The camera is outstanding.Being my first gopro5 i love how it gave me such an Wide angle view maybe i was expecting the picture quality to be better but thats the best you get in a Action cam packed with many other features.voice commands are awesome.

We purchased this as a gift for our son, he said the functionality is great and the small size makes it perfect for filming while participating in physical activities such as snowboarding or running. The one draw back is the camera does not come with any accessories or a case.

This is a neay little sports camera. It is my first and I purchased it for my upcoming trip to Cambodia. After testing it out from day time to night I have to say this little device packs quite a punch in terms of video quality. It has iso setting up to 6400.

I had the GoPro hero 4 silver and I loved it. I wanted to upgrade so I decided to get the hero 4 black. Best decision every. Super easy to use, and it had has amazing picture quality. The video is even better because of the new video stabilization.

Easy to use; Great video

i bought this as an early christmas present to myself to snap shots of the kids the pictures are exceptional look really professional

Had a GoPro Hero 3 Black previously and upgraded to this one. It has been a worthy upgrade with lost of excellent new features such as now having a built i n screen, waterproof without a case and also smooth 4k recording.

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.

The GoPro Hero5 Black is a true flagship camera with all the shooting options from its predecessor plus raw and wide dynamic range photo capture and linear field of view video; a touchscreen; a waterproof body; GPS; electronic image stabilization; stereo audio; voice control; the option for auto...

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

GoPro has reigned as king of the action camera , and shows no sign of abdicating the throne with the Hero5 series. The Hero5 Black is the company's latest flagship action cam, and it adds a handful of new tricks to the Hero4 Black like waterproofing without a case and a built-in touch screen.

Waterproof without a case; Built-in touch screen; Tons of shooting modes; Excellent video quality

Battery can drain quickly, especially with the touch screen running; No external mic support without an adapter

The Hero5 Black is a proper successor to the Hero4, and it's worth the upgrade.

Rugged and waterproof without housing; Great photo and video quality; Responsive touchscreen; Three stereo mics; with noise canceling; Voice control

Battery life remains the same; Requires some new accessories

Going on holiday is always the perfect time to test out an action camera such as the GoPro Hero 5 Black. So when I booked in two weeks in Vietnam, I figured it would be opportune to break out what I initially described as GoPro's "best camera to date" for another spin.

Superb image quality; Effective electronic image stabilisation; Great microphones; Waterproof without a case (to 10m; Additional still image functions; Improved design

Old batteries incompatible; No EIS in 4K; Poor touchscreen responsiveness
