The Hero Session is water resistant up to 10m, and weighs exactly the same.
That's about it for likeness. Many of the newer features available on the previous models don't exist on the Hero Session. It does not offer voice control, 4K video recording, video stabilisation or auto image upload. It has two different field of view settings and has a smaller sensor size, meaning image quality and low-light performance is weaker.
But it's cheaper than the Hero5 Session and still does what it sets out to do and very well. That's what you can capture using GoPro Fusion, with gimbal-like stabilisation makes footage smooth. It's waterproof to 5m. Better-than-half-price deal on QuietComfort 25 noise cancelling over-ear headphones is sweet music to the ears of bargain hunters again.

I've tried a cheap action camera alternative before getting this GoPro and the difference is clear. I use it mainly inside and need both clear sound and picture in low light settings.
I'm really pleased with the picture quality and the sound, and it was easy to use. Handy to be able to charge it while in use but I wish you didn't have to remove a cover to do that I very nearly lost the cover, I wish it was attached. All-in-all I'm really pleased with it, but have a few minor niggles. This is our 2nd Go-Pro and an upgrade to our Hero3 Black.
Not a replacement, but an addition to our tools. It does everything you would expect, but started returning SD card errors immediately. Go-Pro support indicate that it could be a card issue. So new cards and off to use it at a wedding we found that BOTH our Go-Pros stopped writing to the discs at the same moment.
Another call to Go-Pro support again says SD card issues, despite this never happened with our Hero3. Will new cards help?
They are on order for us to try, but so far the moral is if you get a Go-Pro make sure you get a card type from the approved list. It may not solve the problem, but it should help! Hope the new cards work as the cameras are just so great for action and wide angle work.

There is a strong argument you should save for the Black edition however if you don't need 4K at 30fps or high slow motion at p then the silver is more than enough. With the screen on the back to frame your shot and all the same features you work go wrong. I have 2 of these and use them all the time. Get yourself a 3.
Cheap GoPro prices and deals are our speciality here at TechRadar . Sale items aside, it's often cheaper than the older GoPro Hero 4 Black now too. . UPDATE: This model has now been widely discontinued in the UK and. GoPro HERO4 BLACK: stuntmomfilm.com: Camera & Photo. on a seemingly rare Amazon Lightning deal and was happy to snap up the camara for the deal price.
I've used mine both with the Rode Video Pro and the Micro and both work well. I know this can be an issue and little anti fog strips are available. So many adapters and ways to attach it to so many things. Working our way through many of the options. I was lucky to get this on a seemingly rare Amazon Lightning deal and was happy to snap up the camara for the deal price.
For the amount of use we have got from it and the fantastic images and memories we have captured it has defiantly been worth it. They would work great for the first month, but after some simple usage, would not record properly to the SD card It would record a green, flashing, screen, with distorted audio, and sometimes no audio.
You might be wondering why I've given 5 stars after these issues. Well the GoPro customer support is absolutely outstanding.
Probably the best I've ever dealt with. They get right to the point, and if your problems are unsolvable, have no qualms about sending you a new device in an expedient fashion. The GoPro itself is fantastic, and I love recording fps to get the insanely smooth slow motion effect on the videos once editing.
I'd suggest however, that it only be used for activities, sports, and any action-type moments. Trying to use this to capture to beautiful architecture of a city is not the way to go, as the nature of the fish-eye lens makes the buildings seem too far away, even when up close. May seem pretty obvious, but I learnt the hard way after a trip to Rome! Very expensive for mediocre quaility output.
My first GoPro and kind of disappointed. It handles contrast changes poorly white-outs e.
Won't capture speech at metres. But very sensitive pops and cracks within 5cm. I don't see what all the fuss is about with this brand. Image is no better than Sony mobile phones. Product arrives in term and it was as described. I would recommend the product and the seller. About the camera, display way to small. Battery life poor if you consider there's no big display or lights. The 4k is just great, the camera is so small and robust. That's all i got to say so far I bought this as a present for my husband and then we didn't speak for 10 days as it consumed his every waking hour!
He loves it, it arrived on time, well packaged and was at a great price when I bought it; it's not the most intuitive camera to use but the mobile phone interface works well and this is unlike any camera he currently owns. He's obsessed with time lapse for which this camera is absolutely perfect. First gopro product and it doesn't disappoint. If you're stuck between the black or silver.. Go with the black. It's an action camera so you don't need a screen. Shoots higher, usable frame rate in 4k and the burst mode for pictures is great. Also bought some smatree batteries and they last about 5mins less than the official gopro ones.
I used them in a hot country and never had the problems other people say, camera shutting down etc. I then got a new 4 Black it's a nice upgrade from my old Silver ,i can now go for slow mo rather than I never used the touch screen on the Silver so won't miss that I always use the app for live view,settings and playback. Didn't fancy the 5 as I don't like the idea of no protective outer case. Maybe one day I get the 5 but for now I'm super glad to be back with the 4 they just work!
