    Now looking at the SJ4000, which appears to use the gopro mounts. At circa £50, they don't look bad value for money, but there appears to be a number of fakes about. There also seems to be the option of wifi, but costs an extra £15 and not sure you ever use it.

    Anyone use the SJ4000? (Hopefully Lambchops can help)

    Cheers

    Have heard great things about these. Big debates over which is better, the go pro or these on other forums.

    Things like that I will buy on Amazon Prime. Costs more but returns are easy and free in the first 30 days, give you a chance to try it out in anger.

    Bought an S5 for the wife that way and the one that shipped was for the UAE. Sent back and refunded in 48 hours, then bought one from Amazon themselves.

    What's the score with amazon prime? Don't you end up paying some subscription for something or another?

    Unfortunately, my broadband rarely exceeds 1meg, so can't stream anything. Been looking for days now, all the sellers seem dodgy. You find one seller, then you read some of the reviews and it appears they're shipping fake copies.....
