Amazing camera, despite the color glitch.

I bought this for getting action footage as well as filmmaking. I like that the field of view is adjustable (Super Wide, Wide, Medium, Narrow) so you don't always have to use the "fisheye" looking wide effect. (which is great for action footage, but not so much if you're trying to shoot a "flatter" shot to cut into footage from other cameras.) When i'm not filming action footage, I like to use the Medium and Narrow fields of view because it looks like a "normal" lens with a natural field of view. This camera produces a very stable image with hardly any noticeable "jello" effect. I was impressed at how smooth the footage is even in rough and shaky conditions. The built-in touch screen is an essential asset in this camera, which enables you to frame your shots and quickly change camera settings with ease. It is also durable. I accidentally dropped it on concrete from about 8 feet up (with the case on it). It got a couple dings but was still good to go. I like that you can change the framerate, and that it has enhanced settings for low-light conditions. The Pro Tune setting is also great for custom light and picture settings. The resolution/framerate options are also satisfactory. One bad thing about this camera (and even earlier GoPro models apparently) is that some models have a color glitch that is said to be common among all GoPro models. The screen gets these purple and green hues randomly in your footage which makes it unuseable. I am in the process of receiving my replacement GoPro after sending in the defective unit. It was a fairly smooth process. All in all it is an amazing and versatile camera. It blows other action cameras out of the water. It is just far superior to any action camera in its class. For batteries and storage, I suggest at least two backup batteries and a charger (i got Wasabi brand, which work fine) and at least one SanDisk Extreme 64GB micro SDHC card or equivalent.Read full review
