"After over 10 years of testing them, I have come to have very low expectations of cameras, and yet, despite that, almost every camera fails what I consider the most basic thing it needs to do: turn on fast. What good is a camera if it's not recording? This is near the top of the list of why I love the GoPro. GoPro understands a camera has one job, and if it's taking time to start up, it's not doing its job."
"The ability to switch lenses is also very WIRED and unmatched in this space. I also happen to like GoPro's color rendering better than any of its competitors and find that there is less smearing and blurring in fast action shots. Personally, I have always liked GoPro's "fingered" mounting system, but I know many people are happy that GoPro finally got on the magnetic mounting bandwagon."
Three lenses are available, with the Ultra Wide favored for immersive forward-facing footage from bike handlebars. The Hero 13 powers on extremely quickly, reaching recording in about 1.5 seconds, outperforming many pricier cameras. Lens switching is unmatched in this category and provides versatile framing options. Color rendering is strong, with reduced smearing and blurring in fast action shots. The traditional "fingered" mounting remains preferred by some users, while magnetic mounts provide a popular alternative. Battery life remains the weakest area despite nearly an hour of 4K runtime, and low-light performance is limited.
