I'm getting really tired sending my little Nikon camera back to LA to have it repaired. It works fine for video, but then it won't open, probably because the car is stiff and likely is causing the gears that open the lens to jam.

So was looking at the Hero GoPro3, but was hopeful that people on this board would have opinions on the unit.

My use is primarily for Autoxing so would really like something that can be turned on easily, unlike the Nikon which requires someone outside the car to get it started. Sound quality is important as well.

Or maybe there is a nice video unit out there that works better.

All advice appreciated.
