I was looking for a waterproof upgrade to my other action cam, one I can use around the pool and on vacation and not need the waterproof case. The problem with the waterproof case is the microphone is covered, so any sound will be muffled. Anyway, this camera seems to be pretty good! Nice video quality, nice photo quality, and completely waterproof. I tested by taking some video and photos under water. I think If I was doing a lot of underwater shots I would still use the case for added protection, but its nice to know I can use it in wet situations without worry.A few things I noticed that I wish was better: First, the mic is right next to the shutter button. When you hold the camera there is a good chance you will touch the mic and that gets picked up as a very loud noise on the recording. Second is the weight, the camera is significantly heavier than my other action camera. It doesn't sound like much, but at almost 5 oz. I'd be hesitant to mount this to a helmet or somewhere that swings around a lot. Finally, it may be my laptops or cable (I tried on two different laptops) but I cannot get the camera to be recognized by Windows 10. I need to put the SD card in the laptop to transfer photos and video.
