The forthcoming GoPro Hero 12 Black, the successor to the Hero 11 Black, has made an early appearance online, revealing some exciting improvements and retaining the camera's beloved compact design. While the overall form factor remains consistent, there are subtle cosmetic changes, notably the introduction of blue-colored speckles on the camera body.
The camera's image sensor continues to be a 27MP 1/1.9-inch sensor, ensuring high-quality captures. The Hero 12 Black excels in video recording, capable of capturing stunning 5.3K videos at 60fps with the added support of HDR (High Dynamic Range) for breathtaking visuals.
One of the most compelling aspects of this new GoPro is the inclusion of innovative features designed to enhance the user experience. HyperSmooth 6.0 stabilization promises ultra-smooth footage, while Horizon Lock ensures level and stable shooting, even when the camera is subject to motion and tilting. HyperView is another exciting addition, enhancing the camera's display and user interface.
Although the battery capacity remains the same, it offers slightly longer usage times, with the ability to record up to 70 minutes of 5.3K video at 60fps and an impressive 2.5 hours for Full HD (FHD) video recording.
The GoPro Hero 12 Black is expected to become available for purchase on September 13, with a price point set at EUR 449. As this new iteration of the popular action camera prepares to hit the market, it promises to elevate the world of action photography and videography with its enhanced capabilities and user-friendly features.
