The editors didn't like
Very poor battery life
Not enough accessories included
Front screen isn't backlit
Slow WiFi connection with significant lag
No headphone or mic port
Mono sound
It still needs a housing to be waterproof. Battery redesign means you can't use your old batteries and battery life will still be too short for some. No option for in-camera digital image stabilization

A small edition makes a big improvement to the GoPro line.It can be a bit confusing keeping track of all the different variations of GoPros on the market, something not aided by the fact that they all look so similar. The Hero4 Silver distinguishes itself...

Everyone was excited about the GoPro Hero4 Silver, or at least the thought of a GoPro with a rear touchscreen. There's no denying that it's a very practical addition, but it could be better incorporated. Not only that, but it brings the battery life crash...
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?"...
Great video and photo quality, Simple yet sophisticated, Vivid touchscreen, Highly stable Wi-Fi
Limited battery life, Some issues with pixelation, Can't handle bright, direct light
GoPro deserves credit for breathing life back into the stagnant camcorder business. While traditional camcorders have lost their luster, action cameras have gained popularity. Competitors from Sony to Polaroid have challenged GoPro for this turf, but it ...

Sharp images with fine color detail, Bright 1.7-inch touchscreen LCD, Easy control over Wi-Fi and mobile app, Access to huge selection of mounts and cases
Video and photos can look a tad hazy, Case muffles audio
The Hero4 Silver achieves the best balance of quality, price and usability among action cameras, while supporting oodles of accessories...
It's a little 1.5inch cube, so it's small enough to mount just about anywhere. Little of the bulk and drag of a traditional GoPro mount. Supersimple onebutton operation. Fully waterproof without a case, even the microphones. New mounts extend usability

Abstract: The waterproof GoPro HERO4 camera offers high-quality video for outdoor adventures. You can share your photos and videos with the camera's built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as choose from several optional accessories. The HERO4 underwater camera is on...
