  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
    • Standardized Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
  • General
    • Brand: GoPro
    • Model Number: CHDHS-101
    • Product Name: HERO4 Session HD Waterproof Action Camera
    • Color: Black
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 3264 x 2448 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Image Stabilization: None (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Display
    • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
  • Storage
    • Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
  • Compatibility
    • Memory Card Compatibility: microSD (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
  • Features
    • Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
    • Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
  • Connectivity
    • Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
    • Output(s): USB 2.0
    • Number of USB Port(s): 1

Q: which one is better to buy ? hero 4 or the new mini one ??

A: Depends on your needs... I love the Hero 4 sessions because it's very compact but very powerful. Here's my review on it... This camera has been a dream. I'm an action news photojournalist and push this camera to it's limits in every way... light/dark, heat/cold, dry/wet. It has come in especially handy when I need to stick a camera under water in hurry. It's become my go-to camera in most situations. As for the reviewer who says "doesn't work most of the time", he/she obviously didn't read the directions. It is a very dependable camera and I'm planning on acquiring more. The new app features allow us to quickly pull 15 & 30 sec clips to post to social media to alert our followers of breaking news situations with quality video from the scene right out of the camera. 100% of this cat rescue footage in this news piece was shot with the GoPro Hero4 Sessions: http://psn911.us/2015/09/01/cat-mini-cooper-rescue/ **no... I have not been paid or asked to do this review, me and my team are just that impressed with it.

Q: How far can you take a picture

A: I just got back from Alaska, and the moose from a distance is clear as clear can be

Q: Is the remote for the HERO4 Silver compatible with the HERO4 Session?

A: GoPro website says this about the Smart Remote ARMTE-002 Long-range remote control for your GoPro. Compatibility: HERO4 Black, HERO4 Silver, HERO4 Session, HERO3+, HERO3, HERO+ LCD

Q: I want a camera to use while snorkeling off Hawaii. Which would be best?

A: The GoPro Session can be used underwater up to 10 yards underwater. The GoPro Session will make the video upright even if it is flipped upside down. The GoPro Session is water proof without the case.

Q: I am racing in a 500meter(250m each leg) inline speed skate event, which camera should I get?

A: I definitely recommend the GoPro Hero Sessions 4. It is a mighty-might of cinematography in my opinion. It's very light and it's compact size should enable you to come up with some creative mounting options.

Q: Can I easily switch between taking pictures and recording video while underwater? Or I should have gotten the Hero+?

A: You can switch fairly easily as long as you don't have gloves on its a very small button on the back of the camera that lets you cycle, I personally have not used the photo mode because it is much easier to grab a still photo from your video, if you are taking alot of still photos I would suggest an underwater camera. I mainly use the Hero for Video and I have a Sony DSC-TX30 for underwater Stills and that takes amazing underwater pictures, It also has a Video mode in which you can click stills simultaneously while videoing although the battery dies pretty fast while taking lots of video so I got the HERO Session for my future videos

Q: Does the sd card come with it?

A: No. Like everything today you must buy it separately.
