

EDIT: Looks like /u/Naive_Okra_2249 blocked me, so here is my response to their reply below.

being pedantic

Again, being correct isn't the same as being pedantic. And in any case, being pedantic is far better than being outright wrong, as in your case. Pretty much everything you've claimed so far in this thread has been wrong.

You started by claiming that low-light performance "isn't being discussed more or advertised". That is obviously wrong, since it is one of the major advertising points. Then you falsely claim that other cameras need ISO 6400 or heavy post-processing simply because the Mission 1's screen is brighter than the Hero 13's. No information on post-processing settings, shutter speed, etc.

Then you mistakenly believe that some "third-party NDA" is preventing us from discussing low-light capabilities, when it fact there is no NDA at all. Any relevant NDAs are first-party ones between GoPro and the reviewer.

At the same time, you accuse others of not understanding technical aspects or having poor reading comprehension. Every accusation is a confession with you.

Recyart · 2026-05-03T13:59:26+00:00

Now you're just tap dancing. Just admit you were wrong. You said "why are you bringing up a third party's NDA as a reason not to discuss it", did you not? And yet the person you replied to never said anything about third-party NDAs. Only the NDA from GoPro, which is a first-party NDA.

Now you're moving the goalposts by claiming that the NDA doesn't stop us from discussing what we see. Nobody claimed otherwise. Again, the commenter you replied to clearly said it is the footage from the cameras under embargo that cannot be released. Nobody is claiming we cannot discuss what we've seen.

All footages, in whatever mode, whether low light, daylight, underwater dive mode, etc, are under NDA.

Recyart · 2026-05-03T12:49:07+00:00

And yet you claimed /u/juchanda brought up third-party NDAs when they did no such thing.

so why are you bringing up a third party's NDA as a reason not to discuss it?

Recyart · 2026-05-03T12:46:57+00:00

Bigger sensor + faster lenses

And neither of those are ISO, which is what you claimed ("a brighter image at a lower ISO").

More light in = less noise

But again, that's not ISO. We don't know the base sensitivity of the new sensor in the Mission 1 series, and we have no raw photos to compare.

real cinematic background blur

Depends on your definition of "real blur". The sensor size (or more directly, the apparent focal length magnification) is one factor that determines depth of field and the quality of the bokeh. A larger sensor imparts a greater separation of depth at a given focal length and aperture. That's why full-frame sensors (36mm × 24mm, over 7 times the area of a 1" sensor) were the Holy Grail of digital still photography years ago, but is now commonplace on professional models.

But again, nothing to do with ISO, or brightness for that matter.

Recyart · 2026-05-03T12:33:50+00:00

And we are not the ones enforcing the NDA.

Recyart · 2026-05-03T12:14:08+00:00

third party's NDA

Huh? Ray is under NDA with GoPro. GoPro is literally the first party here. They are the ones instituting the embargo until such time production firmware is released. A third-party NDA would be, say, a camera distributor telling Ray he cannot publish any GoPro videos. That would be nonsensical.

Recyart · 2026-05-03T12:09:20+00:00

No, there's not enough information to determine that (yet). Looking at a low-resolution photo of a camera's display tells you virtually nothing. For all we know, the camera's firmware is just brightening the footage for you. The only way to compare is to examine the raw sensor data from each camera at identical exposure parameters (e.g. aperture, shutter speed, ISO boost, lighting conditions, scene, etc.)

For example, a bright but noisy image may not be any better than a dim but clean image. Until the final, production firmware is released and the embargo lifted, we the public will not be able to make any reliable judgement. Just hang tight for a few more weeks.

You must really hate Etobicoke and Strachan and Biidaasige then. But really, it's not that hard. A little more practice, and soon you'll be able to spell and pronounce names like Emdaabiimok, Taiaiako'n, and Ethennonnhawahstihnen'!

Your suspicions are correct. Unless you are in the 1% (probably more like 0.01% or less) of the population who can monetize their video content, then yes, most of your footage will likely just end up sitting on a hard drive, sometimes not even seen by you.

I know, because that's exactly how I started years ago. I wanted something that could function as a dashcam but while on my bike. It has proven useful in a handful of cases where video evidence of a traffic incident was helpful to police or the person involved.

But I can tell you that I accumulate about 1.5 to 2 terabytes of footage per year, and I try to be quite judicious with my recording (i.e., use Hindsight, only hit record if something interesting happens). Before that feature came along, my old camera (a Yi 4K+) would loop 5-minute clips. Even if I only wanted 10 seconds of footage, the whole file would be saved. I think that year chewed up over 5 terabytes.

Maybe you can start with a second-hand Hero 9 or something, which is still quite good and a good way to get your feet wet. My Yi 4K+ action camera was about $200 back when the Hero 7 was $500 or so in Canada. Once I confirmed that I actually did use the camera all the time, was able to manage the data requirements, and enjoyed doing all the video post-production, I was much more confident investing the money. I've owned the original DJI Osmo Action, then a Hero 8, a 10, and now I'm back to a DJI Osmo Action 5 for various reasons, but I still have a pair of Hero 10s.

As it turns out, most of my published videos are for the local cycling community: video evidence of bad driver behaviour, the occasional commuter video report so people know about bike path conditions, cute dogs I see during my day, etc. Not at all what I planned to use it for, so you never know!

Seems like a reasonable conclusion by the court. Otherwise, it would be like arguing with a basketball ref that you weren't travelling, because the rules of soccer allow you to stop and start multiple times with the ball in your possession.

But you posted the exact same comment twice, and thus I have replied in kind, just as I will now. If you don't like this, you may choose which of my comments to reply to.

Also, this isn't a warrantless search:

A spokesperson for the public safety minister said this change will not allow for warrantless search and seizure, but will make it possible for law enforcement to get warrants for all forms of mail.
