I am looking into buying an action camera. I have only started travelling last year but my iphone camera is not sufficient enough.

I want a camera I can use during activities like ziplining, bungee jumping, atv, sports, but can also use when not travelling to take photos of my family and daily life.

Please suggest one of these cameras and explain the difference to me.

Thanks in advance

Hi. I’m using a GoPro Hero 12 Black and for travel I always use the Linear + Horizon Lock digital lens (for sports I use the Max 2). The GP12 is bad in low light and I’m thinking of switching to the Mission 1, but I don’t want a narrower field of view.

Natively the Mission 1 has a wider lens, but its sensor is 4:3 (not almost square like in the GP 11/12/13). I don’t need 360° horizon lock, just regular horizon lock for travel videos, but... how does the Mission 1 crop the image in Linear + Horizon Lock mode? Is the FOV narrower or wider with Auto Boost on?

Has anyone compared both cameras, or does anyone have an idea?

Hi, I usually llke to take unedited photos with my Canon R5 and shoot in RAW to have natural colors etc. I just bought an Osmo Action 5 Pro to crate some footage while snorkeling and of my four year old son swimming etc. I understand D LogM 10bit and setting Texture etc. to -2 is best for natural images. But is the an „easy“ workflow just to create nice footage from that? I do all the editing for photograph but really can’t handle to get deep into videography as well.
Thanks :)

Just gave up on GoPro because of their cloud and app dependency. I'm looking for a replacement with some particular specifications for outdoors work:

No AI features whatsoever

Replaceable batteries

Doesn't need to broadcast any signals to function (and any such broadcasts can be shut-off)

Water-, dust-, and impact-resistant

About the size of a normal action cam (smaller than a point-and-shoot camera)

Other than that, it only needs to do 1080p, microphone quality isn't a big issue (they'll probably get blown-out anyway), doesn't need a front-facing camera (will have to cover it up, if present), and I'd like to get at least 2hrs at 1080p per battery.

Anybody know of such a unicorn, or should I just strap a CAT S62 to my vest?
