GoPro unveiled its new flagship action camera on Thursday. The GoPro HERO10 Black comes with a new processor, known as GP2, which promises that “ everything will be faster ” compared to last year's model and will improve in the capture of images and videos, even at the highest resolutions.
In the official statement, the company indicates that the GoPro HERO10 Black's 23.6 MP resolution sensor is combined with the new GP2 processor to capture video up to 5.3K which allows smooth playback and 2x slow motion.
It also captures video in 4K at 120 fps (4x slow motion) and 2.7K at 240 fps (8x slow motion). The new GP2 processor also improves video algorithms with local tone mapping (LTM) and 3D noise reduction (3DNR). These allow captures of more precise details, more realistic textures and better contrast, even in low light.
While this same 23.6 MP sensor was also used in the GoPro Hero9 Back, the new chip promises a major leap in photo performance. This setting outputs 19.6 MP images from 5K videos in 4: 3 format and 15.8 MP from 5K videos. , 3K at 60 fps.
