A GoPro camera is designed for the capturing footage of activities such as when cycling or canoeing. For this use it is one of the words leading cameras for sport. However for the type of filming you want to do i would advise againt this as it wont give the proffesional look you desire.
They're cheap for a reason and when something 'sounds too go to be true' it usually is. You're better off spending more money and buying less to get better quality footage. Look at my other blogs for ideas on a more realistic camera.
Producing a film using this camera then wanting it to be shown in an IMAX isnt a good idea either. Although it is possible as i am currently working for a film company who shot a film on small HD camera and have had a small showing at the BFI IMAX in Waterloo, the quality was very poor and didnt do justice to the film. It was more of an achievement to have our film shown in the biggest cinema in the UK then it was for promotion.
So, if you want to make a feature for IMAX; definitely shoot on a more expensive, proffesional, current camera.
