Am I missing something or is this like exactly the same as the Hero 6, just with a new number?

EDIT: By my eyes it looks like they improved the stabilization algorithm and added live streaming? Still though, pretty light release. I was hoping for a 960fps HD mode like the Note 9.

I seems to me like breaking ground on gimbal-free stabilization is the killer feature here, if it is impactful as the marketing video suggests. For mountain biking, much of the video captured is too shaky to really watch without it being super distracting.

I just doubt it's really can be as good as an optical stab in real life.

It doesn't have to be as good, it just has to be easy, and not dependent on extra hardware.

GoPro reminds me of every new Kindle, they made the definitive product early on and are forced to release the same thing over and over

I've owned 4 iterations of kindles, and imho current Oasis is in a whole different category than any of my previous ones. Physical page up/down buttons, splashproof, one-handed reading comfort, pixel density, page-turning speed, battery life... it all adds up to a nearly "perfect" ebook reader.

Does the library content update on yours? It doesn't on mine. Not an unusual problem, I understand.

It seems to be a very shiny SKU with some serious firmware issues.

I've had literally zero issues w it.

I want an Oasis, comments like yours make me want it more :)
