What camera do I buy? / general gear talk

Also the other thought I'd just had regarding a go pro is that you can film a small segment and then extract pictures from it later on. That's been handy for me when climbing or cycling since I don't always want to frame properly.

Isn't that a lot more work afterwards, compared to just taking a few seconds to frame a shot properly?

Apart from the fact that a photo from a somewhat proper camera will look much better than a still from a video.
