GoPro cameras are extremely popular with all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts and get high ratings from their users. Athletes like these cameras because you can wear them on a helmet or armband, or you can mount them on a surfboard, handlebar or other object. They have a wide angle lens capable of capturing 170º of action and can take 1080p video or 11 megapixel photos at a rate of 10 photos per second.

The downside to this camera is that it's really designed more for point of view (POV) action video than for photos. It doesn't have a viewfinder, scene modes or other features you may expect in a compact camera. It's basically designed to be mounted, turned on and left alone while it captures you in action.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 is currently one of the bestselling and highest-rated waterproof cameras with HD video. The ability to shoot HD video is just one of the reasons this camera is extremely popular. It's also waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof and dustrproof.
