Go Pro - should I go new or old
I have been reading reviews for various action cameras for a while now and am pretty much decided on GoPro. Not that I think they are the best but they are fairly ubiquitous and should be easy to sell on, get tips about or fix.
That being said the next problem is do I go GoPro Hero or Hero +2, +3 or +4.
As you can see for this price round up there is a wide spread of prices. My natural urge is to go cheap but do the originals just suck.

Can't vouch for the earlier versions but the 4's video quality is excellent and I like the touch screen on the back. Depending on what you want to use it for, I've found myself buying a variety of mounts to get different shots. Getting better 'angles', editing and movie making are the tricks to get the most out of a GoPro. If you're wondering how tough it is, part of my handlebar mount snapped (probably only so many 'shocks' it could take from bumpy terrain) and the camera hit the tarmac at 20mph. Casing a bit scuffed but otherwise OK. Rather alarmingly the clip sprung open but the camera stayed in the casing.
