What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Xiaomi YI 4K (DT-46487) Action Camera

Small size and High portable, like a matchbox size.
I was surprised by how small it is which is a huge plus as you would not like to carry a heavy/big camera when you are traveling.
This camera is very handy and easy to transport.

GoPro Hero5 Black Action Camera

Great camera for its size, very high quality and great size to travel.
The product is great for travel due to small size.
This GoPro is a must for a traveller. So compact and versatile.
Really just wanted a quality camera that is small and light enough to attach to my motorcycle, RC cars or, dog to make some fun videos.
Can't believe it's so small, i carry it with me all the time in the car. purchased a Feiyu F5 to go with it. Perfectly stable video.

What customers say about "Display"

Xiaomi YI 4K (DT-46487) Action Camera

The 2 inch LCD screen is a nice size and the camera has a wide angled view of 170 degrees.
Like everyone else has pointed out the video quality is impressive and the touch screen is very good also.
WiFi works great, and the interface on the touchscreen is good.
The touch screen is very intuitive and isn’t clunky.
Camera have a full-back touch screen display with lots of settings!

GoPro Hero5 Black Action Camera

Love this new GoPro! The LCD screen on the back and the capability to link it to my phone or tablet for a better view is fabulous!
This updated version is awesome because the LCD screen is built in.
Great camera, am glad I went with a model with the display screen on the back.
The new go pro has added great features such as the touch screen and voice.
The thought screen is really nice but I think that the menus are sometimes a little tough to navigate because it's such a small screen, I don't really let that bother me because it's so simple to connect tablet or phone to it navigating the menus on the mobile is very fast and easy to change.

What customers say about "Video"

Xiaomi YI 4K (DT-46487) Action Camera

The quality of the photos and videos are good as 4K.
Photos and videos look great when you see them on your PC or cell phone
Makes great photos and videos during the day!
This is a pretty cool little camera. I'm replacing my lost htc re with it. Pictures and videos look good. The lense and sensor are high quality, just as good as the re.
Overall it's video quality is pretty good. Bad audio but I don't use it for audio. The 4k works but I would not use it for moving parts.

GoPro Hero5 Black Action Camera

The settings for video formats are great. There are many options.
The video was crisp and clear, the new generation of this GoPro is getting better.
My son has taken the GoPro on several skiing trips, videos are very clear. Easy to use, love it!
Nice camera, easy to use. Image stabilization works fine - cant complain.
Takes fantastic slow motion video. Image stabilization works very well in canceling small vibrations out.
Video quality degrades at night.

What customers say about "Features"

Xiaomi YI 4K (DT-46487) Action Camera

Wifi connected. It works fantastically! I can use phone not only control the camera, but also download（or delete）all the pictures and videos.
Compatible other brand waterproof case and accessories (needs extra purchase).
Wide-angle lens can take more vision view. I could use it as a car recorded camera(use a car plug and charging cable).
The main problem is the audio and video don't match which just causes a headache if you need the audio. The mic isn't that great either.
Accessories are fairly hard to find and aren't of good quality.

GoPro Hero5 Black Action Camera

Great for vacations and it comes water resistant now. I've been using it in for snowboarding lately and the picture quality comes out great.
Durable easy to operate and awesome picture...great for family moments...like its small design and water resistance.
Much better than the previous model. Water resistant without a case to a certain depth.
Very user friendly and the voice control features is awesome!
Great Action camera, love the GPS setup and all the software that can be used with it.
In order to use the app, it appears I must use my data as connecting the GoPro unit disconnects the wi-fi.
Good product. Be careful when purchasing the SD card. The camera does not support all types and some SD cards will say they work with GoPro cameras but they do not.
