While low-light performance still isn’t amazing, the 1/1.9-inch sensor allows it to export in a range of social-media-friendly formats without a loss in quality or resolution. It’s a very handy cam indeed for content creators in particular who want a simple workflow for social media.

GoPro Hero 11 Black:was$299now$199 at WalmartGiven the similarities between the GoPro Hero 11 Black and its successor, the Hero 12 Black, it’s safe to say that the former action camera remains among the very best action cameras money can buy in 2024 – and it’s available for a record-low price at Walmart right now - just $199. The Hero 11 Black builds on the Hero 10 Black’s already impressive foundations with a square 1/1.9in sensor (making it ideal for vertical videos), a HyperView digital lens, and a longer-lasting Enduro battery.

GoPro Hero 11 Black bundle:was $379 now$249 at AmazonAmazon is fighting back with its own early Prime Day deal on this excellent all-in-one GoPro Hero 11 Black bundle. For just $50 more than the body-only price at Walmart above you can also get a headstrap, QuickClip, and two extra batteries. For our money, it’s worth the upcharge here to get some cheap accessories but either deal is fantastic.

Another useful feature of the GoPro Hero 11 Black is the option for 10-bit recording. Getting a little bit of extra dynamic range out of its small sensor is extremely handy for pulling out extra detail in the highlights or dark areas, as well as for tone mapping footage. This, coupled with the sheer versatility afforded by its sensor format, means it’s an action cam that manages to really punch above its size.
