B&H jumped the gun and revealed GoPro’s three
new cameras. The company is back to a three tier scheme marked by colors. The GoPro Hero7 Black is the top
model with 4K at 60fps video capture. The most important addition here is
HyperSmooth video stabilization, which promises “gimbal-like” smoothness. The
camera’s 12MP sensor can capture 30fps photo bursts and RAW photos. There’s a
SuperPhoto Auto HDR feature as well.
The Black model offers high bandwidth video capture
– up to 78Mbps in 4K/60 – and is the only one here that has an external mic
input and a removable battery. Live streaming is exclusive to the Black as
well.
The GoPro Hero7 Silver has a 10MP sensor and it tops
out at 4K at 30fps, also it has regular video stabilization. A feature
available on all three models is vertical portrait mode for an Instagram
Stories kind of aesthetic. The GoPro Hero7 White is the basic model. It uses the same 10MP
sensor, but tops out at 1080p at 60fps.
As we said, B&H jumped the gun so the pricing
info is not available yet, we’ll update the article when the new GoPros launch
in earnest.
