The big 4K30 compatibility, Advanced audio algorithm, New "Hilight Tag" button, Smartphone compatibility, Night Photo and Night Lapse, SuperView, Protune
No in-camera digital image stabilization, Battery life can be draining, No Smart Remote, No SD Card

Like previous years, GoPro has continued to raise the bar on action cameras from a specification standpoint – in particular, within the resolution and video/photo quality department. That aspect alone will no doubt make it a must have for those wanting th...
Highquality video recording in an exceptionally small package, Easytouse interface, Amazing assortment of mounting accessories
Battery life still limited to less than one hour with highfps, highres video
