    The fact that you can buy a camera that can shoot in 4k for under $500 is already a bargain in and of itself. Add in the fact that, at least currently, if you buy it thru Best Buy you get a free $60 gift card, it's a pretty solid deal.

    This is a great camera if you are hiking or on any trip. The only down size is that all the gear and case is not as compact. Wish they would have something that is not just a bulky hard case to hold camera and all added accessories. Otherwise really a fun way to record trips without worrying about damage to phone.

    I had the Hero3 and upgraded to this bad boy right before our last vacation. So glad I did because items in the distance were always out of focus on the Hero3 and being able to see every detail, makes this purchase totally worth it.

    Still a very small sensor giving a lot of noise and fisheye distortion. 4K video is terrible fisheye and not much use. HD Linear is the better mode. The touch screen is easier to use. If you have a 4 already not sure if upgrade is worth it. I've owned a dozen GoPro since original version.

    I originally purchased the Sony action cam but ended up returning it because of the over contrast in a lot of my videos, plus recording blindly really sucked. Purchased this GoPro and I must say, go pro really lives up to there name

    This Gopro is great. I like it better than my Hero3+ which i still love. This camera is so awesome I couldn't give less than five stars though the battery door and lens cover is extremely difficult to open compared to my Hero3.

    I bought this to replace my bulky underwater camera and it's working great. Took some time to learn all the features, but worth it. Their customer service was also very helpful.
