From what we see in some post some people have very nice picturesI would like to know what tipe of action cameras are you using.Gopro ,garmin,or what?I have not seen any with zoom?Your comments will be appreciatedGaetan

GoPro and similar units are fine for clamping on bike handlebars, mounting on helmets, etc. but for "nice" pictures I would certainly spend that money elsewhere on a much better camera.bumpy

At my university. we use GoPro for videos at sporting events, student housing events, concerts, etc. For still photos, the resolution is so good that we just crop the photo and blow it up for zooming. For video, we have external zoom lenses that we can attach, but I believe the GoPro video editing software has a zoom feature.Our guys always use one of the newest cameras, I think they are on the GoPro Hero 3 Black right now.

Bumpyroad,What would you buy, what are you usingGaetan.

I use a Contour for video and occasionally pull a still from the video, but 95% of all my pictures come from a Cannon EOS rebel, that way I can adjust exposure and aperture.

I have put my GoPro on my bike handle bars, stuck it to the side of a boat, gone snorkeling with it, and just this week tied it to a quadcopter. Just can't do that with a regular camera!!So get a GoPro if you are the action, or the camera is in the action. Get a regular camera if you are simply taking pictures of the action.
