Verdict
Pick the GoPro HERO5 Black if you need 4K video or a rugged body for action shots. Choose the Sony DSC-HX90 if higher still-image resolution (18.2 MP) and a lower price matter more, and you can work within 1080p video limits. Both share the same burst rate and lack stabilization, so the decision hinges on resolution vs. video capability and form factor.
