GoPro Hero7 White — Waterproof Action Camera with Touch Screen 1080p HD Video 10MP Photos

The media could not be loaded. This is my 1st GoPro & I am quite pleased with the quality for the money. It has the basic features I wanted for occasional vacation use & because it only has a few features & modes, it is easy to use (no deep menus to dig through when just trying to get a quick shot or video.) If you are looking for something to use on vacation, I recommend this. Serious adrenaline sports people might be better off with the more expensive models, but this is a great fit for the occasional user.

This GoPro is GREAT! I have taken it to the Bahamas and submerged it in the ocean to take underwater pictures of fish and it took it like a pro. The picture is great and the audio is clear. I have taken video with the GoPro walking and the stabilization is great too, you can hardly tell that I am walking with the camera. I would like to buy another one in the near future.

Firstly, don't be frustrated if you can't get this working with the first push of the On button. Apparently, there is a bug with the initial firmware release which ships with the camera. So all what you have to do is update the firmware using the app to V. 1.21 (the latest update at the time of writing this post). Once updated, everything will work smoothly. I am very pleased with my Hero 7 White and what the GoPro app provides.

The media could not be loaded. I liked how easy it was to start and stop recording. The GoPro on a helmet cam mount works best for me. It’s hands free and also provides extra safety. Changing modes easily is also a big plus!

Bought this puppy for a 10 Year Anniversary to Bermuda with the wife. Used it pretty much non-stop for 10 days. Let's get cracking.So, let's the get bad stuff out of the way first:1) The touch screen underwater is a royal pain in the a**. It randomly switches from Picture to Time Lapse Video to Video on a whim, seemingly without reason. While underwater the screen is also partially responsive at best, and it's a super pain to have to surface IOT turn Burst Photo off and check a recent picture. The only interactions that really worked 100% were those that had physical buttons (i.e., Mode Switch, Turn On/Off, etc...) and those were great.2) There's a significant delay between pressing the button to take a picture and the shot happening, at least a good 1/2-3/4 second. May not seem like much, but when you're trying for a perfect shot of sea life, 1/2 second makes a significant difference.3) The battery life is garbage. Running it full tilt you'll get about 60-90 minutes of operations. You can save SOME life by turning off wifi, and other bells and whistles, but overall you won't get a long time. You can get a solid 45 minute dive in, but then you have to wait for it to recharge as the battery isn't exchangeable (which seems insane being my HERO 3 had a removable battery).For the upsides (and there are significant ones):1) The natural waterproofing works wonders and it's super nice to be able to just take the camera around without worrying about fitting a waterproof case and muffling the sound. The seal is nice and tight, firm but not impossible to open, and wholly effective.2) The shots are amazing. It's a significant jump over the HERO 3/4, and with image stabilization it's easier than ever to take amazing shots (some of the graininess of the attached shots is just due to water quality and visibility issues). The video is clear and crisp, and well defined for an entry level camera. My only peeve with the Photo option is I wish there were a way to narrow the view field from the SUPER wide angle. Maybe there is one and I didn't find it, perfectly possible, but it'd be nice to shoot non-wide angle at times.3) Microphone is decent, and can easily pick up on voices from over 10 feet away. It's not SUPER high quality, but reasonable enough.4) Above water, the touch screen is responsive and effective.Verdict?It's worth the price, but if you have the cash to kick up to the Black Edition, do it. Just being able to swap batteries will make it worth it. I don't know how responsive the touch screen is underwater for the Black Edition, I just hope it's better. If you're not looking to dive, this is going to be a great entry level action camera. Pair this with an accessories kit (usually suggested as an add on purchase) and you've got a fantastic kit for capturing some great moments.

1st Go Pro,So I’ll see how it Goes.So far I’m very Happy with the GoPro Customer Service.Very quick to call back and very easy to understand them helping me how this works.

I am beyond irritated with this product. I bought it last week and used it last night for a concert. The battery was at 100% and only lasted 2.5 hours. I called Go Pro support to ask what the battery life was supposed to be. After spending almost an hour going in circles with the representative, he told me that despite the Go Pro being purchased 1 week ago that I should have performed an update when I got it. We checked the version and it is the current version so that makes zero sense. Just while I was on the phone with him the battery went from 100% to 89% and I was not even recording anything. Clearly the battery is faulty and they need to send me a new product. He is telling me I have to perform more tests and send the results. I can only hope that at the end of this they send me a fully functioning product.

The touch screen is really good. It’s supper easy to use no problem with is so far I have been using it for a while. The resolution is really good but doesn’t have that true 1080p like it should. Now for YouTube it will have that true 1080p just watching it, it doesn’t.
