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
Combining everything great about the Hero4 cameras and then some, the GoPro Hero5 Black is a no-compromise capture device for the ordinary and extraordinary...
Builtin screen, No underwater housing needed down to 30 feet, Image stabilization
No new resolution or bitrate upgrades, No builtin mounting points
The GoPro HERO5 Black has some new features that are very useful. We would have liked to see a better bit rate and more frame rates than what was already possible with the HERO4 Black. However, we did have a good experience and would recommend the GoPro H...

Sharp video and photos, Excellent digital image stabilization, Tough, waterproof design, Extensive voice control system, Logical, helpful interface
Onscreen menus get complex, Images often appear overly warm
The Hero5 Black continues GoPro's reputation for great quality in both photos and video. It now, finally, adds great usability with a clear touch-screen interface and pretty reliable voice control. The Garmin Virb Ultra 30 is an equally strong performer a...

Shoots 4K video, Voice commands work well, Includes electronic image stabilization
Moderate battery life, Tiny display makes menu navigation difficult
The Hero5 Black adds some much-needed features that make it feel like the most mature action camera we've seen yet. That said, some of the additions, like GPS, don't bring too much to the table just yet. Overall, though, it's an improved experience co...
Both cameras are waterproof without cases. Excellent touchscreen on the Hero5 Black, finally. Voice controls are neat. Best in class image at the resolution you'll use most. Hero5 Session is much improved
GPS doesn't do much yet. Recording indicator on the Hero5 Black is too dim. Cameras are not as sharp in 4K
