The GoPro HERO12 Black is the number three camera in this guide. It is the one the listing describes as shooting 5.3K and 4K video with HDR, taking 27MP photos, and going underwater to 33ft (10m) without a housing. It sells for £230.00 and carries a 4.4 rating from 3,667 ratings.

Where this listing stops agreeing with itself is in the small print. The product name says the sensor is 1/1.9-inch; the spec table says APS-H, a far larger format. The spec table says the camera needs 1 AAA battery, while the box contents list a single Enduro rechargeable battery instead. The star breakdown supplied alongside the listing adds up to 100, not the 3,667 ratings quoted. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out ourselves.
