    Having researched all the GoPros and read the reviews, bought the HERO4 Session HD Waterproof Action Camera for our daughter's birthday. Great product - decent price and she loves it, takes it everywhere, from hiking to the beach or just playing with the dog.

    Perfect GoPro for starters, low price, easily mountable, and not a lot of extras required to get out there and have fun!

    Don't recommend camera or Bestbuy

    Bought this camera for my daughter's graduation because she was going on a month long trip and has always wanted a GoPro. We read reviews and thought this would be an easy to use camera. It is simple - only two buttons. Be prepared to use the app with your phone if you want to take pictures without video. Two weeks in to the trip it stopped working. Tried email support from GoPro and new microSD, still didn't work. When I ordered it online, it said it came with free MicroSD card. When I got the confirmation, I was charged for the card. Emailed customer service and never got a response. Since she was leaving I just let that go. After her trip I tried to return the camera to BestBuy and was told the couldn't help me because it was past the 15 day return limit. Now I'm dealing with GoPro on trying to get it fixed / replaced. Summary: aggravating camera to use, poor customer service from GoPro, and BestBuy did nothing to set them self apart from all the other retailers selling GoPro.

    I should have read the specs before buying (Weight - 14.304 pounds). These guys at Best Buy really know their stuff. A 1.75" cube filled with real American steel!!!!! It is like a Neutron star in your hand......

    So, this is the Polaroid Cube for Twice the Price?

    I own a Polaroid Cube, and was shown the Session recently. I found the two indistinguishable, with the exception of the price. You can buy almost 3 Polaroid Cubes for one Hero 4 Session.
