Since action camera-maker GoPro announced a new line of durable Hero4 devices two days ago, tech reviewers have been putting the new cameras though their paces to see if they live up to their promise.

The three new cameras, launched simultaneously, have a number of features that set themselves apart from their predecessors, their rivals and one another, but plenty that will be familiar to GoPro loyalists. The GoPro Hero4 Black Edition, Hero4 Silver Edition, and regular Hero model are all waterproof, all share a similar body shape and all work with microSD cards.
