Many casual photographers have been wanting to dip their toes into the GoPro water for some time, but have found the company’s tiny but high-quality cameras too expensive to make the leap at upwards of $200, with the top models costing as much as $500.
But now they can go ahead and jump in; GoPro just announced the “Hero,” a scaled-back, entry-level model that’s perfect for first-time GoPro-ers who don’t need the top-of-the-line features found in GoPro’s flagship cameras. And the cost? Only $129.
Here’s what the Hero features:
- 1080p video at 30fps
- 720p video at 60fps
- 5MP stills at up to five frames a second
- QuickCapture and Burst Photo modes
- Wide-angle lens for getting more in your shots
- Integrated waterproof housing that keeps your Hero dry to an advertised 131 feet
Interestingly, GoPro’s entry-level Hero comes at a pretty terrible time for Polaroid — yes, Polaroid — which just dropped a $99 entry-level GoPro competitor called the Polaroid Cube.
