The Hero 5 session is a fine camera but the short battery life limits its use. You can always get an extended battery attachment, but that would negate much of the function of its small size.
Again, it depends on what you need it for. If its to capture video of events to share the Gopro Sessions is fine. But if its used primarily for incident recording than a Gopro would be overkill. There are much cheaper cameras that can do that for a much less. You don't need to spend a lot for basic incident recording.

My mistake for not realizing first how the resolution and frame frequency settings impact file size.
Generally speaking, want to record at the cameras highest quality rate. You can always compress the file afterwards if you need to send it to someone later.
