GoPro Fusion review: specs and price

Device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures due to any kind of weather.

Dustproof/water resistant at depth equal to or greater than 1 meter.

You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.

For example

Flip-out screens are useful for doing tricky shots.

For example

The device has a display with three full subpixels per pixel, resulting in a sharp and crisp picture. Pixels in some displays (like AMOLED) share one subpixel to preserve space. This can result in a less crisp, slightly blurred image.

For example

The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.

Best

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.

Best

24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.

For example

When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.

You can shoot multiple pictures in a row.

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. It's a standard popular among professional cameras and camcorders.

For example

CMOS image sensors are slowly replacing CCD sensors, due to reduced power consumption and better image quality. They can be very compact and cost relatively little to produce.

Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.

With manual white balance you can choose the most accurate setting and avoid the green, blue or red hue which can occur in auto mode. You can also change the setting for artistic effect.

The lens is made by a reputable photographic equipment manufacturer, as opposed to a low-cost unbranded lens.

For example

This allows to manually set the ISO level.

A BSI (backside illuminated) sensor is a camera image sensor which captures better quality images in poor lighting conditions, and offers better overall sharpness and image quality.

A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.

For example

A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.

Zoom microphones record very high quality audio, and enable you to record sound from a distance. This can be useful for recording meetings, lectures and presentations.

For example

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Best

With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.

For example

Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

For example

The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.

Best

The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) so that you can either extend the internal storage with affordable memory modules or you can retrieve data, such as photographs, easily from a memory card.

The battery can be recharged and used over again.

GPS enables global positioning, useful in map, geo-tagging or navigation apps.

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

It is compatible with a range of Android devices such as smartphones and tablets.

The device can connect to WiFi.

A remote control allows you to control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.

NFC (near field communication) allows a device to perform simple wireless transactions.

For example

Allows you to view in ultra-high definition.

802.11n is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors - a, b and g.

A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.

A flash is good for low-light environments, and can sometimes be used as flashlight.

For example

An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.

The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
