Mostly good

Camera, batteries and battery charger all work great but SD card is corrupt and unfortunately not at all usable, even with attempted reformatting on a PC it does not work.

Solid performance and image

This is my first action cam and I have to say it's been a blast to use. The image quality out of this is better than I expected though I've been admittedly underwhelmed by the GP-log footage. Took it into a pool without any housing and it worked perfectly and the touchscreen performed decently even with wet hands. Battery life has been good from my experience but I'm also not doing shots for more than 30-60 secs at a time.
