Pros
Front-facing screen is a genius idea for framing your shot perfectly. The image stabilization is really amazing for such a tiny camera. It also takes decent photos. Outstanding crisp panoramic views and colours captured by such a small camera.

Cons
Not impressed by low light capabilities and touch ui is really slow and unresponsive. Camera overheats like crazy (indoors at 24c ambient temp) and it shuts off. There's too many bugs for the gopro to cost as much as it does.
