HERO12 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 27MP Photos, HDR, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

You can't go wrong with these cameras. It does all the job and it doesnt really matter what activity you are doing. I was using GoPro to document my running adventures - no regrets. High quality, easy to use, good battery life. You can't say much negative about these cameras, maybe the price is on the higher end.

Amazing

Super camera. easy to use. Like the on and off button on top. Excellent picture and sound.

Absolutely awesome quality pictures and videos. Relatively easy to use and the only real downside is that as it’s so small, it’s difficult to see what you’re doing if, like me, you need reading glasses to see stuff and you’re using the camera without your glasses. I use mine mostly for sea swimming so my solution is to stick my glasses down inside my swimming costume just in case lol

I purchased the GoPro 12 Black on the very first day of its release, eager to discover any significant differences from my trusty 11 Black. Here are my takeaways: 1. Speedy Menus and Responsiveness: Gone are the lags and delays. The menus are now fast and responsive. 2. Carry Case Absence: Unfortunately, GoPro doesn't include a carry case, which can be disappointing if you don't already have one. 3. 1/4" Mounting Addition: The addition of a 1/4" mounting option at the bottom is a welcome feature. However, if you're already invested in the GoPro ecosystem, you probably have numerous backward-compatible items with the standard GoPro mounting mechanism. Picture Quality: In bright daylight, there's a negligible difference in picture quality between the 11 and the newly released 12 Black. Details are represented similarly in standard mode. GP-Log: GP-Log seems pretty much useless, as it's challenging to grade and not particularly useful. HDR: The HDR mode is decent, but the reproduction of details in bright areas appears somewhat artificial to me. Dark areas are slightly lifted compared to standard mode. However, you're limited to a frame rate of 30, and you can only shoot at certain ratios – there's no open gate 8:7 (entire sensor readout). Voice and Earphone Controls: While I haven't tested these features yet, the addition of voice control and earphone control is a welcome addition to the GoPro family. Low-Light Performance: Unfortunately, there hasn't been any noticeable improvement in low-light performance compared to the Hero 11. Picture Brightness: The pictures are bright, and detail reproduction is okay, but subpar with newly released smartphones. Can be used as a whole but when cropped the fall of details is significant. Hypersmooth 6.0: I couldn't discern any substantial difference between Hypersmooth 6.0 and 5.0 from the Hero 11. Autoboost: Autoboost is a nice feature that dynamically adjusts the strength of the Hypersmooth stabilization. It's particularly useful for those engaging in dynamic sports. The product itself is solid and well-made, with slightly improved responsiveness. However, I did encounter a camera crash during the initial firmware update, which was perilously close to bricking itself. Thankfully, a manual update via SD card resolved the issue. In summary, if you can find a used Hero 11 Black on sale or a promotional offer for around £300-350, it might be a better choice. Otherwise, if you're in the market for a new GoPro, the 12 Black is a viable option. In my opinion, it should be named the GoPro 11 Black S, as the improvements make it feel like a patched version of the 11 Black. For low light it is still a no-go(pro), Action 4 could be a better option for you.

Maybe a bit expensive but i love my go pro, i got so many great moments and memories captured with these little thing, i got the helmet the handle bar and chest harness attachments and the quality the ease of use and water resistance are amazing

Thai came in good time, well packaged, needed a order number which was good for security and ensuring it was delivered to the correct person, the go pro looks well nice and was easy to put together with instructions that is easy to follow for all, I can’t wait to get started on the use of it, I did have a little go and the image looks amazing

I wanted a good quality, small, point and shoot camera and asked for the Hero 12 as a birthday gift. BIG MISTAKE !!! This might be unfair to the camera as there may be some settings that I am missing, but who knows. The "manual" that comes with the camera is ABYSMAL and I have yet to find any online versions that are better. Life is too short to spend many hours watching YouTube videos of geeks with their hats on backwards in an effort to find out what is required to make this camera perform basic functions. The classic example is that, on video, the unit is hyper-sensitive to wind noise. I have found online "fixes" for other versions of the camera but there is no access to the correct audio menu to be found in the Hero 12. The advice given in the manual to set basic pre-sets, like a zoom control, do not work ??? All in all, a GREAT disappointment !!
