Video camera to sub out for a GoPro

[Phil Lilley]

I've been using a GoPro 4 for a while... it has it's issues but has worked pretty well.  But I'm looking to upgrade, mainly for the WiFi and the ability to upload video files directly to cloud based storage.  GoPro offers that... but reviews for the GoPro 6 aren't that good.

So... looking for suggestions.

Thanks

Phil, I found this camera they use on motorcycles and has attachments. I'm not familiar with it, but it appears worth a look.

I really wish the GoPro I have wasn’t so wide angle that it distorts everything. I hate curved rods and water lines.

The 5 and 6 gives you 5 different views:  Superview, Wide, Medium and Linear and Narrow.  So you don't have to stay with the fish eye look.

A lot of the newer video editing software will correct that. Might not be perfect though.

I've really got the itch to upgrade my DSLR. They all (well, I think all the mid-range and above) come with HD video now. But that's another topic...maybe.

Yep. At least the ones I have been looking at do. 

I have over 60,000 clicks on mine so I've been doing a bit of looking myself.
