Why do you want one?

I explained why

Oh dear

Why 'Oh dear', End? Leader is asking a fair question.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

I was heading down a 'why a camera?' when phone camera and Instagram are amazing these days. Didn't mean to come across arsey.

In between holidays, I use it as a dashcam.
As I don't have a Go Pro, it's hard to comment as to how this compares, but it seems fine to me.

I also bought a couple of spare batteries and a separate charger, but in use, I found that a fully charged battery would easily last an hour or so underwater, so spares aren't essential.

Is it easy to edit videos? Reduce them into smaller ones? Are they in mpeg format on computer? Also does yours have sound

The few times that I've had to to edit a video, - the standard editing software in windows seemed to work fine.
I've just checked and the format is .mov - it does have sound.
Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.
