I'm disappointed with the Hero 8 Black. I prefer my old Garmin Virb XE.

I guess this isn't all "ease of use" stuff, but I do think it's all more generally usability:

- The Virb XE has a much easier to find and actuate record switch (physical moving switch); the position of the switch will tell you if you're recording or not if you can't see the camera.

- The Virb XE waterproofing isn't compromized by connecting it to power; the GoPro battery door has to be removed/opened to connect to power.

- The GoPro won't let you connect a bluetooth headset/microphone, so you can't connect a mic and keep waterproofing.
