GoPro really had to step up its game if it wanted to remain at the top of the action cam pile, and the Hero5 Black is a great reminder of why the name is so revered. The camera is simple to use, yet remains a very powerful tool, while the addition of a rear touchscreen, voice control and GPS make it...

Voice-activated camera controls; Improved video and image quality; Easy-to-use range of editing apps; Waterproof to 10m/33ft without a case; Refined design

Doesn't feel as sturdy as previous gen; Touchscreen fiddly to use in the wet; Editing on desktop still clunky

With the Hero5 Black, GoPro is selling more than a camera. It's a solution for shooting, editing and sharing video nearly anywhere. Whether that's done at the beach, on a mountain or in your backyard is up to you.

Battery life, especially with GPS, Wi-Fi and EIS on, is predictably short and the camera is not compatible with older batteries; Auto upload feature only works with GoPro's $5/month Plus service; Linear field of view and electronic image stabilization not available at all resolutions and frame rates
