90% of the advertised features were in the hero 11 already. The other 10% are due to a software update. Amazing inovation.

My Hero 3+ is still going strong. It never overheats. I’ve never loses any footage. An absolute workhorse despite its age.

[salahthesilly]

Never had a GoPro but watched every single introduction video, GoPro keeps impressing!

[DownUpOfficial]

I love GoPro and we can't really do stuff that we do without it. But y'all seriously need to get on updating GoPros lowlight. So many cool shots to be made in the dark. You'd open up a whole new world of creativity 👌

[ManPlusRiver]

Time code sync and battery life are the biggest new features. Been waiting for these!!! (Please don’t overheat!)

[amlinjose]

The video is so well made that I didn't want it to end.

[ifoxino]

this is finally after a long time 1) powerful hardware 2) smart functions 3) battery life 4) pro features 5) super complex video about the device. well done!

[ManPlusRiver]

I REALLY want to get excited about the new features, but I need to know: does it have an anti-overheating feature? GoPro 5 black is still the best GoPro until the newer GoPros can fix the overheating.

[andyjmusic]

The stabilization and horizon lock are bloody awesome! I'm loving this camera

[mike_s_media]

Just seems like they did a firmware update on a Hero 11. Currently use a Hero 8 and 11 as my action cams and both work incredibly well for how I use them! No complaints and honestly I'm quite glad that year over year are minor improvements. Certainly nothing that would warrant a new purchase each year thankfully, that would get expensive and tedious!

[Astrolavista]

The increased battery life is a big plus but damn I was hoping for a larger sensor for better low light. I'll stick with the Hero 11 which has been great to be fare.

[RayMak]

This video is so exciting my heart rate is maxed out from beginning to end. Well done GoPro

[stephenjones]

Improved thermals, HDR, and Bluetooth are really nice enhancements, but I would really like to see go pro challenge cell phones on low light performance. I'm hoping the 13 will bring a larger sensor.

[josiahmos]

The number one thing we all wanted was a larger sensor and we did not get it. Better battery efficiency and HDR are nice features, but not enough to stop me from feeling disappointed.

I miss Gopro's old style of launch / reveal videos. Nothing beats the Hero 4 black launch. What a video, even today.

[RobHK]

The max lens mod should be included in the box 🤷‍♂

[ScoutBobrman]

Just got my first ever GoPro HERO12. Can't wait to learn and create!

[KideoGames]

i bought GoProHero 10 Black and you know what they did't even work for 30 min and too much heated issue.

[MrZACATECANO]

I’m a GoPro fan, and was planning to upgrade my hero 5 with the 12. But after comparisons with DJI, I’ll wait till the 13 comes out. If no 1” sensor comes out and overheating I’ll be switching to competitors products. GoPro is on its 12 action camera and DJI on its 4 action camera and they winning the game this year. STEP UP YOUR GAME GOPRO, YOU BROUGHT OUT THE ACTION CAMERA FIRST.

[airsoftcamman]

I'd rather Gopro worked on heat management at higher resolutions and other bugs on previous models than a new camera every year.
