The best action cameras for 2022

1. GoPro Hero10 Black

The best action camera with the ability to capture 5.3K video and 23MP photos.

FEATURES

Weight: 153g

Waterproof: up to 10 meters

5K video: up to 60 frames per second

4K video: up to 120 frames per second

1080p: up to 240 frames per second

Photo resolution: 23MP

Camera Advantages:

● Faster user interface

● Increased frame rate

● Hydrophobic lens coating

GoPro's newest addition doesn't have a drastic difference with the GoPro Hero9 Black, but is worthy of the top spot. The new model has an improved GP2 processor, thanks to which we can enjoy an extremely fast interface and a doubled frame rate. Also notable is the improved HyperSmooth 4.0 stabilization system. This is the camera that has the best low-light performance so far. Of course, we can't help but mention the 5.3K video with 60fps and 23MP stills.

2. DJI Action 2

Besides producing some of the best drones, DJI also presents very good action cameras.

FEATURES

Weight: 57 g

Waterproof: 10m (or 60m in a housing)

4K video: up to 120 frames per second

1080p: up to 240 frames per second

Photo Resolution: 12MP

Camera Advantages:

· Can be used individually or combined.

· Two-screen interface

· Live streaming

Dji Action 2 is a compact 39x39mm square camera to be used alone or combined with other devices. The camera has a 1/1.7-inch sensor and RockSteady 2.0 and HorizonSteady image stabilization. What may possibly not satisfy you would be the rear touchscreen. It's only about the size of the main camera module.

It's an extremely robust camera that you can control easily with DJI's Mimo app.

The camera is waterproof, but the front touchscreen module and power module are not. Therefore, you should use a waterproof case when shooting underwater for long periods (as in diving) or under high water pressure conditions (as in cliff jumping).

Compared to the previous model, the GoPro Hero9 has a larger 2.27-inch display, Hypersmooth 3.0 video stabilization, TimeWarp 3.0 for handheld time-lapse shots.
