The Digital HERO 5 is a shockproof / waterproof wrist camera that makes it easy to shoot digital video and photos during your favorite activity. Miniature size and patented versatility combine with TV resolution video and 5 megapixel photos to form the world’s most convenient sports camera.
I used this camera for a rafting trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
Pros:
- The convenience of having it attached to your wrist. It was fully available for taking those spur of the moment shots.
- It’s waterproofness. I was able to strap it to the front of the boat and take video and not worry about it leaking.
- It’s lightweight and small size.
Cons:
- Not a long battery life. In 12 days I went through 8 lithium AAA batteries.
- The angle of the lens. I couldn’t capture the expansiveness of those beautiful canyon views.
Overall, I was very happy with this camera and will be glad to have it for any water related trips.
