GoPro, which has since established itself as the best sports camera brand in the world, has since cut down its line into three spectacular action cameras worthy of the brand: the Hero4 Black, the Hero4 Silver and the Hero Session. Even with the choices whittled down, it's still hard to pick the best sports camera and get your money's worth.
As such, which of the three GoPro action cameras is better bang for your buck? Here's the roundup of everything you need to know about the GoPro Hero4 Black, the GoProHero 4 Silver and the GoPro Hero Session: specification and features, special upgrades, price details and more.
[COMPARISON] Specifications and features; Which is better?
First, the GoPro Hero4 Session, which is currently the cheapest one in the range. Of the three, it has the lowest specs, but that is not to say these aren't decent. While it doesn't have 4K video support, it does have 1440p video and sports an 8MP camera. It's also waterproof without a case, which makes it more preferable to sportsy and water athletes over its siblings.
The GoPro Hero4 Black, on the other hand, sports 4K/UHD video capabilities, which immediately bumps it up a few notches. It's water-resistant, albeit heavier and bulkier, but its 12 MP specs more than make up for its physical liabilities. The GoPro Hero 4 Black also packs an LCD touch screen which makes it easier to use and control. All in all, it's quite a heavyweight in the specs department.
Last but not the least, the GoPro Hero 4 Silver, which shares a lot of its specs with the GoPro Hero Session. It's able to record 4K and 2.7K video resolutions, as well as a more reliable 1080p. It also has a touchscreen and can boast better video and photo quality over the GoPro Hero Session, but the downside is that it still needs housing to be waterproof.
