I use a Swann Freestyle HD (like a GoPro with more stuff) and I have a Nikon 8100. Which only recently scratched the lens. The 8100 has had a hard life in the Fire Department. I camera has taken a pretty good beating and still take great photos. My Freestyle will take 8M still and HD video. I like the LCD screen and wireless remote. They were included. And I think it’s shoots the same quality video as a GoPro Hero. However the Hero 2 has a much better lens
