Are you really proposing the sony a7s as an alternative. You strap that on your head/ chest?
Repeating to help you out:
last gen image quality, not impressive at all, in particular in low light conditions.
Action cam doesn't mean you will only use in bright day light.
Ever went skiing at night?
Ever went driving with your buddies at night or at sunrise?
Etc.

Priced right/. I wouldn't buy: last gen image quality, not impressive at all, in particular in low light conditions.
Amen. I was about to pull the trigger on the ebay refurbished with the 20% discount but it sold out so quick. I started researching and glad I did not buy. Now will wait out for a deal on the Hero 5.

I don't go skiing / scuba diving at night.
You really think there's a camera out there for this price?
I agree it's old tech by but the gopro 5 isnt that much of a significant difference.
I'm not sure where you're going with "last gen image quality" when they both use the same sensor
This is a great price if you don't want to spend more on a gopro 5.
This is by far the lowest I have seen the GP4-B on slickdeals. Not too long ago they were selling GP4 Silver for $250 and those were being bought. I'm amused that someone can tell me that this isn't a good priced camera when they can't even show another product that's "better" and in the same price range.
Hello all, I am not here to bad mouth the hero 4, it is a great camera. But as a fellow sder, I would like to share what is out there which will help you make a better decision. At one time I was leaning towards the sj6....

its an action camera, why the hell would you need it in low light? Get something like a sony a7s if you care about low light conditions

But I mostly use it for mountain biking and among the other things, the image stabilization, even though not optical is what made me decide.
Here is a comparison of 4 and 5.
