Yes, those numbers are correct.

If you take a look at the tech specs of the new GoPro Hero4 Black Edition camera, and then give us a call to point out some mistakes we made in the numbers, because you simply don't believe them, we won't be entirely shocked. The new Hero4 Black is the most advanced camera GoPro has made, and it boasts capture capabilities that rival cameras that cost ten times as much. The 4 is an eye-popping evolution of the already-impressive Hero3+ camera, and that's where engineers started when they really wanted to knock it out of the park, and then some.


The Hero3 and the 3+ were incredibly capable cameras, indeed, but the new Hero4 generation takes things to the next level. A lot has changed, but some basics haven’t, such as the overall dimensions of the camera. Exterior dimensions of the camera itself and its cases are all virtually unchanged. The Hero's fantastic, wide-angle, six-element aspherical lens (f/2.8-6.0) also remains unchanged, ensuring the same stunning clarity and scope of your photos and videos, at virtually any light level, as we came to expect from the 3. Three field of view settings — ultra-wide, medium, and narrow — grant you an unmatched selection of perspectives.


And for those lower light conditions, GoPro introduces new Night Photo and Night Lapse long-exposure imaging modes. Those mesmerizing time-lapse pictures of the stars trailing through a dark sky, or the rivers of headlights and taillights that form when capturing an urban scene at night? They're yours to take now. Customizable settings for exposures of up to 30 seconds — whether taken individually or in Time Lapse mode for successive hours or exposures — mean you can capture an almost unlimited range of time-lapse events with the utmost precision.


Also new to the Hero4 is its sound-capturing abilities. GoPro fielded feedback from audiophiles and everyday users alike to fine-tune the Hero's microphone, which now captures far greater fidelity and boasts almost double the dynamic range of the 3's mic, so no sound will go undetected — at least, to us humans. Whatever it is you want to hear, see, or edit, however, you can now do it all even easier, as the Hero4 now adds Bluetooth capability alongside its WiFi connectivity for fast and efficient utilization of the GoPro Smart Remote, App, and other devices and software.


Speaking of editing and playback functionality, the Hero4 introduces a new feature called HiLight Tag that you're going to wonder how you lived without. HiLight Tag allows, well, highlight tagging, enabling you to now mark particularly important photos or footage as you're capturing them, making them easier to find later for sharing, playback, or editing. GoPro also improved its ProTune interface for the Hero4, making it now functional for both photo and video. ProTune allows fast and easy manipulation of color settings, ISO limits, exposure settings, and lots more when you're cycling through or editing what you've captured. It's another improvement that will spoil you and leave you wondering how you dealt without it before. A new Auto Low Light mode quickly and readily compensates for dim situations, and, when things are getting nutty, or when milliseconds count, a new feature called QuikCapture allows you to power-up the camera and start capturing via a single-button.


You'll notice that the Black edition of the Hero4 doesn't come with the less-expensive Silver edition's fancy new LCD touchscreen. Why's that? It's too powerful. Seriously. The entirely new processor of the Black edition is so much faster and more powerful than its already-amazing Silver processor that the LCD screen couldn't keep up. That's what happens when you push the envelope — sometimes, you hit walls that even a company like GoPro knows wouldn't be cost-effective for its customers to try to break through.


Then again, the capability that the new processor affords (plus the fact that you can still buy the add-on BacPac Touch Screen separately) something we think the hardcore GoPro-ers out there won't complain about. Ready for the numbers? 4000p resolution at 30 frames per second. Let that sink in for a minute. Also available: 2700p at 50fps, or 1080p at 120fps. Again, cameras that usually boast these figures jump up into $5000 price range. The fact that you can get them in an ultra-compact, 2.6-ounce, durable, action-ready, mountable camera for a fraction of that is nothing short of miraculous.


The new GoPro Hero4 Black Edition comes in one color and has Micro-HDMI, Micro-SD, USB, 3.5mm Stereo, and composite audio/video functionality. Its software is compatible with Mac OSX as early as 10.5, and Microsoft Windows as early as Vista 7. Included in the package is the following: Hero4 Black Edition Camera, 131ft/40m waterproof housing, interchangeable Skeleton (opens for better cable access and cooling) and Touch (waterproof and touch-sensitive) Backdoors for the housing, a rechargeable Li-ion battery, 1 quick-release buckle, 1 vertical quick-release buckle, 1 curved and 1 flat adhesive mount, a three-way pivot arm, and a USB charging cable. It does not include a memory card (MicroSD Class 10 or higher is required, supportable up to 64GB).
