    I have been skeptical to buy a GoPro since they first came out. I have to say that I love the 8, very user friendly and great photos. I haven’t mess around with it a lot. But I love the time lapse setting. I wish the bundle would come with a bigger micro sd but other than that really no complaint.

    My grandson loves this! It got dropped about a week after I bought it, and he didn't know the screen was cracked when he dove into a river. Thankfully, I bought the Geed Squad protection. There was no hassle at all in getting a replacement.

    I've had GoPro's going back to the 3, and they continued to improve right up to the release of the 7 Black. So many positives, but even that one I returned because of the menu system. The 8 Black is a much improved menu, but I was heart broken when I got it home and found out the fixed the lens? My camera's are helmet mounted, wing mounted on a King Air, handlebar mounted for Trials, and cage mounted on a CanAm Maverick 1000R. So if I don't spend more on lens covers, or a case, I throw it away the same day I buy it because I scratch the lens? The Gopro Skydive Team was out at Erda UT doing some jumps last year and they were pumping the upcoming Hero 8, I can only imagine their disappointment. Ps. the Gopro Team is the coolest bunch of guys they themselves know. It will work well for most, but if you're going to beat it up get a case at most, or glass screen covers at the least. I can't say for sure, but my image quality on the 7 Black looks better than the 8 Black at 1080p. When I took it back today I picked up the OSMO Action (I will provide a separate review).

    I hated switching batteries / cards on the Hero 7. It was such a hassle to undo the shell and remove the camera first. This GoPro is a world of difference in that is has shedded the frustrating shell! this means quicker swaps and more filming!
