GoPro Hero 5 release date, specs rumors: Next gen action camera delayed again?

Many fans are slowly losing their patience with regard to the release of the upcoming GoPro Hero 5. The fans' anticipation of the next generation action camera from GoPro has started last year and the company has yet to provide solid information about its development and release date. Adding insult to injury, a new rumor has emerged suggesting that the release of the device might be delayed again.

According to recent reports, the GoPro Hero 5 is said to come out lighter and more convenient compared to its predecessor. There are rumors suggesting that the action camera will arrive with impressive specs and features to make sure the company will remain as the best maker in the industry.

There are reports that several companies have already started to make a mark in the action camera market, adding so much pressure for GoPro to make major adjustments on their upcoming releases.

Rumors about its specs and features have already hit online and although the company has yet to confirm these reports, many fans are excited for the device to come out. According to industry experts, the Hero 5 will most likely arrive with the ability to capture and stream 1080 resolution at 30fps.

Meanwhile, despite its rumored lighter and smaller frame, the GoPro Hero 5 is said to come out with a $450 to $550 price tag.

According to Vine Report, there are speculations saying that the Hero 5 may come out with the ability to shoot videos at 8K resolution. There are also rumors suggesting that the device will no longer need the waterproof casing as the camera itself will come with a built-in waterproofing feature.

Certainly, the upcoming GoPro Hero 5 will arrive with specs and features that have never been found on the company's previous releases. Nonetheless, until GoPro decides to issue an official statement with regard to its development, all rumors and speculations must be taken with a grain of salt.
