Amazon's October Prime Day sale event is just over a week away, but we have just spotted that the online megastore has just dropped the price of the GoPro Hero 12 Black action camera to just £273 – that's the lowest ever we have seen this on sale for in the UK.

Sure, the newer GoPro Hero13 Black has just reached the shops - but that is £120 more expensive at the moment, so this discount on last year's model is a seriously tempting deal.
