Really bad over priced camera

It was good while it worked, but when it filled up with water... i had used the camera a few times to less than the recommended depth and then i noticed what looked like condensation on the inside of the lens. The camera then stopped working. Fortunately it was still under guarantee so I managed to get my money back - this tended to be a bit of a drawn out process as the suppliers were in Germany. Oregon in this country could not help as they required the supplier to deal. Eventually things got sorted. The screen is very small and difficult to read - the photos and video and sound are quite good. The camera is a little difficult to control, especially with gloves on, as it is quite small. I used it mounted to my wrist with a rubber strap.

Warning! Do not buy this camera if you are using it for water sport! I own one of them and when I took it up to the Lake District to test it out, as soon as I dipped it in the water it broke! Before I placed it in the water I made sure it was sealed tight and had the screen casting over it and it broke in 1/2 an inch of water!

The video quality is very impressive and the camera copes with changes from light to dark and back with very little delay. The screen is spot on for lining shots up and reviewing footage but the laser is OTT. It takes good still shots and the sound is better than I expected. It's not the most intuitive operating system I've ever come across but It's not intolerable. Unfortunately the mounting systems are absolutely useless, as you will read in every other review on this, or any other site. It's such a shame a potentially good piece of kit is let down at the last minute by such an important aspect of an action camera. Every one of my mounts has broken or just didn't fit/ hold in the first place. Also It seems that replacement parts are not readily available, although this would be a false economy. Also, as a warning to all action camera buyers-Buy the best memory card you card you can afford. I strapped this to my bike and risked my neck around the Nurburgring (Infamous race track)3 times and it didn't record 1 F'ing lap. I've since found out that if the file exceeds the memory size then NOTHING will be recorded/saved. This applies to all action cameras, not just this one. Make sure you get a memory card with the largest memory but also the highest class (10) as this will make any footage you record much smoother. In conclusion follow the crowd. I've seen lots of footage from mates Go-Pros. Top quality stills and Videos and a never ending array of OE and after market mounting systems and accessories. Well worth the extra pennies.

Camera quality is good, sound is not as good as the Go-Pro.For an action camera that is tough enough to follow you anywhere, one would assume that it would get damaged. And the most vunerable area is the glass lens protector.I broke this glass unexplicably, so I did what was the norm...Contacted Oregon Scientific. All I wanted to do is fix the glass, even at my own cost. Unfortunately, the camera cannot be fixed by any camera specialist, nor can Oregon provide a cost effective solution (as it would have to go to China).At least GO-PRO have lens repair kits. I am now left with a camera with a crack in the glass piece, which reduces quality and if humid creates a blurry image - of course is no longer waterproof.Beware!

Good Camera very good picture quality.But I would never by another one because of the quality of the mounting bracket. After about a day it cracked and you can't replace the bracket or use the camera in any way without it.As I also bought a GPS unit & spare battery separately, I had to glue the mount together and hope for the best."Tough Enough to Follow you anywhere".At least Oregon have a sense of humour.I'm sure the bracket would be fine as long as you never take it out of the box, as it cracked before I even had a chance to use it.The rest of the mounting kit looks to be of equal quality,

As a Microlight pilot I am looking at using this camera on my helmet. The strap supplied was too short and does not fit on my helmet, I now discover that you cannot operate this below zero degrees (it is cold up there). This is not mentioned on this site - where I purchased it from. Apparently it is somewhere in the operation manual (they do not make a cold weather sleeve for this model)...so basically it is no good for flying
