The editors liked
Great image quality
Enormous array of mounts
Excellent all-rounder
The GoPro Hero4 Silver produces some great video for an action cam. Its abundant resolution and frame-rate options will satisfy beginners and experienced shooters. The built-in touchscreen makes previewing and reviewing and changing settings a breeze
The editors didn't like
Expensive
Average battery life
Non-standard charger
It still needs a housing to be waterproof. Battery redesign means you can't use your old batteries and battery life will still be too short for some. No option for in-camera digital image stabilization

Like previous years, GoPro has continued to raise the bar on action cameras from a specification standpoint – in particular, within the resolution and video/photo quality department. That aspect alone will no doubt make it a must have for those wanting th...

Excellent video quality. Capable of 4K recording. Versatile shooting modes. Touch-screen LCD. Improved menu system.
Expensive. Short battery life
Underneath the surface, the GoPro's Hero4 Silver is basically the Hero3+ Black Edition—and that's a good thing. Its top-notch performance and new touch-screen display justify this action cam's $400 price tag....

A small edition makes a big improvement to the GoPro line.It can be a bit confusing keeping track of all the different variations of GoPros on the market, something not aided by the fact that they all look so similar. The Hero4 Silver distinguishes itself...
Compact, Touchscreen on back, Lots of video modes, Good picture quality
Very poor battery life, Not enough accessories included, Front screen isn't backlit, Slow WiFi connection with significant lag, No headphone or mic port, Mono sound
Everyone was excited about the GoPro Hero4 Silver, or at least the thought of a GoPro with a rear touchscreen. There's no denying that it's a very practical addition, but it could be better incorporated. Not only that, but it brings the battery life crash...
Abstract: You know how people call every kind of vacuum cleaner a "Hoover", even if it's technically from another brand? These days, GoPro is practically synonymous with action cameras. I can't use any other action cam without someone asking me, "Is that a GoPro?"...
Great video and photo quality, Simple yet sophisticated, Vivid touchscreen, Highly stable Wi-Fi
Limited battery life, Some issues with pixelation, Can't handle bright, direct light
GoPro deserves credit for breathing life back into the stagnant camcorder business. While traditional camcorders have lost their luster, action cameras have gained popularity. Competitors from Sony to Polaroid have challenged GoPro for this turf, but it ...

The GoPro Hero 4 Silver and Black action cameras are revered the world over, and we now know why. They are incredibly fun to use and pack a lot of technology in for their size. As far as premium action cameras go, they are easily two of the best on the ma...
