GoPro Hero 4: Specs, Features, Price Overview - Will the New Hero 4 Be a Game-Changer?
GoPro has become the go to camera for adventurers, professionals, and the film industry as the company has continued to expand its brand by releasing new cameras, with the latest model—the GoPro Hero 4—set for release sometime in 2015. The specs and features of the device have been leaking out for months, and the camera is expected to be a game-changer in photography.
The Hero 4, just like its predecessors, is a wearable sports camera that is compact and portable. The difference between a GoPro and an ordinary camera is its battery life, which can record up to two and a half hour of footage.
The GoPro Hero 4 will capture videos and photos at a resolution of 4K. According to Outside Online, this latest development could mean the beginning of the end of the 1080p video, which has long been the standard of HD for the past three years. The Hero 4 can also record videos at a low resolution, which will increase the frame rate.

There are rumors that the Hero 4 will come with a 13MP photo sensor, which will enable users to take videos or photos in dark or poorly lit areas.
The camera is expected to be waterproof for taking shots underwater, and according to Fuse Joplin, the device may come with support for different file formats such as MP, MJPEG, BP, HP Level 5.1 and H.264.
The Hero 4 will reportedly come in two variants: the Hero 4 Silver edition that has the same resolution options as the Hero 3+ and will start at $399, and the Hero 4 Black with the 4K resolution and will cost $500.
