GoPro Hero 9 review: 5K for under $500 - The Verge
![GoPro Hero 9 review: 5K for under $500 - The Verge](https://volume-assets.voxmedia.com/production/7cf593e40bbd46e35a7704162bda42d9/GoPro_Hero9_txt.jpg)
The GoPro Hero 9 action camera is more robust in almost every way: 5K video, larger battery, and a more robust 20-megapixel sensor. For $449, there is a lot of camera in a very small package.
More power. More clarity. More stability. The groundbreaking HERO9 Black sports a beastly 23.6MP sensor for ridiculous 5K video and stunning 20MP photos. A dazzling new front display delivers a live preview for easy framing, while a large rear touch screen with touch zoom provides fast, intuitive control. HERO9 Black boasts a powerful new feature suite, including HindSight, and supports live streaming and Webcam7 mode as well.
