Just renting the thing for one day will set you back a few thousand bucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, there are a ton of high-quality slow motion cameras available at a reasonable price point. Let&#8217;s look at a few of the better, more affordable slo-mo options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-gopro-hero9-black\"><span id=\"1-gopro-hero10\">1.

I&#8217;ve been let down by the image every time I&#8217;ve used a buddy&#8217;s GoPro. However, with this new model, the footage looks better, especially the slow motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how does the HERO10 improve on previous models? Improved sensor, 5K recording capabilities, hyper-smooth 4.0 image stabilization, as well as &#8220;8x Slo-Mo&#8221; at 2.7K. The 8x at 2.7K is a massive win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, when we drop down to ridiculously slow frame rates, especially in compact cameras like this, we take a massive hit with the quality of the footage. And, in 2022, it seems a detriment to be mixing 1080p slo-mo with 4K or 6K native footage. The HERO10 quashes all of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Hero9 had the following specs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>23.6 MP sensor<\/li><li>5K recording at 30p<\/li><li>12 MP 1-chip CMOS<\/li><li>UHD 4K video resolutions<\/li><li>4K time-lapses at night<\/li><li>HyperSmooth 3.0 stabilization<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Hero10 has the following improvements:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>23.6 MP sensor<\/li><li>5.3K recording at 60fps<\/li><li>8x slo-mo at 2.7K<\/li><li>Better low-light capabilities<\/li><li>New GP2 processor<\/li><li>HyperSmooth 4.0 stabilization<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> $449.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-canon-powershot-g5-x-mark-ii\"><span id=\"2-canon-powershot-g5-x-mark-ii\">2.
