INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
GoPro delivered a big refresh of its cameras today with a lot of new product names but not quite as many hardware updates as we&ve seen in
past updates.
The new lineup from GoPro is definitely less confusing from a branding perspective
The Hero7 White, Silver and Black will cost $199, $299 and $399 respectively
Unlike past years, the company will be discontinuing the previous generations rather than just dropping the price
The company did not offer any updates on its Fusion 360-degree camera.
The new cameras ship September 27.

While the White and Silver
models both have a new color palette, they both have lost the small front LCD status screen that could help you determine what mode you were
It an interesting move that probably offered a drop in bill of materials cost for the cameras and offered a broader range of differences
between low and high-end models but they do ultimately kind of feel like downgrades to the Hero5 Black and Hero they are replacing in the
lineup.
The flagship Hero7 Black is again the star of the group, but the differences between the newcomer and its preceding model are far
less pronounced than in past releases.

up.
