I've got the GoPro hero 3 black edition its good but the battery life isn't. You only get around 40 minutes battery life when recording unless you buy a battery BacPac. The latest GoPro5 looks good touch screen display and voice activation.
Download an app on your phone called geek and you'll be able to buy something similar for around £30-£70

Only thing I found with the cheapo is that the battery can be a bit iffy... sometimes you'd get 15 mins before recharging... other 30-40 mins... but picture wise it was excellent.

I bought one of those cheap Korean ones from ebay... £35... good as gold... used in Cal for surfing ... surprised how well it came out for something that cheap

I have the hero 3.
Its brilliant for skiing and surfing. using either the chest mount or stuck to ski/board looking towards you is cool.
My mrs has used it on a horse riding trip across Ireland too mounted on her helmet.
good graphics and fully waterproof. I'm not sure if the extra benefits of the newest models are worth the extra cost? might be worth saving a bit on an older one.

Make sure they have good strong cages.

Olympus Tracker looks like a practical and more useful alternative to the Go Pro - check out reviews online, though, of which there are plenty

Depends what you want it for. What are you going to film?
