What customers say about "Size & Weight"

GoPro Hero6 Black Action Camera

I recommend 100%. In addition its versatility, size, functionality and final quality make it an ideal video camera for adventures, tourism and sports.
There isn't another camera in the market that comes close to matching its superior picture quality + portability balance. It's light weight and very easy to use.
The apps/software are easy, seamless, and fun. The camera itself is so freaking small it’s crazy.
This is a very small camera writing a lot of data to a tiny card and so there will be a lot of expected heat.
The entire camera is small which is great but they sacrificed a lot to get the camera that small.

GoPro Hero7 Silver Waterproof Digital Action Camera

Light, compact. Picture quality good.
This is a nice and compact camera with an impressive battery life.
The device is small enough to carry anywhere.
Picture quality is ok and it's pretty small.
Excellent weight and size.

The touch screen is more responsive.
The touch screen is very responsive and quick.
Amazing quality. Love the screen on the back, shots are more accurate.
I got a dud! Out of the box, the screen freezes just when changing camera modes from video to photo, or trying to change camera view, or randomly when toggling through any of the control screens.
The touch screen is a little annoying, but the photos are great.

GoPro Hero7 Silver Waterproof Digital Action Camera

The touch screen is fiddly.
The screen froze up and the battery is non removable.
