Action camera brand GoPro announced a new camera "HERO 10 Black". This product is the 10th generation of the series, but I would like to explain how much it has evolved from the previous model and what kind of position it is in the GoPro lineup. The latest model HERO10 Black, which has evolved shooting ability, has improved shooting performance for movies and photos. First, it is possible to shoot movies at 5.3K resolution / 60fps. It also supports shooting at 120 fps for 4K resolution and 240 fps for 2.7K resolution. 2.7K resolution can be selected for slow motion shooting. The resolution for photography has also improved to 23 million pixels. The built-in chip that is the brain of GoPro has been renewed to "GP2 processor", and the video algorithm has evolved. This has improved the shooting ability in a low light environment. The in-camera stabilization function that reduces camera shake has also been upgraded to "Hyper Smooth 4.0". Handling of shooting files is also convenient, and automatic uploading to your GoPro cloud account is possible while the camera is charging. It also supports wireless transfer from the camera to the editing app "Quik". If you use a wired connection via USB, the transfer speed is more than 50% faster than the wireless connection. What is the merit of switching from the previous model "HERO9 Black" to the HERO10 Black, which is powerful for indoor and night photography? The HERO10 Black has improved dark shooting and stabilization capabilities, so you'll be able to experience the difference when shooting indoors or outdoors at dusk to night. Even HERO9 Black can shoot movies at 5K resolution / 30fps, so it should be enough for general usage. The HERO10 Black and HERO9 Black are almost the same in terms of body size and weight, and the design with a touch screen on the back and a 1.4-inch color display on the front remains the same. On the other hand, the "Voice Launch" feature that launches GoPro with voice commands on the HERO9 Black has been removed from the HERO10 Black. If you are using this feature for remote shooting, you need to find an alternative before switching. Max has a unique personality GoPro has a lineup of cameras called "MAX" in addition to the HERO series. The MAX, which is vertically longer than the HERO series, is equipped with dual lenses in the front and rear, making it possible to shoot 360 degrees around at once. By installing a high-performance microphone, it is a model that can be used as a next-generation Vlog camera by itself. In the first place, the HERO series cannot shoot 360 degrees, so it is difficult to use it as a substitute for MAX. The HERO9 Black is equipped with a front display, and although the HERO series has expanded its range of uses as a Vlog camera, MAX will continue to remain in the lineup as a unique model. The HERO 10 Black that appeared this time can be said to be a minor update model whose main change is the improvement of internal performance. Of course, if you want the best shooting results, you can choose HERO 10 Black, but the latest model is reasonably expensive, so you want to choose the model that suits your usage.Sentence / Naoki Tsukamoto
