GoPro Hero4 is now as cheap as Sony HDR-AZ1 - http://clapway.com/2015/12/04/gopro-hero4-is-now-as-cheap-as-sony-hdr-az1/

The GroPro Hero4 mini camera just got its price split in half. The company announced that they are going to be dropping their price of this camera from $399 to $199. This is more than a tiny discount, this is a Black Friday type deal outside of Black Friday! The drop in price now makes it close to the price of the Sony HDR-AZ1, which is a very similar device.

WHAT IS THE GOPRO HERO4?

This device is a tiny camera that allows users to shoot and record videos. The GoPro Hero4 is about the size of a video game memory card. It also only weighs 2.6 ounces so this camera is very small to say the least. This small camera does not lack in resolution, though. It shoots with a resolution of 1080p which is a high definition display. This Hero4 camera is also waterproof of up to 11 yards deep. This camera can be mounted on poles, bikes, helmets, and various other things. PCMag also gave this camera rave reviews and stated that they love it for its simple design and great video quality.

SONY HDR-AZ1 AND GOPRO HERO4 NOW HAVE SIMILAR PRICES

Before this price cut from GoPro, the Sony HDR-AZ1 was way cheaper than the Hero4 and was probably the better choice. However, now that they cut $200 from their price, it is close to the same cost as Sony’s camera. Sony’s camera is very similar, as it is a small camera that produces excellent video quality. Either one of these cameras will be good for purchase now that GoPro decided to reduce the price of their Hero4 camera.

WITH THE GOPRO HERO4 PRICE CUT, IS THERE BLACK FRIDAY SYNDROME?

As mentioned earlier, this announcement sounds like a Black Friday deal. However, the company announced they are cutting the price of their GoPro Hero4 for their own purposes. Well, this was certainly the right move as $200 is a huge difference to pay. Even though Black Friday is done, companies still seem to be unleashing amazing deals.

Why you should be excited about #GoPro #Hero4 Session - http://clapway.com/2015/07/06/gopros-ant-man-hero4-session-is-the-smallest-lightest-camera-223/

GoPro has today unwrapped its next generation Hero4 Session which is so small and light you’ll forget you are carrying it. The camera lives by the saying “less is more”.

GoPro’s Ant-Man

Tiny, yet powerful and waterproof by design, the GoPro Hero4 Session is easy to squeeze in with your extreme sports’ kit, given the smaller proportions.

According to the company, 50% smaller and 40% lighter than other HERO4 cameras, the new addition to the GoPro family is the most wearable and mountable camera ever. “With a sleek, versatile design, it’s at home anywhere—from the surf to the snow, to hanging with friends.”

“With Hero4 Session, we challenged ourselves to produce the smallest, lightest, most convenient GoPro possible,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro founder and CEO. “Hero4 Session combines the best of our engineering and user-experience know-how to deliver our most convenient life-capture solution, yet.” Woodman added.

This is the most compact action camera the company has come out with. GoPro Hero4 Session is equipped with a rugged outer casing, removing the need for and additional case to be used. It will be available to purchase from July 12th 2015.

New features of the GoPro Hero4

According to the company, GoPro Hero4 Session comes with tailor-made designed mounts and accessories that work flawlessly with other GoPro gear. This will give customers “more mounting options than ever”.

GoPro Hero4 allows photographers to choose from a variety of photo modes, ranging from 8MP single photos, Time Lapse photos at set intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds, and Burst photos at 10 frames per second.

In terms of controls, GoPro is making things easier for users. The LCD has shifted from the front to the top of the device, and there’s a single button to operate things.

To switch between the resolutions or modes users can rely on the GoPro app, which connects via the camera’s Bluetooth and WiFi connections. There’s also an optional remote control.

Other features include a new dual-microphone system, and a clearer underwater audio. There’s also a feature for versatile photo capture, but no 4K Ultra HD recording.

If when it comes to versatile photo capture, the new GoPro Hero4 Session’s got you covered, due to its smaller size the action camera is not capable of recording 4K Ultra HD videos that can be shot with the company’s higher specification cameras.

The camera is not equipped with a touchscreen for on-camera control or review, either, which therefore requires an extra step. Battery life is a claimed two hours maximum.

Features of the GoPro Hero4 Session, however, include being waterproof to 10m and recording modes for either 1440p @ 30fps or 1080p @ 60fps. The GoPro Hero4 Session is priced at $399.99.
