    The camera is amazing for the price. The quality of image is clear like you would imagine since its GoPro. My job can be very confrontational so as soon as I see someone that isn't happy come to me I just push the record button and instantly it records. When I'm done I just push the same button and it turns off so the battery life is great no doubt about it. It's a great all around.

    I love the day time recording on this unit, but the night time is awful. It was extremely grainy and blurry.

    I use the wifi on the camera with the go pro app on my iphone 6. I use the app for realtime viewing. It doesn't display in HD and it freezes from time to time and doesn't seem to have the range that it says it does, when I go out about 30 feet, it starts to freeze and cut out. It states that it doesn't warranty the realtime display on the app, and now I know why. The camera is great, as long as your using it to record to the memory card. This is why I gave 3 stars.

    This product is a good idea, and it is a nice idea that GoPro went out of the box to design a model that didn't require the housing, but I feel it restricts you from so much. It is only waterproof up to 31 feet and therefore if you scuba dive etc., it really limits you, and you aren't able to use most accessories that are for the other standard models. Overall the photo and video quaily is spotty and hard to adjust settings. Save your money and buy nicer version.

    Although it doesn't have some of the abilities of it's big brothers the GoPro Session is still a great little camera. I am able to mount it in areas that other cameras are too large to fit. Despite what the critics say that it lacks some punch in it's overall picture quality and color I am able to enhance nicely in post-production software and the video looks great.

    Go pro camera works great. Bought eight of them for grooms gifts. Only issue was Best Buy apparently has policy that you can't buy more than 4 at a time with out setting up a commercial account. Which was a complete pain in the rear. But camera is great. Corporate policies are the issue here

    I bought the session because I couldn't get myself to spend the cash on the hero 4. I have to say I don't regret it at all. Without having a waterproof housing encapsulating the camera, it allowed for cleaner audio and much more ease of use. If you're on a Budget and can't afford the hero 4 or now hero 5 the session line is a great option.
