GoPro Hero 5 release date, specs news 2016: Next gen action camera to come out later this year, expected to carry impressive features

GoPro action camera fans expected the Hero 5 to come out early this year; however, due to unconfirmed reasons, the device failed to make it in the market. The upcoming camera device has been a favorite subject of several rumors and speculations since late last year. According to the latest buzz, GoPro will finally roll out the all new Hero 5 later this year.

According to a report by Crossmap, GoPro will also release its first ever drone product called Karma Drone. The device will be launched before the year ends, which will immediately be followed by a Hero 5 rollout. Both devices are said to have been delayed as they were previously rumored to come out early or mid this year.

There have been speculations suggesting that the company is currently experiencing some financial issues as sales of their flagship camera is said to have dramatically declined in the last couple of years. According to some tech observers, the GoPro Hero 5 is going to be the redeeming factor of the company as they will try to recapture the success they had when they pioneered the action camera industry.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that the new GoPro Hero 5 will carry some impressive specs and features. Despite the lack of official information coming from the company, fans have managed to share their own predictions for the upcoming device. According to reports, the Hero 5 will come with 8K resolution display, which is capable of shooting at 30 frames per second. It also has the ability to record moments in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.

If rumors are anything to go by, the new GoPro Hero 5 will be the best action camera the company has ever made. Nonetheless, these reports must be taken with a grain of salt until the company decides to make an official announcement.
