Hi guys. I am new to this site and this is my 1st post so hello.

I would like to add my 2 cents......IMO, most of the cameras offer good video these days, especially good enough for the average punter. I would pay more attention to the user interface. The GoPro Silver has a touch screen at the back which makes it easy to use....the other models you need to use the buttons and flipping between video and still frame and then the individual settings for both is far easier using a touch screen rather than the three buttons to navigate. I see battery life is important, I personally therefore would not look at buying the addon touchscreen which is available as it really eats up battery life.

As far as charging batteries, its easy to wire in a USB charging adapter to your 12v. You can buy the cigarette style adapters where you can just cut the end off and run to pos and neg.......there are probably others on the market if you do some homework.

Cheers
Terry
