The audio is now much clearer and louder, especially because it is no longer getting muffled by a waterproof case. The sound quality is particularly better, courtesy the dual microphones and the improved noise-wind reduction. Unlike the Hero 5 Black, it does not possess the RAW export feature. Colors are vibrant, but many users have found the images to be lacking in finer details. You can now click 10 MP stills with the added option of 30 photos per second in burst mode. The low-light performance is slightly poorer than the Black model, but it’s still good enough. In addition to Wide and Medium modes, Superview, Linear and Narrow fields of view are available too. It comes with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) which does a great job in negating camera shakes. It can record 4K at 30 fps and 2.7K at 48 fps, and tops out at 60 fps for 1440p, 90 fps for 1080p and 120 fps for 720p. One of the major improvements that the Hero 5 Session boasts of is the 4K video recording capability. GoPro, however, claims that you can get a full charge via the USB Type-C cable in just over an hour. Unfortunately, the Hero 5 Session comes with a non-removable 1000 mAh battery, which implies you cannot carry spare ones during travel. The Hero 5 Session, like its Hero 4 counterpart and Hero 5 Black, is waterproof up to a depth of 10 meters so you do not need to use a waterproof case if you are simply going to the pool. So you will need to shell out a few bucks more to buy a SD card (it supports memory card up to 128 GB). Not surprisingly, the budget model doesn’t come with internal memory. There’s also another button for switching shooting modes at the back. It has a monochrome display on top along with the Record button. The design is simple, cube-shaped, weighing no more than 74 grams. A detailed review of the latter will clearly demonstrate why it is considered a benchmark entry-level GoPro in the market currently. It’s, therefore, understandable why the Hero 4 Session is rated so poorly, especially now that the Hero 5 Session has come to the market. The former now has a 10 MP sensor (Hero 4 Session has 8 MP), high bitrate of 60 Mb/s (as opposed to 25 Mb/s in Hero 4 Session), voice control feature and image stabilization (both being absent in Hero 4 Session). Hero 5 Session brought 4K recording to the table, along with several other improvements over the Hero 4 Session. ![]() Vastly improved from its predecessor, the Hero 5 Session now defined the specifications for an entry-level action camera. With their new line of Hero products, they did away with the Silver counterpart to the Black model, and kept only the Session variant as the budget option. Fortunately, GoPro learnt from the experience.
