Customers appreciate the HERO4 Silver HD Action Camera for its excellent video quality, user-friendly interface, and responsive touch screen. They also value its waterproof and shockproof design, which makes it suitable for various outdoor activities. However, some users have concerns about its battery life and the lack of a zoom feature. Additionally, a few customers find the price to be a bit high, but they acknowledge that the camera's features justify the cost.
All I can really do is echo other reviews I read with nothing but praise for this little marvel. The quality of the video is fantastic and the sound is pretty good, even in the case. Mine has mostly been mounted on a car windscreen, upside down, and the GoPro software flips the footage with the click of a button. The video works seamlessly with iMovie on my Mac, which I prefer to work with - mainly due to prior familiarity. It's not cheap, it really is memory hungry (get the biggest and fastest memory card you can afford!) and there are plenty of accessories for just about every use. My other recommendation is to buy a second battery and charger. Standard battery doesn't last all that long unplugged and it's useful to be charging one while using the other. Depends on what you want to use it for, but I certainly need it.

I bought this camera for a sled trip my wife and I took up north. It captured some amazing shots. I wish the battery would last longer in the cold but oh well. I bought the dual battery charger and that just so happens to come with an extra battery. I now use my GoPro on one of my model airplanes. It's a remarkably versatile little unit. I bought it online and it came with a 32GB SD card free. When I got to the store, my items were ready and quickly retrieved for me by a very friendly staff member. Thanks Best Buy for an easy transaction.

The camera itself is awesome. Takes great pictures and even better video. The lcd back display is very convient especially when seeing playback or adjusting the settings. It's also a good viewfinder so you don't guess what your filming or taking a picture of. The only down side is that the battery lasts about 1 1/2 hours. A 32 gb sd card will last you a little over 2 hours so buy accordingly. I bought a second battery and it's been working for me and my fishing videos. Also I'd carry a towel around if your going to be in water but not under. The casing doesn't wipe too well with microfiber. That being said the camera is my greatest investment. I use it on hikes with the wife and when I go kayaking. Even in the water tight case the sound comes through but don't touch it too much or it gets scratchy.
