Pros
- Image quality, stabilizer, workmanship, functionality.
Cons
- Price.
Pros
- Voice control. Supported by various mobile apps like racechrono, this is an exclusive feature.
Cons
- Glitchy (more than before) firmware, battery, wifi progress compared to 4 no. I also don’t see progress in the picture, but I won’t judge here. Less settings, this is important for me, since I use the camera through third-party software.
Pros
- Shooting quality
Cons
- Photo quality. Not an interchangeable lens. Price.
Pros
- Compact, good quality stabilization and shooting in good light, water and dust resistance. The BLACK series supports cards up to 256 GB, which is more than 8 hours of shooting! Really good dynamic range (HDR works!).
Cons
- For a long time it was unstable, but now the bugs seem to have been cured and it no longer freezes. It shoots very badly in poor lighting, but I don’t even attribute this to shortcomings, this is a conscious sacrifice in favor of other parameters. Weak sound, but that too is a victim of water resistance and noise cancellation. 4K is conditional here, I would not consider it seriously. Sometimes for some reason the image trembles. Not a standard 2.7K recording format that some players (including LG SMART TVs) do not understand, has to be repackaged, but this is cured by turning on the HEVC codec. I recommend turning off the low light mode, in this mode the camera slows down shooting in low light (sacrifices speed for the sake of quality) and if there is movement in the scene or the camera itself moves, it looks terrible, everything twitches, as if you are watching a fast slideshow. Well, I will not evaluate the function of photography, we can assume that it is not there.
Pros
- Convenient, simple operation, wearing on the head with the help of a special mount opens up new opportunities for shooting. Good video quality in good lighting.
Cons
- It's buggy! Immediately after the purchase and after the software ate, it's still buggy. Poor video quality in low light. Poor photo quality in any light, the level of smartphones 8 years ago. The battery drains quickly. The camera is heating up.
Pros
- Took for filming extreme sports. GoPro has more mounting options than Sony. In daylight, excellent stabilization, I rode a quadric with it, ran with it in my hands, etc., the picture stabilized very worthily. Video quality in daylight is excellent. Superview mode, the ability to put more information in the frame. Photo quality The sound is worse than on Sony, but enough for me. In most cases, I embed music in the video. Good programs on ios, fast synchronization. type-c connector A huge number of accessories (sometimes I bought a non-original, but the original is simply of excellent quality, in the end it’s better to overpay and get high from a quality, well-thought-out thing).
Cons
- Very little battery life (I bought 3 additional ones at once). All the time I think about the charge, a little annoying. Often freezes, you have to pull out the battery, resulting in a broken file. Warming up. It fits tightly into the frame, the soft-touch coating deteriorates. The bezel scratches the camera body. It's especially infuriating when the camera freezes, you have to quickly pull it out of the frame, but it doesn't come out =/ Sometimes it is discharged off (I pull out the battery when I'm not using it). The quality of shooting in the dark, stabilization does not work out.
Pros
- Build quality. A lot of stray items on Ali, whose stores are located in Hong Kong, bring equipment three to four days to their homes in Hong Kong Region.
Cons
- Sometimes it freezes, you have to turn it off, taking out the battery. Color rendition is too high. The colors in the sun are not natural. It grains indoors. It seems to work well underwater.
Pros
- + Video quality in good lighting. + Good stabilization at low fps. + Dimensions (although the weight in the existing dimensions is rather small - the impression is that half of the volume is occupied by an iron blank)
Cons
- BATTERY is a failure. The new native battery works in shooting mode for only about 60 minutes! At the same time, if the camera is not turned off completely, then in standby mode, even with the screen turned off, the battery is consumed quite actively. At the same time, a lot of energy is wasted: it heats up quite well in shooting mode and even when it is turned on, but does practically nothing, it is also noticeably warm. Obviously, this speaks of unoptimized hardware and, most importantly, software. What do we get as a result? With one standard battery pack, you can only go to shoot a pre-planned scene. For all sorts of searches for plans, waiting for moments and other arts, there may simply not be enough battery. And for the shooting of "everything in a row" it certainly will not be enough. And then there is a related problem. Because Since the operating time is calculated not in hours, but in minutes, then you constantly have to remember that the battery will soon run out and you will need to change it. And to do this, let's say, during a free fall at a height of a kilometer above the ground will be a little difficult. And therefore, you will screw up the shooting. In summary: to the box battery, you just need to buy 2-3 additional batteries and a charger for them (otherwise it will take you all day to charge them one at a time). And this (let's take off-prices on off-site) 2*30$ + 65$. Those. even more than a third of the price of the camera itself for more or less comfortable shooting in the field during the day. And it's usb charging. You can also buy a power supply for accelerated charging, but this is another $ plus. - The work of programmers. The firmware of the camera is still back and forth, although it is far from ideal. But external software is just a finish. Up to its complete inoperability. - There is no threaded tripod mount included. But there is a "very necessary" quite a serious attachment to the packing box. - Expensive for a set with existing jambs and the need to spend another half the cost of this camera in order to be able to shoot normally not only near the outlet.
Pros
- Superb 3-axis Hypersmooth digital stabilization. Thoughtful friendly menu. Added new shooting modes. Improved voice control. Significantly improved audio recording. The coolest thing is the Time Wrap mode now with Hypersmooth stabilization.
Cons
- Price
Pros
- Ease of use. Image stabilization during the day in sunlight. Good software for quick editing on your phone or computer (especially if you shoot small video files) Impact-resistant case.
Cons
- Periodically freezes (maybe corrected in the firmware), specifically today it hung when you pressed the record button when you connected an external battery with an inserted battery, a power bank . rebooted, took out the battery, turned on the external power, it works. The picture quality is very good, but at the same time, night shooting and shooting with artificial light have some problems. Stabilization does not work at night . at the moments of shaking, the image "washes", while in the "auto" mode it is still very "noisy". There is an image flickering problem. In NTSC mode, lighting lamps (chandeliers, lamps, etc.) and images from the projector on the screen or TV flicker. Nothing that can be configured in protune helps. In PAL mode, the lighting lamps stop blinking, but the screens from the projector still flickers in the frame (when shooting children's holidays, for example, or concerts).
Pros
- Excellent picture quality, high quality digital stabilization, ease of use - clear settings. Lots of different modes. Impressions and emotions are only positive. I would also like to note a huge number of different additions, mounts that can be purchased.
Cons
- The weak side is the battery, you need to buy additional ones to change on the fly or use power banks, as well as software for Windows, which cannot be installed without shamanism, and a mobile application that does not work with all Chinese smartphones. Weak equipment.
Pros
- TIME CHANGE VIDEO + SUPER PHOTO: Capture ultra-stabilized time-lapse video as you move through the scene. Accelerate up to 30x to turn longer activities into sharing moments. Get the best photos automatically. With Super Photo, HERO7 Black intelligently applies HDR, local tone mapping or noise reduction to enhance your shots.
Cons
- There are other interesting options.
