Verdict

The GoPro Hero6 BlackGo to product viewer dialog for this item. is a rugged action camera powered by a custom GP1 processor, featuring a 12-megapixel sensor capable of shooting 4K video at 60fps and 1080p slow-motion at 240fps. Main pros include highly upgraded 3-axis digital image stabilization, native waterproofing up to 33 feet (10 meters) without a case, faster 5GHz Wi-Fi transfer speeds, a 2-inch rear touchscreen, and improved dynamic range for HDR photo capture. However, main cons include a high launch price point, limited low-light performance that can result in grainy footage, and poor battery life when recording at maximum 4K resolutions or using intensive stabilization settings.
