You have the option of enabling the Protune feature (which gives you a higher bitrate), but then you're limited to 1440p at 30fps, 1080p at 60 or 30fps, and 960p at 30fps, and you don't have all the tweakable options you do with your standard Hero4 cameras in Protune. Also, 720p at 100fps? 100? Are we suddenly on the PAL system here? Weird. Notice anything conspicuously absent? Where's my cinematic 24 fps? That's my go-to mode for shooting less actiony stuff. 1080p at 60 and 30fps (SuperView at 48 or 30fps).Speaking of resolution and such, here's what the Session's got: The Cube was just splash-proof, though, and had lousy resolution and frame rates, where as the Session is an honest-to-goodness action camera. We've seen this form-factor before, most notably from last fall's Polaroid Cube. In its included frame mount, the Session is 50 percent smaller than a Hero4 Silver or Black is inside its waterproof shell, and it's 35 percent lighter, too. It's waterproof to 33 feet on its own, and doesn't require any additional housing. The Session is a 1.5-inch cube that weighs only 2.6 ounces. With all of these improvements, the Hero4 Session is a big step forward for GoPro in some ways, but it's a step backwards in others. It's waterproof without a case, and it's tiny enough that it almost disappears once you've mounted it. The new Hero4 Session, which goes on sale July 12 for $400, is a real-deal action camera from the leader in action cameras. GoPro hopes to fix the problem of awkward bulk by introducing an entirely new form-factor: a cube! While the little video cameras certainly do their jobs very well, a rectangular camera can be awkward to mount on your head or your board, and the shape certainly isn't very hydro-dynamic. For as long as GoPro cameras have existed, they've been rectangles.
