1. Package was small - not a good thing or a bad thing, but compared to the giant package the GoPro comes in, it was def. tiny
2. The app sucks - connecting, disconnecting, reconnecting. Really a pita. The fact that there is no ipad native app is dumb
2a. Wifi seems to go to sleep if doing a long duration shot.
3. No dewarp in 8x slowmo. This is one of the reasons I bought this was I couldn't do it with my GoPro. Really disappointed with this
4. Image quality is good
5. Better in low light compared to GoPro, but still not great
6. Menus in camera are not great. They are better in the app
7. Takes a 256gb card - should be a no brainer, but isn't for all cams

I was really unfamiliar with Action Cameras. But as I watched a few videos I started to notice that the camera was tiny in the hands of its users. So when my small box arrived and then I opened it, I was surprised at how really small the Action is.

Ive found the app and stability of connection really good so far, but I have been using it with the Pocket since christmas. At least if your not happy your still able to send it back if it's only just arrived.

It is very similar in size to the GoPro Hero series. It is tiny.

Once connected it is fine, it's getting the initial connection that is the problem for me.
 
Also got the ForeverCam cage. Excellent product. Uses any 52mm filter and the data card and USB-C area is accessible without removal from its cage.??????
