For me it isn't and if you compare it to the two main rivals (Ace Pro and Action 4), you'll notice this camera has the worst low light performance out of the three. And this isn't surprising because it has the same image quality as the Hero 12, which was essentially an updated Hero 11.

[@Erisponsibility]

Unfortunately sometimes you have no choice. I recently got caught in a thunderstorm in the mountains and needed to switch to a gopro because of the water resistance but the low shutterspeed and noise level were definitely an issue (and some of insta360's alternatives would've probably done better)

[@ruicosta3396]

@@Erisponsibility I agree with you 💯%. The issue here is that considering the amount of noise you have in the shadows, when you have an overcast day (that could give you amazing videos, hyperlapses, etc.) this camera will deliver an image bordering on unusable.

[@korbovlog]

You can't get bigger sensor without focus be somewhere behind You if You hold it in the hand. (It's already a bit behind You). So sensor size and lens size is a spot on right now. There's a lack of better processing if I can guess.

I think they missed the mark on this again... Sure, different lens options is a nice to have option, but realistically most people don't want that. Most people just want a better camera. Better quality, better dynamic range, etc. I feel like the quality of it didn't look any better than previous versions, and the distortion on the edges of the frame is still really bad. I want them to improve the distortion and the quality.

GoPro 11 when they introduced the 8:7 Image Sensor. That was really new and useful.

[@georget10i]

GoPro may be in trouble because GoPro Hero is their whole lifeline and it seems like they have hit the ceiling of innovation. What could they add? What feature? They can add a 1"-type sensor, but then the close up will be limited. In comparison, DJI Osmo Action is just another offering in DJI's diverse product line, so they are fine, and they are pressing forward.

[@IanMustafa]

6:28 the reason of Bluetooth audio through GoPro directly is lower than the full quality is, well, it's Bluetooth audio. it uses a lower-quality profile (HSP and HFP) to be able to send audio as an input, since the highe-quality profile like A2DP and AVRCP can only receive audio output, albeit with better quality (higher codec and bandwidth). it also happens to all Bluetooth headsets afaik; when you switch to handsfree mode (i.e for calling) while also listening to some audio in the background, the quality drops

[@bucharestbiketraffic]

dji is king!

[@lothaire.m3]

The hate is crazy, I've been using the GP10 since it came out in cold winter days and hot summer days and it never overheated and I never lost any footage so for me all I see on yt is comparisons where the GoPros have better image quality and dynamic range in daylight and much better slowmo but get hate because low light isn't great. Maybe I didn't get it and it's better to spend $400 to shoot at night with a camera better than a GoPro but way worse than the phone in my pocket but personally I prefer to pick the action cam that is better when I do action. And all I see is that the new GP13 improves that, but once again maybe I'm crazy and should be shot down because omg I'm not hating like everyone else on a product that I haven't tried but like to use previous model.

[@GordonMoat]

It’s a few people shorting the stock, and some shills for DJI. Don’t think GoPro will sell more than the usual 4 million annual units, though I’m likely to be a purchaser.

[@joshpit2003]

Agreed. All of the modern action cams are great, and yet they all have issues. The "over-heating" and "crashing" GoPro is completely over-blown and repeated with no merit. All of these cams over-heat in similar settings. Sure, one may last 5% longer, but give me a break. However, there is merit to the claim of poor low-light performance from GoPro, but as you pointed out, that claim is over-blown because: 1. action-cams are rarely used in low-light and 2: All of these cams have issues in low light. Ace Pro has focus issues, where everything at arms-length or less is soft. Action 4 has occasional stability issues and a lack of anything above 4K is not ideal for re-framing). All three of the cameras are great, and perfectly capable of achieving great image quality. This constant GoPro hate is stupid, just as it would be stupid to start constant DJI or Insta hate.

[@lothaire.m3]

@@joshpit2003 Yes absolutely but the issue is that nowadays most tech reviewers are sponsored by the big companies like Dji or Insta360 or they receive thousands of $ worth of product for free from this companies so when they have to buy the GoPro to do a comparison against a dji cam that they got for free when they received for free Dji's latest top of the line drone how can it be fair? Even if they were doing test made for action cam it would be biased so it's even worse since they don't and test them like they would test a phone or a regular camera. And that's how we end with this much hate against a product that is just not used correctly or for what it's purposely built for, and that we now have most comments being hate messages on videos from creators who makes great videos using GoPro because they must suffer from the hate trend too since they use "the bad" cameras.

In fact, I use a 3rd party software "Multi-View HD Pro 2" to review multiple camera angles all simultaneously and in complete sync, to either make a presentation or do rough-cut editing without having to render or make proxies before going to post.

[@CartyCantDance]

GoPro did not impress. Even the 8 bit on the insta360 cameras looks better at this point….

[@dynamicphotography_]

For die hard GoPro enthusiasts, this is a death sentence. And there's two reasons. The first reason is we already have all these different attachments and lenses and stuff from third parties. DieHard enthusiasts have already been using them. The second reason, and this is probably the most important reason. Die hard enthusiasts already have a large collection of Enduro batteries. And GoPro decided to change the size on the 13. They did that to sell more batteries. They're going to make more off batteries, then the actual 13 camera. That right there is the death sentence. I carry eight batteries for one day's worth of filming. If I was to buy seven more batteries for the 13, that's more money than the actual camera itself. I'm not doing it. Neither is my peers. We're sticking to the 12. We already have the extra lenses. A lot of us already have magnets. And a lot of us carry up to eight batteries. Goodbye GoPro. Not doing the 13.

[@innerchie]

Last Go Pro I had was an 11. After using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, I'm going to switch over to DJI and looking forward in seeing what the Action 5 has instore. Low light capabilities is a must when I shoot so hoping the Action 5 will deliver. If not, I'll hold off for a 1 inch sensor action cam in the future.

[@Metalfreakz17]

no point at having another gopro in a drone, just waiting for a dji o4 , that should be the future of FPV , less weight, more flight time, less batteries to charge and we can frame the shot while we fly.

the auto detection of lenses & filter is something nice, and slow motion up to 400fps is interesting. however the low night capability and lack of 1-inch sensor is disappointment.

@Potato Jet - Is the anamorphic 1.33x or 1.55x?

[@christophergrace1085]

I think the $199 camera is the better option based on all this. The extra lenses are cool, but idk if it's worth it. It seems a lot of this is software improvements. With how much cell camera has improved, and all the other options for small cameras GoPro needed to do more hardware improvements. I'd love to see more...

The anamorphic footage looks great

wow Carrie is a cameraman now. She earnin'

[@DennisSchmitz]

They really need to add a bigger sensor. GoPro's colorscience is top notch especially in Log, also great is the complete absence of sharpening in your log footage shown. But man low light is just awful. Waiting for another year to upgrade or hoping that DJI can finally fix their color and processing with the Action 5, would love to see full DJI D-Log.

I wonder if the GoPro Hero 13 Black is better than Insta360 Ace Pro? Cause I just bought her... Thanks! Great video!

[@draGTAgan]

What should I do? I just recently bought a 12 black.=) it's a cool innovation that gopro is pushing new lenses, but about slowmo, my phone poco v1 shoots 960 frames in 1080

The fact there isnt no actual twsts of overheating or battery life tells me the battery prob isnt that much better and that overheating is still a issue. So yet another year, Another bust for gopro.
