It's the user data selling I would be concerned about. They are obviously getting another revenue stream from people that can afford 30k cameras. Which is a godamn goldmine for data sets.

Maybe it's that this thread is about specialist hardware that the commenters are unusually naive about how companies can use telemetry? I've seen it repeatedly argued as with GP that stealing footage is impractical therefore the consumer has no valid concerns, here.

Why ruin a perfectly good argument in two paragraphs by poisoning the well in the third?
Stealing a single picture out of a 60fps camera for no particular purpose won't put money in their back pocket. Building a 3g modem into a camera and paying cellular data fees to occasionally snoop into their users' memory cards won't earn them a penny.
The only people whom I could understand being rightfully paranoid about this are either making embarrassing fetish pornography or videotaping illegal acts for money.
