It looks like prices of entry level action cameras from GoPro are going lower and lower at each announcements. For the first time since the GoPro Hero was introduced, we see a GoPro action cam go sub-US$200 with the release of the GoPro Hero+ Wifi. It is rather a surprise since we usually see action cameras below US$200 usually lacking the Wifi feature. With the GoPro Hero+ with Wifi, it means that GoPro can also take the pricing war strategy given there are GoPro wannabes (yes, you can call them Chinese clones) flooding the market with cheap copies these days at very much low prices.

If you are an airsoft player who just wants some simple video capture and sharing of airsoft gameplays, then the GoPro Hero+ with Wifi should do more than enough for you. The more expensive models have the LCD back option, but since it comes with Wifi and Bluetooth, having the LCD back is not really a setback since you can use the GoPro app to do some playback and changing settings with your smartphone. As compared the Hero+ LCD, it is US$100 cheaper.

Another thing that we welcome with this new entry level action cam is that video capture is 1080p at 60 frames per second and 720p at 60fps. It also comes with the user-friendly modes like QuikCapture, SuperView and Auto Low Light for better video capture results. Unfortunately, there is no slo-mo capture which means you have limited options in editing the 60fps video for a slow motion. As for still photos, it can do 8 megapixels, timelapse, 5 photo frames burst, and go under water to a depth of 40 metres.

Set to be released by the 4th of October, the introduction of the GoPro Hero+ Wifi will also have some new pricing arrangements for the rest of the GoPro Action Camera lineup:

• HERO4 Black: $499.99
• HERO4 Silver: $399.99
• HERO4 Session: $299.99
• HERO+ LCD: $299.99
• HERO+ Wifi: $199.99
• HERO: $129.99

We're liking the way GoPro are putting out products that meet certain budgets and requirements. This means that they are meeting their competitors head-on on price points and features that it is hard to compete against the company unless the competing product is really ground breaking. With that GoPro remains on top of the Action Cam world.
