I’ve done an ass load of research into both cameras and i have used both. The GoPro is a far superior camera, the contro uses micro sd and the writing speed is terible… If you have a class 10 sd in the go pro it takes like 10 pics in a couple of seconds. which is crazy.

also the anti shake is WAY better in the GoPro. If you are worried about looking like a tool get a pole/wrist mount.

while it’s true you look stupid with a gopro on your head, everyone has one, even the pros, and now I don’t think anything when I see someone with one on their head.

Thanks for that. Im looking at picking a go pro up for my trip to French Polynesia. It seems like a no brainer as we need somethng for when we are in the water taking happy snaps whilst diving/snorkeling, doing the island jetski and ATV land tour.
