"The Karma system will get a software update that adds a “follow me” mode similar to what’s found on DJI’s drones."
"The Karma stabilizer grip, which lets users shoot with the drone’s gimbal in a more handheld fashion, will also get a physical update. The new version will have more options, like a joystick for aiming the camera, that also bring it in line with DJI’s offerings."
"HERO6 Black to have much faster wifi speed due to 5GHz wifi channel. Also touch zoom."
"What's more, it sounds like GoPro will be switching to a custom processor for the new model, the GP1, which may give its engineers the chance to boost battery life or image quality. "

Again this seems like a small incremental upgrade from GoPro. I'm a bit underwhelmed...
@davedv The socionext reference popped up in an investor speculation earlier this summer.
Why they'll use such strange LSI?
Most probably LSI is either same as Yi 4K+ or some Qualcomm mobile one.
The top-end image processor currently listed on the Socionext website seems to be the Milbeaut SC2000: http://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/milbeaut/SC2000.html
However, the SC2000 is only capable of H.264 (and H.265) encoding up to 4Kp30. Which means that if GoPro is using a Socionext chip, it must be either a custom design or a new processor that is not yet widely available.
It would be nice if the GoPro 6 supported H.265 as a recording option though.

I know Im talking about quality :) I wish them well and hoping for surprises
@konjow nothing about the possible new features have been leaked.
A picture of the redesigned The Handler mount.
there is no word about RAW improvement which GP needs so much.
Dji on Phantom is sadly way better cam
Rumored features:
No mention of the high frame rate (1000 fps) found in the new Sony sensor.
Higher price! 500 usd? Or more? Surely that is not the way forward for GoPro.
