" ... the camera came fast and as described with various mounts and everything else needed to get started except the sd card. ... "
" ... The second concern is I think you need to work on making the micro sd card slot a little more user friendly. ... "
" ... I forgot I needed to order a micro sd card, so I just used an extra one. ... "
" ... I haven't had the chance to really test it out fully because I'm still waiting on some SD cards to arrive, but it looks to be pretty decent quality. ... I'll update this review once I get some SD cards and am able to test the video quality, but so far I'd say it's definitely a worthwhile purchase. ... "
" ... and in order to view the videos we needed another memory card for my husband's phone. ... "

" ... Image stabilization doesn’t seem to be that effective but again, for the price point, it’s not bad. ... "
" ... The zoom could be better along with picture quality other than that it's amazing there so much you can do with it. ... "

" ... The wide angle lens of the camera lets me capture so much more than my old waterproof camera. ... "
" ... His opinion, having lots of experience with still photography, is that this is an easy way to step into action photography without a huge cost commitment. ... "
" ... This means that this camera is really intended to capture a wide field of view in good detail. ... It doesn't really have the ability to capture those intimately close-up images that a macro lens / setting would assist. ... The depth of field is broad, and it captures images sharply both near and relatively distant, but a macro setting would improve the performance up close. ... Items like focal point measurements can be useful. ... "
" ... I love the choice of view and with the 110 degree view I don't see any of the hated 'fish eye' effect. ... "
" ... I like the built in image stabilization, super wide angle feature and time lapse capture. ... "
" ... This can lead to lens flare when you would not normally expect it, as the camera is pointing slightly up toward the sky. ... "
