Anyone using a gopro session? My main interest in trying the session is it's small size.

The problem I have with GoPro cameras is that they don't have any view finder. To me that really limits its usefulness.

I definitely want a GoPro, but it will mostly be mounted on my board. I want a camera to have a camera, which is nice in general. You can't really whip your GoPro around to take pictures of whales or kids or that shark that's about to nibble on your arm.

I'm going to look at those Fujis too.

Wear the wrist mount.

That might work if you could line up the shot over your fist so that it would shoot wherever you pointed your arm. I like that idea.

I have no interest in taking surfing selfie videos. I would want to use it like a traditional camera.
