This annual renewal of GoPro’s flagship camera leaves us wanting more. Certainly, the GoPro Hero12 Black is an excellent camera and still stays ahead of the competition, but the progress made compared to the previous version struggles to justify the appearance of this new model. No matter, since the action camera is sold less expensive than the previous one and remains devilishly effective in all situations while offering the best on the market.
