The developments in the domain of the action cam are a bit slower than a few years ago. The image quality has been slightly improved across the board, wifi is pretty much standard and the high-end models can record at 4K quality and in ultra slow motion...

Battery life is inadequate, No preview screen, Difficult to make menu changes without app

Excellent video footage, Higher frame rates, Improved menu system, Wide choice of accessories
No LCD screen, Average battery life, Silver is better value, No optical stabilisation,
The quality of the video footage and photos created by the GoPro Hero4 Black is hugely impressive considering the small size of the package (which means you can take it or strap it or mount it anywhere). For most people, though, the cheaper price, integra...
Abstract: You know how people call every kind of vacuum cleaner a "Hoover", even if it's technically from another brand? These days, GoPro is practically synonymous with action cameras. I can't use any other action cam without someone asking me, "Is that a GoPro?"...
