Also, the Prime X is a cylinder and can be rotated within its mounts until its lens is upright and level, while the Roam3 and Ghost-S have rotating lenses to accomplish the same thing. Cameras such as the Replay XD Prime X, iON Air Pro 3, Contour Roam3 and Drift Ghost-S don't need a housing to protect them from water. Like the name implies, the Session is GoPro's grab-and-go model - the one that you'll take to shoot that skate session or ski session or hanging-out-with-your-family session, without having to worry as much about where and how you're going to shoot with it.Īgain, the Session directly addresses some of the design advantages of GoPro's competition. But it also addresses some of the biggest criticisms leveled at the company's other Hero models. So, yes, the Session's smaller dimensions force some compromises. Also, Sony's Action Cam Mini HDR-AZ1 is very small as well and although it's just splashproof without a housing, it delivers overall better video quality and features than the Session. In fact, it's hard to see why you would bother considering the Hero+ unless you really want the design of the other Hero cameras and need something waterproof to 131 feet(40 meters). Now down at $200, the Session is competing with the GoPro Hero+, which has fewer shooting options than the Session. (That late 2014 model snagged a CNET Editors' choice, and remains our most recommendable action cam overall.) At $400 it was competing with the company's Hero4 Silver, which offers better video quality, more shooting options, a removable/replaceable battery, Micro-HDMI output and a built-in touchscreen. The more compact, rugged design really is the biggest reason to consider the Session, which currently costs $200 (£160, AU$300) following two, $100 price cuts from its original $400.
