GoPro cameras are designed to break long recordings up into smaller files as a safety precaution

sorted byIt beats the Hero 11 in most head to head comparisons, let alone the better reliability.
That's where my money would go personally but I've had too many bad experiences with GoPro products to buy another one.

Bought a Wolfgang but it's horrible. Might jump on this dji osmo. Just can't warrant £250
I bought a new one on ebay for £60 as part of a youtube experiment. It actually held it's own against the Hero 7 in all areas apart from sound. The microphone is truly awful on that camera.
Anyway, DJI Osmo Action or insta360 One RS all the way now. I'm not really interested in trying future Gopro products any more.
If you want a decent branded action cam with decent enough features the hero 9 is worth it IMO, I nearly got one of the alernative cheaper random brands on amazon and I'm glad I didnt.
Just be aware it needs to be outside with airflow, if you have it inside recording for long times it'll overheat. Use it outside to record 'action' and it'll likely be fine. Had mine on a mount outside for a couple hours recording till battery / space runs out multiple times now and not had issues with overheating. Using old but decent Samsung SD card with standard bitrate set.
Wanting a good camera for going on holiday next year in particular want to add it to my snorkeling mask for going to the great barrier reef.
Would appreciate some help and advice.
DJI Action 3 does have HDR.
The main problem with the gopro hero 9 is that it is unreliable.
It is fussy about SD Cards and their formatting. It overheats quickly. I've even had a gopro failure from riding on my motorbike where it is fed lots of fresh air but once you come to a stop you only have a couple of minutes maximum in the sunshine before it shuts down due to overheating.
I haven't used any action camera extensively for snorkelling but at least the cool water will help the overheating situation.
I've always found the 5.3k resolution a gimmick for my use case.
Sure, you can crop in to 4k if your framing was bad when recording but in my situation that's not an issue.
Anything more than 4k is a waste of memory card space and battery power in my opinion.
Loads of mounting options.
SD Card issues and overheating.
