HERO12 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 27MP Photos, HDR, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

Bought February 2024 direct from Gopro, primarily for snorkeling when on holidays so light usage several weeks of the year. Often problems with overheating which would eat the battery life and then the camera would switch off. Also the camera used battery life 1-2% per day even when switched off, so when I didn't use the camera for a few months in between trips I would have to recharge the battery. On the performance outside of this I recorded very similar footage at the same snorkel site of French angel fish in late 2022 with my old gopro lcd+ and in 2024 with this one. The colours and textures were more true-to-life on the old one with 1080 resolution. My older gopro, one issue was it was slow to download from camera to phone. I thought with a new camera and a new Samsung phone with plenty of memory space bought around the same time this process would be better. If anything it was worse. Downloading anything from camera to the phone took forever. It is supposed to work over a WiFi connection between phone and camera. This process also used a lot of battery so anything over two minutes of 4k footage, the camera would just give up and switch off without completing the download. Then the final straw. I always used with the gopro diving case even for shallow depths. Was out on a boat-trip a week ago, forgot the external case but figured, I can still use this to depth of 33 feet as advertised. This was in the Mediterranean sea snorkelling on the surface with a short floaty grip, so camera never in more than a few feet of water. The menu system started jumping around without me touching anything and then the camera shut down. I could see some condensation on the inside of one of the screens. When I got back to my hotel I did a test to take out the battery, put a bit of tissue in the compartment, closed up and immersed the camera fully in the sink. Checked and tissue was dry so the door was definitely closed. In my opinion there may be a design flaw that water is seeping in somewhere else, maybe through the microphone or the seals around the lcd screens, or maybe on the hinge side of the door? If you read other reviews here and elsewhere, others have had the same problem. Not everyone has had this issue so maybe there was a Quality issue with a batch of cameras made in second half of 2023? On the gopro warranty it says waterproof "as long as the door is closed properly" so if the waterproofing fails, essentially the user is blamed for not closing the door (to the compartment that holds the battery, the sd card and usb-charging port) properly if water damage occurs. Most warranties are only for a year but a camera this expensive should be expected to last for many years, especially with light usage.

Great video quality. Easy to use. Hubby is happy

After my GoPro HERO9 stopped working, I decided to upgrade to the GoPro HERO12 Black, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Here’s my take on this action camera: **Video Quality:** The HERO12 Black truly delivers on its promise of stunning visuals. The 5.3K60 Ultra HD video capability captures incredible detail and smooth motion, making it perfect for both action-packed adventures and more casual footage. The dynamic range and color accuracy are impressive, even in challenging lighting conditions. **Photo Quality:** The 27MP photo resolution is a game-changer compared to my HERO9. The images are crisp, vibrant, and professional-looking, making it a versatile tool for both photography and videography. **Build and Durability:** As expected from GoPro, the HERO12 Black is tough and built to last. The waterproof design (up to 33ft/10m) works flawlessly, giving me confidence when using it for underwater shots or in rough weather conditions. **Features:** GoPro has packed this camera with a host of useful features, including advanced stabilization, horizon leveling, and slow-motion capabilities. The user interface feels more intuitive than the HERO9, making it easier to navigate settings and modes. **Battery Life:** The improved battery life is noticeable. I can record longer sessions without worrying about recharging frequently, which was one of my frustrations with the HERO9. **Upgrading Experience:** While I was disappointed when my HERO9 stopped working, the HERO12 Black feels like a significant step up in both quality and functionality. It’s a worthy replacement that exceeds my expectations. **Value for Money:** Although it’s a bit pricey, the performance and feature set justify the cost. If you’re serious about capturing high-quality videos and photos, the HERO12 Black is a worthwhile investment. **Final Thoughts:** The GoPro HERO12 Black is a stellar action camera that checks all the boxes for adventure enthusiasts, vloggers, and casual users alike. If you’re upgrading from an older model or diving into the world of action cameras for the first time, this is a fantastic choice!
