Am looking to treat myself to a GoPro Type Camera - fancy treating myself!

What are the best options? I would like 4K if possible - maybe even at 60+ frames per second also.

I like the GoPro Session, however is it as good as the other GoPros?

Changeable batteries (with decent battery life!) would be nice.

Lots of mounting options would be good too!

What options are out there worth considering?

Thank you for your information.

If you have either the GoPro or the Sony in a car, can you power either from the cigar lighter socket whilst still recording (i.e. for timelapse shots etc)?

The reviews seem to suggest the GoPro video quality is the best in class, however some side-by-side comparisons with the Sony seem to disagree.

Thanks for the comments chaps. Ordered a GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition on Amazon today - will be with me tomorrow. Handy discount over retail also.

Filmed my first video - out on the motorbike over the weekend. It seems reasonable quality however the export from the GoPro software lost a bit and then the upload to Vimeo also didn't help the cause either.

Not over the moon with it but will probably persevere.

That's exactly what I bought and not so impressed yet. Will have to persevere with it some more!
