When first introduced, there really was no such thing as an "action cam" before GoPro. And, as the company has grown and been the major player in this action and adventure video and photo capture space, GoPro itself has had its name become synonymous with this type of camera.
And while there is of course more competition these days, which is a good thing, GoPro remains the leading action cam brand for a reason. So for this edition of our "Deals of the Week," we're looking at three of the best action cameras currently in GoPro's lineup—all on sale right now.
