The outward aesthetics of the GoPro are polarizing to say the least. If you’ve not seen one before you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a toy intended for pre-school photographers. The exterior hard plastic shell protects the camera itself but certainly won’t win any beauty contests. The beauty in this beast is its durability. The sealed housing can submerge to a depth of 60m so not only is it a perfectly acceptable surf and kayak camera, using it while scuba diving and snorkeling is also a real option. We all want the best image quality possible right? This is where the camera lives and dies. Image quality isn’t cut and dry, however, it’s somewhat subjective depending on your expectations, usage of your photos once taken and the device used. The basic HD HERO was marketed either with a basic set of accessories (case and mount) as the "Naked", or in bundles with additional accessories named for the intended purpose (such as the HD Helmet HERO, HD Motorsports HERO, and HD Surf HERO). [78] For all HD HERO variants, the camera shoots a maximum of 1080p video with a reduced field of view (127°) on its 5 MP sensor. [79] Alternative resolutions for the HD HERO included 960p30, 720p60, 720p30, and 480p60, with the same wide-angle (170°) view as the previous-generation Wide HERO. [65] It was first listed on January 25, 2010.

The icefox Action Camera has a companion mobile app that can act as a Live View and remote control. The app has trouble staying connecting with the camera and is generally unreliable. The sensor on this new unit is a big improvement over the previous model. Technically speaking it’s slightly larger at 1/2.3in compared to 1/2.5in, but this small change in numbers doesn’t do justice to the dramatic improvement you’ll experience in image quality. While testing both cameras side-by-side, three things really jumped-out. With that in mind, we assessed the image quality of each camera bearing in mind the anticipated expectations of the intended user and what they’ll be doing with their pics and vids. Features

Summary

Build-wise there’s little wrong with the Garmin VIRB Ultra 30. Without any extra accessories, the VIRB 30 is quite small and features a tough shell and an equally resistant touchscreen.
