#SUPERPHOTO TOS UPGRADE#

Long gone are the days of needing a gimbal for a GoPro. GoPro is also releasing HyperSmooth 4.0, GoPro’s in-body stabilization software, with the Hero10. That is a frame rate boost at every resolution compared to the Hero9, and that 5.3K60 setting is really great for dreamy shots of water or snow flying. The Hero10 can shoot 5.3K video at 60fps, 4K at 120fps, and 2.7K at 240fps. I’ve never viewed a GoPro camera as a photo-first tool, and even with the higher megapixel photos, this camera is best in video mode. Across the board, the photos are punchy in perfect lighting but take on a lot of grain in lower light, even in night mode. There are also four color processing options that range from SuperPhoto for the most in-camera color and contrast processing, to RAW that provides the flattest image for post color work.

The Hero10 takes photos in four modes: live burst, which continuously captures images as you hold down the shutter burst, for a set amount of photos taken in one burst night and standard photo. In a 16:9 frame, the Hero10 can provide up to 15.8-megapixel photos from 5.3K video, where the Hero9 maxed out at 14.7-megapixel photos from 5K.Īlthough this is the same 23.6-megapixel sensor that was used in the Hero9, GoPro claims the GP2 processor can get more out of it. That’s up from 12-megapixel frame grabs in 4K 4:3 video on the Hero9. The Hero10 can grab 19.6-megapixel photos from 5.3K 4:3 video. But with higher resolution screen grabs from the video you don’t have to worry about snapping stills at all. The system is still far from perfect for a quick photo capture. All of that being said, there is still a lag that I find especially annoying when attempting to snap photos.

That speed is also noticeable when stopping a video recording, where the Hero10 is able to save the recorded video faster so you can get back to the live view and menus. I was able to take three HDR photos on the Hero10 before a single photo was done processing on the Hero9. In photo mode, the Hero10 both takes and saves a photo much faster than the Hero9. I also noticed there is a lot less lag on the front screen when actively recording.īut more importantly, the third speed boost, and the most notable one, is that the Hero10 can capture content quicker. In most modes you will now see a 30fps image on that front screen. Second, the front screen now has a higher frame rate, even though it is exactly the same hardware as the Hero9. And for the first time in the Hero lineup, you can plug your GoPro directly into your phone for 50 percent faster uploads to your device via GoPro’s Quik app. This is the first processor change to the Hero lineup since the Hero6 that came out in 2017, and it provides a much needed speed update.įirst, GoPro claims the Hero10 can upload footage to your phone or the cloud 30 percent faster because of the GP2 processor.

Internally the GoPro Hero10 is getting a big upgrade with the new GP2 processor. The rubber button on the side of the camera is for power and mode switching.
