GoPro Hero 8 black launched
GoPro has updated its action cameras and has launched the Hero 8 black at $399 USD.
Key features of GoPro Hero 8 black:
Resolution: 4K 60p/50p. Also 2.7k 120p/100p and 1080p 240/200. The HD ie 720p mode is dropped.
Mounting port: There is a built in mounting port. Previous GoPros had to use a mounting frame which used to make it big and make it difficult to put in pocket.
Still photo: You can shoot 12MP still photos with improved HDR: The revamped algorithm is delivers higher detail in action shots.
Hypersmooth 2.0 stabilisation: GoPro calls it radical enhancement to the hypersmooth stabilisation launched in the previous Hero 7 black model. Hypersmooth 2.0 now has multiple levels of stabilization—including Boost—and game-changing in-app horizon leveling.
TimeWarp 2.0: Get that surreal TimeWarp effect you love—now with automatic speed selection. Or just tap to speed it up or slow it down.
LiveBurst: LiveBurst mode captures 1.5 seconds before and after you hit the shutter—so you can pick the perfect shot from 90 still images. Or, share a 3-second 4K video clip.
Improved audio: The microphone is now in the front below the lens and resulted in better audio than before.
GoPro is giving a 32 GB sandisk micro SD card free with the GoPro.
