I am wanting to buy new camera with handle and go pro or action camera could anyone give me recommendations for good ones? I’m not very well up on my cameras etc

Camera with handle not sure on?
I have a GoPro Hero 4 which I had handled most of our trip, fantastic camera... some of our footage from the waterparks/ Discovery cove is amazing! For me money well spent. I also have a Nikon D3100 it's bulky and annoying to carry but gives me my best pictures.

For quick convenience shots we use our phones. I can't recommend any alternatives to Gopro but I did spend a lot of time reading up before I bought ours and just opted straight for this one due to the reviews.

I've heard good things about Apeman action cameras. Can anybody recommend?

We've just bought a used Gopro hero HD 2 from ebay. We are not used to using cameras but heard good things about the gopro so thought we'd try b4 spending a lot of money on one (£50 on ebay, with all the gear). Going to try it out when we go in 4 weeks

My small camera set up consists of a Sony RX100 MKiii mounted on a Manfrotto Pixi tripod for a handle/grip, and a GoPro Hero 4 on a various array of mounts depending on what's required at the time.

Though it must be noted this is mainly for video work, and quick snap photos where I want more control than my phone.

My real photos will be from my 7D and a variety of lenses

In the past we've always taken our DSLR and a little point and shoot...not anymore though! This time we'll be using a GoPro Hero 5 and our phones, an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 8 both of which have decent 12mp cameras.

I have however been looking in to lens kits for the phones, telephoto etc.

gopro knockoffs - the sj4000 is of similar quality, but a fraction of the price - i have several of them myself so can vouch for them, but search youtube for "gopro vs sj4000" for comparison videos if you dont believe me

the wifi model is about £15 more, but i dont own any of those...

camera-wise, i stopped taking my dslr years ago, i only take my EOS-m compact out in the evenings too - for daytime shots, my phone does the job just fine

Lumix TZ70 and GoPro Hero 5 was the combination we took last year. Got slot of footage on the GoPro but have learnt a lot in doing so (What not to bother doing) but was well worth it. Need patience with the editting though!
