GoPro HERO4 Revealed! 4K Video at 30FPS and the First Built-In Touch Display

I'd love to see some side-by-side cave footage with a Hero 2, 3, 3+, and 4 (all top models) and see what their "new&improved low light" stuff does. The highlight feature seems really cool. This is clearly evolutionary, but I don't mind that. One thing that DOES bug me is the 40m depth limit. It said you can use "all old GP accessories" but I'm wondering if that meant the mount was the same or if you can use the GP4 in the GP3 case for added depth limit.

Two words, BATTERY LIFE?

The real question is will it be worth upgrading. The built-in screen of the Silver version would be nice for diving but without WB options, it will be less capable than a 3+ Black which you can control WB. And with the exception of the 4K30 video rate, what's the benefit of the 4 over the 3+?

I wonder if my touch back will fit the 4? Will it be worth upgrading?

 

[MB NZ]

yes, if the hero 4 black isn't compatible with the existing LCD backpac, then i'm not going to be interested in using it for underwater work.

I just bought a 200m waterproof case (Recsea) for $400 AUD so for .me to upgrade it would need to fit that case. I hope it does

I think all point to it being comparable to the dive housing

Yes, the dive housing for HD3 is compatible with HD4

The Silver sounds ideal for diving. LCD is just useful.

As for 4K, Youtube isn't ready for everyone, and your home TV/Computer/Monitor most likely need upgrade as well.
