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

Abstract: Action cameras are about more than just capturing crazy stunts these days — they've become a way to make anything you do look cool. You've probably seen people wave a selfie stick around while riding a bike, or strap a camera to their chest at a sporting ...

Excellent video quality. Capable of 4K recording. Versatile shooting modes. Touch-screen LCD. Improved menu system.
Expensive. Short battery life
Underneath the surface, the GoPro's Hero4 Silver is basically the Hero3+ Black Edition—and that's a good thing. Its top-notch performance and new touch-screen display justify this action cam's $400 price tag....
