Long time user here (ever since the original HD Hero). My question is why don't you focus more on photography? It seems like every iteration of the camera in recent years has seen all sorts of gains in terms of video performance/resolution but the still photo quality has stayed the same. I currently have a Hero3 Black and a Hero4 Black and the still photo quality is near identical. I will most likely hold off on buying the Hero5 Black because I imagine the photo quality will be nearly the same.
I feel like in this age 16mp should be the benchmark for still photos.
Sorry for the rant! - love the products, but a little annoyed by some of the updates
