GoPro to Introduce Two New Cameras in 2025, With the Max 2 Being One of Them - But What About the Second Model?
In an exciting development for action camera enthusiasts, GoPro is set to release two new models next month, with the highly anticipated GoPro Max 2 and the GoPro Hero 14 expected to hit the market.
According to the company's CEO, Nicholas Woodman, GoPro is also developing a new System on a Chip processor, the GP3, which is expected to be an upgrade from the current GP2 processor that debuted with the Hero10.
The GP3 processor is designed to process images and video, and can influence factors such as noise levels in low light and frame rate capabilities. This upgrade is likely to bring significant improvements to the performance of the new cameras.
Rumors suggest that GoPro may move to a larger one-inch sensor for improved low-light performance in its new cameras, a move that could revolutionize the action camera market.
While details about the GoPro Hero 14 are scarce, it is speculated that the camera could be launched as early as next month. The Max 2, on the other hand, is expected to be released alongside the Hero 14.
GoPro's focus on software could also bring new features to the table. The company's subscription service, which makes up a significant portion of its revenue, is a testament to this focus.
Hillary K. Grigonis, a seasoned journalist with over a decade of experience writing about cameras and technology, has had the opportunity to test these new devices. Grigonis, who leads the US coverage for Digital Camera World, has tested a wide range of cameras and lenses across multiple brands.
Grigonis, a former Nikon shooter and current Fujifilm user, favors a journalistic style in her wedding and portrait photography. She is also a licensed drone pilot, adding another dimension to her expertise.
GoPro has a pattern of launching flagship action cameras in September, and this year seems to be no exception. With the anticipated release of the GoPro Max 2 and the GoPro Hero 14, action camera enthusiasts have much to look forward to.
In addition to these developments, GoPro is also reportedly working on a low-light camera that could arrive as early as 2026. This further cements GoPro's commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of what action cameras can achieve.
