Highlights
Why it stands out
Major Upgrade
Built-in storage for emergencies
You can start filming immediately without an SD card, and you have a backup if your card fails.
Best-in-Class
Front screen for perfect framing
The bright, color-accurate front display means you'll know exactly what you're recording in selfie mode.
Insane 4K 120fps slow-mo
Capture ultra-smooth, detailed slow-motion action without dropping to a lower resolution.
Rock-solid horizon lock
Even if you tumble, your footage stays level, making it idiot-proof for high-action shots.
Game Changer
Pre-record so you never miss
It's constantly buffering, so you can capture the moment *before* you hit record.
Pros & Cons
The good and the bad
Pros
- Shoot in near-darkness with a high ISO and dedicated SuperNight video mode.
- Go deep (60m with case) without bulky housing, perfect for serious divers.
- Four-hour rated battery life means you can film an entire event on a single charge.
- Wi-Fi 6 ensures faster, more reliable wireless transfers to your phone.
- Shoot vertical video natively with subject tracking, ready for social media.
Cons
- Digital zoom only (max 2x) – you're cropping the sensor, losing quality.
- Stabilization gets gimped in best modes: no EIS in slow-mo/timelapse, and top HorizonSteady is only 1080p/2.7K.
- Bulky for an action cam – the 155° lens and dual screens add size and weight (146g).
- No high-frame-rate 4:3 video, limiting creative flexibility for reframing in post.
