I think the Hero 9 Black is their best GoPro since the update front the Hero 4 silver body style to the Hero 5 grey and then black body style. The Hero 9 is heavier than previous versions, but with the larger sensor and bigger batteries this is expected...

Longer battery life, Front screen, Video / Still quality, Webcam capability
Didn't come with a 5K preset

I would call the GoPro HERO9 a great “two in one”. Not only is it a great action camera that is waterproof and is rugged enough to take hits, but it is also a great vlogging camera that shoots high quality and is really compact. If you are in the market f...
HyperSmooth 3.0 is impressive, Front-facing colour display is a great addition, Great outdoor performance
