    Quick question, I’m a pro photographer, I don’t know crap about video. I have been interested in a compact durable camera / camcorder for fun. Iv been debating between a Nikon aw100 and one of these gopro cameras. I’m sure the Nikon makes better photos, but Which camera has the better video quality? Thanks.
