#hero 4

GoPro has officially announced its highly-anticipated Hero5 action cameras and many are already looking forward to getting their hands on one. So we've decided to put together a quick comparison of the new model and its predecessor, the Hero4, to see what has changed and what was carried over. Note: The variants pitted here are the Hero4 Black and Hero5 Black which are the top-of-the-line models. [table id=251 /] Based on the side by side comparison of its specs and features, both the GoPro Hero4 and Hero5 still shoot 12-megapixel stills and records up to 4K video at 30 frames per second. Design-wise, the Hero5 Black appears to be rounder and only uses a simple one-button approach since the rest of the fiddling is done on its 2-inch monitor. GoPro's top of the line model for 2016 indeed is a fitting successor to the Hero4. The Hero5 Black also has a lower $399 price tag than its predecessor's introductory price at $499. If you're still deciding to get a GoPro Hero 3+ anytime soon, you might want to re-think that again as the Hero 4 is expected to arrive in the Philippines sometime in October.
