    I think they're great while they're working, but I have returned a model every year in hopes of getting one they finally got right.

    It's a good product......just not for me. I found it a little hard to get it to work right. I am sure if I took my time then I wouldn't have had a problem. But for the high price point I will stick with my cell. There are holders for cells to record like a GoPro. I will admit the GoPro is built rugged. Hard to damge this tiny beast.

    I bought this camera to use on our trip to Antigua. Unfortunately the camera did not perform well at all. After 5 or 10 minutes of use the camera would overheat , change shooting modes all on it's own and finally the controls froze. I would have to press the power on/off button in until the unit shut down. After about 10 minutes the camera would have cooled down enough to turn back on. Not only did the camera overheat while in use, it would also overheat while being charged. I would not recommend this camera at all.

    The Hero 8 is great in the beginning, until it wouldn’t turn on the day I needed it! I took it to vacation with us to take some shots while snorkeling, but the unit wouldn’t turn on even with multiple reset attempts. I’ll return/exchange it when I get home!

    Fell apart before I even used it. First time opening it, and the hinges broke off. Now I am afraid to use it at all. Also, for all that money - they do not give you an SD memory card.

    I bought the camera to use on my vacation, and when I tried to turn it on for the first time it didn't work, I followed the steps indicated on the GoPro website and it didn't work either.

    Love how durable this little guy is. Accidentally dropped down the mountainside of Makapu'u and it managed to survive such a dangerous tumble.

    Go pro 8 wasnt very reliable for me, camera shuts off and only works when plugged in to power. Best buy was great service in their store though.
