    Amazing that GoPro finally has the display screen ! Makes it much easier to use than the old GoPro Hero 3. And the image is crystal clear. I debated upgrading, but I'm so glad I did!

    I take this camera everywhere. I used it under water in Brumuda. And in pools. It's totally waterproof and has long battery life. It really is a good investment

    Love the camera, editing software difficult to download and use, about gave it a 3 star just because the software experience is so bad, especially if you are trying to download to a Microsoft platform. It may be better on Apple, but that's not what I use, couldn't they do better?

    This was a Christmas gift fo my 19 year old son. He bought a motorcycle and mounted this on his helmet. Since he mounted it on the chin of his helmet he had to figure out how to invert the picture. His first ride with the Hero5 is all upside down.(oops) Great camera, he loves it.

    The new GoPro is pretty amazing. Love the new functions and easy to sync with your phone, which can be used as a control. More to come after I play with this on my next few trips...

    I haven't used it that much, but it takes really quality video. I might have to update this review later. BTW, download the app for GoPro. It really helps a lot.

    Went snorkeling in St. John and having the GoPro with me was amazing. I was able to capture the coolest shots underwater and make an awesome video that was of the utmost quality.

    As for my first camera it is just great, I am an 'average' user as far as I don't dive or do extreme activities other that just outdoor tourism... And for this it is just great.

    Being older, I wish they gave a complete instruction manual. Its easier for me to operate when showing the steps. The sale price made it more affordable or I may not have purchased it. Wanted to take videos of the grand kids. It's a nice small camera with awesome pictures.

    I love the picture and video quality also there are tons of easy to use features with the touchscreen. Only issue I have with it is the pairing with the Capture app. There are definitely some bugs to work out since I don't like to lug my laptop around in order to view/edit/post.
