GoPro Fusion is a 360-degrees camera that complements the GoPro Hero series. Labelled as the most versatile GoPro ever, which means this model has a lot of features to explore! The key feature is the Fusion's ability to capture 360-degree images like never before.
GoPro proclaims the Fusion as "six cameras in one", giving the user 360-degree image capture in 5.2 K resolution at 30p and 3K at 60p. The six cameras onboard help to achieve that, as well as 360-degree audio to go with the images. The resolution of traditional still photos is 18 MP.
A much-talked about feature as the Fusion was introduced was the OverCapture feature, which basically allows the user to "punch out" regular video images from the spherical footage that the Fusion provides.
The Fusion is inclusive as well, with Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi included. Don't forget the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass... they're in there as well.
One of the big selling points for the Fusion is it is compatible with most GoPro mounts. Talking about compatibility, the Fusion works through the GoPro app.
The GoPro Fusion is built to capture action and needs to be able to handle a bit of rough and tumble. The body of the Fusion is robust as a result, and waterproof up to five metres.
In this day and age of voice control, you'll hardly be surprised to read that the Fusion can operate through voice control in 10 languages.
Capturing all that 360-degree action requires great battery life, and the Fusion delivers with continuous 5.2K resolution shooting for 70 minutes, or 3K resolution for 80 minutes.
Other highlights include built-in Wi-fi, a waterproof-design down till 5 metres and the ability to transform spherical footage into flat footage using the OverCapture feature.

Bought this couple of weeks ago. Features are well ahead of other existing Gopros. A bit complicated to get started (although I'm using Gopro for 3 years now!). Too sensitive, because of heavy load battery drains out faster than other gopros. But overall an amazing product if you get used to it!
The GoPro Fusion's hardware is great. You can turn 360-degree video into a special effect shot that would have baffled Hollywood a decade ago, and both image quality and stabilisation are excellent. But right now, there some sizable limitations. The software is a bit undercooked – the mobile version’s support across handsets is desperately narrow and the desktop version is buggy and limited. If you’re hoping to run a GoPro Fusion off your entry-level phone, that's unlikely to happen. But we have faith that it won’t be this way forever. The Fusion has enough promise to suggest it could yet blossom into the future of action cams, even if it's currently a rough-around-the-edges trailblazer.

If you don't have a good graphics card and a windows 10 operating system, don't buy it.
I love this camera. I've been excited about 360 photography for a while now but it hasn't been mainstream enough for an amateur user. The GoPro Fusion is changing all that. Quite simply with this camera you can record high quality video and stills and upload them to YouTube and social media with...
Bought for an Xmas present for the person who has everything, only had a quick look but seems an amazing gadget and I am sure he's going to love it!
GoPro is known for making amazing action cameras. Their hero range of action cameras are widely used in India by adventure sport enthusiasts and also a lot of motoring journalists to shoot cars.
As video consumption increases in tandem with Internet bandwidths across the world, our appetite for immersive video is also going up. However, creating and editing 360-degree video has been anything but easy.
Spherical cameras seem to be one of the more undesired tech trends to be pushed on people in the past couple of years. Consumer tech companies have opted to develop these expensive products as a segue into capturing the user-generated VR vertical, but with VR itself in a rather tenuous position, the...
GoPro has long been a dominant player in the action camera space, but of late, the company has been struggling with poor sales and has also dropped out of the drone market . VR is a new vertical for GoPro, and it's betting big on the Fusion, its new 360-degree camera.
High-quality 360-degree footage; Rugged and waterproof; Bundled Fusion Grip is handy; Overcapture works well
Fusion Studio software is glitchy; No built-in storage; Android support is bleak (for now; Expensive; Processing 360 video can be cumbersome
