It doesn't reinvent the action camera, but the Hero 10 Black is a much more user-friendly and refined version of its predecessor, and the most versatile action cam you can buy. The new slow-mo frame rates and wired data transfer modes are useful, while the snappier interface and small image quality improvements make it an enjoyable waterproof companion for adventures and b-roll footage. Its rivals now offer larger sensors and better value, though.

“Don't judge a camera by its housing, this new hero is full of hidden talents.”

Friday 17 September – Today, GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced its new flagship camera, HERO10 Black , which features the company’s new high-performance GP2 processor.
