I absolutely love this little camera. I've had it just about a year and it's been everywhere with me and shot hundreds of gigs worth of video and photos. It's extremely durable. I've slammed it into all kinds of things, dropped it, fallen while skate boarding, etc and had zero issues with the camera. The adhesive surfboard mounting hardware is fantastic. Very very strong. I was worried about losing the camera at first but my fears faded quickly. Since getting the camera I've purchased and build accessories for mounting it. The amount of expansion equipment made by gopro is a huge bonus.

So far it's been used for filming/photographing surfing, skateboarding, mountain biking, snorkeling, swimming, hiking, flying, paintball, driving, roller coasters, my dog, running, and anything else fun that I have a chance to do.

My biggest complaint about the camera is that navigating through the menus is SLOW and if you miss what you're looking for you have to go through the WHOLE menu again. Thankfully I don't have to do this terribly often. Second thing, is that a view screen would be nice. GoPro said they were working one that will plug into the back of the camera (there is a port there waiting to be used)

Other than that, it's great.

good video format options. Takes good photos and can do time lapse and slow motion.
I WILL buy more of these cameras.
