EDIT (2017-02-09): The first comparison video appeared on Youtube. We can see excellent WDR in the footage, but colors are worse compared to GoPro Session 5:

From this video we can see that FOV of these two cameras is very similar. Sound is not bad, but not so good as in Gopro Session. So far everybody is excited and can’t wait for release date.
