If you're doing any of those things on the website than they are all pros n no cons. It's meant to be used w/ the case it comes with so you can attach it on things or the accessories. I have not purchased one yet, but will on my next travel trip. I do have a water proof fuji camera but it is nothing like the go pros for HD video. I also own the Kodak Zi8 HD pocket camera, same one Rick Gelinas uses to do his videos, it's an awesome camera, a step below the Go Pro.
