GoPro-sensorformaat en -resolutie (alle recente modellen)

Are you curious about the GoPro sensor size and resolution, and how these factors influence the quality of your videos and photos?

In fact, even the latest GoPro models differ in their resolution, aspect ratio, and aperture settings. That’s why I’ve prepared this article.

Today, you’ll learn about the sensor size for all the GoPro recent models, including the GoPro Hero 12, and how these parameters determine the quality of your videos and still images.

To begin with, watch my tutorial where I explain what is GoPro-resolutie and how to use it:

GoPro Sensor Size & Resolution: Comparison Table

Here is the comparison table of GoPro sensor size, resolution, aspect ratio for the recent GoPro models.

Does Sensor Size Matter?

Which Action Camera Has 1-inch Sensor?

De Insta360 One Inch 360 Edition is equipped with dual lenses and dual 1-inch sensors, a collaboration with Leica that enhances the existing system for One RS owners. This model maintains the core module of the action camera while introducing a larger battery and a housing that accommodates both the battery and core module. 

This configuration results in the highest quality 360-degree video footage I’ve encountered. 

It’s important to highlight that this is not actually an action camera. It’s small, but way bigger and bulkier than GoPro, and it is really heavy, so forget about using selfie sticks with it.

I would’t recommend this camera for the action shots due to its large lenses that are prone to scratcheszijn inability to be waterproof without an additional case, and the absence of the high frame rates necessary for capturing slow-motion footage.

Firstly, it’s essential to remember that GoPro is designed as an action camera, not specifically for vlogging, so you don’t need one-inch sensor.

So yes, GoPro sensor is absolutely good for action shots.

Drawbacks of a Big Sensor

One major concern in action footage is avoiding a shallow depth of field that could render your key moments out of focus. With the current sensor size, there’s already feedback about objects close to the camera appearing blurry; this issue would only be exacerbated with a one-inch sensor unless autofocus is introduced.

However, incorporating autofocus introduces its own set of challenges, and for the sake of this discussion, let’s consider the one-inch camera to have a fixed lens.

Smaller sensors benefit from quicker sensor readouts. While there are larger global shutter sensors available, they are significantly more expensive and typically found in cinema-grade cameras. Therefore, in the context of GoPro’s price range, the advantage of faster sensor readouts remains relevant.

This speed helps eliminate the “jello effect,” which occurs when the bottom part of a sensor is read much later than the top due to the rolling shutter nature of CMOS sensors.

Another point to consider is that smaller sensors are easier to cool. Their reduced size means less copper is used, leading to less electricity being converted into heat.

My conclusion is that incorporating a one-inch sensor in an action camera presents several limitations without offering substantial benefits.
