GoPro, the company which is famous for making cameras for a very niche market has come up with another camera, the GoPro Hero 4 that may appeal only to a small set of users. The latest camera comes with only a few small changes, but these changes are quite significant in making the layman use this device with ease.
The company has launched three different versions of the camera. The Hero4 Silver that costs $400 comes with a touchscreen and is perfect one for a common man. The cheapest version with a price tag of only $130 is the latest version of its palm-sized camera. The most expensive version is the Hero 4 Black which costs $500. It is the camera that is likely to appeal to the experts and the pros as it has got a much faster processor that lets you shoot videos with almost four times the resolution of a high definition video.
This camera is being touted as the go-anywhere camera as it has some amazing features and it overcomes two major drawbacks of the smartphone camera. First, you can fix this camera in places where your smartphone is unlikely to fit and second, it has a whopping 170 degree wide-angle lens which makes capturing almost all situations in focus very easy.
The Black version of the camera has a professional audio performance and a new mike that offers a much better and more natural sounding audio and double the dynamic range. This flagship camera can shoot 1080p footage at 120 fps and 2.7k video at 50 fps. The only major drawback of this camera is that it has a very short battery life of just two and a half hours which is a huge let-down.
The release date of this new GoPro camera has been announced and it is all set to hit the markets from October 5.
