This is my review of the GoPro HERO 8 Black! Lots of cool new features, but plenty of cons and negatives - is it still worth buying?! I test the new HyperSmooth 2.0 Boost stabilization, many resolutions and frame-rates, can it "vlog", new TimeWarp 2.0 HyperLapse auto mode, Night Lapse Video mode, and more!

PS. I forgot to drop in my battery test results, long story short a fully charged battery only lasted me an hour or two while shooting, definitely consider buying a couple spares. ;-)

No holds barred in this one!! :D Do you think it's still worth buying despite the negatives? That "non-replaceable" lens protector kinda scares me... 😟

Thanks for another awesome, honest and straightforward review. You are my go to for assistance on purchase decision making. Helping me save my hard earned money for years. Yes, that lens crossed the line and closed the book on the GoPro 8 purchase decision.

@annoyboyPictures 4 года назад

To be honest, its not a deal breaker for me... I've owned more than 20 GoPros in my life, and I never once Scratched the Screen.. Luck maybe, and I use them for lots of action shoots. I think GoPro made a business call because hey saw that there probably were more issues arising from a detachable lens (water leaks) than if they made it solid. I bet like me, the vast majority of GoPro users don't end up scratching their screens. Perhaps when GoPro designs the Hero 9, they can offer 2 versions: a PRO Version and a Consumer version. The PRO version should have the Detachable Screen... and maybe even a Better SENSOR with good quality 4K?

What initially sold me on the 8 was the stabilization. I have Parkinson's, so I'm never really sure when my tremor will be significant (time to pop a pill!) or slight. It's still in the box. I'd be using it for vlogging, travel, and some outdoor stuff - hiking, easy kayaking, x-c skiing. But now I'm considering returning it, and getting the 7. The lens cover issue has me uneasy. Thank you for your review, I've seen others that didn't mention the lens cover issue.

@motorman857 4 года назад

Go Pro still haven't worked out the bugs in the Hero 7. Sometimes it doesn't turn on, other times it doesn't turn off, using the go pro mic adapter, the voice is sometimes out of sync with the video. Attempts to contact GoPro are met with silence. Buyer beware.

The go-to device for recording a lot of outdoor activities that required a tough camera. Whatever sly little executive at GoPro who decided that they’d try to make more sales from broken devices with the new lens and other parts is deluded. Thank Goodness for competition. Goodbye GoPro.

Kinda confirms my developing GoPro thesis: every other major release represents enough improvement to consider spending, but year over year they really don't justify replacing or adding to your quiver. Improvements are just too incremental, and they've even made a few things worse from the looks of it. I may trade up my Hero3 Black for another Hero7 Black, and hold off on until the 9 is out to see if that offers anything revolutionary.

From your review I am impressed by the quality of picture that the 8 delivers compared to the 3+, which is really what the lens should do. Indeed, damaging the lens is a risk but you can mitigate against doing so. I only dive with the GoPro and it is always in a housing regardless of whether or not it is in or out of the water. I've never scratched or damaged the lens of either the housing or the lens itself. Thanks a bunch.

Easier to replace a tempered glass sticker than a lens so in some ways this is a huge upgrade.

Going to stick with the cheaper GoPro Hero 7 Black! Just imagine you being in a mountain and the lens crack! Not being able to replace lens whatsoever means, the mountain filming you were eager to do, is no more!... I don't know if they changed the Product Owner for the GoPro Hero product or not, but these awkward changes are a shoot in the foot and a huge setback for a supposedly new upgraded model. GoPro Hero 7 Black was (is) such a perfect product! So basically now we have: 1. GoPro Hero 7 Black 2. Osmo Action Camera 3. GoPro Hero 8 Black?

Thank you for such a good review from all angles. This is disappointing as I am a VERY HEAVY user of gopro cameras and right now I'm thinking my 7 Black cameras actually meet what I need better than the 8. Seems to me they took a few steps forward and a few steps backward. I think gopro could have done better this time around.

I have both the 7 and 8. Really enjoying the 8. Love not having the plastic holder anymore. The glitchyness of the 7 was getting out of hand and the 8 so far has worked without a hitch. Mic is better too. The 7 is still good though but the 8 is definitely the better of the two.

Very helpful. I'm looking at buying my first Go Pro. I think I may go for the 7 based on this review

I literally just found out about this one today now I might have to keep it in interest

I have a GoPro 8 and have audio problems constantly. I have updated the cameras firmware and checked all the settings and am in the process of returning it for warranty.

Maybe try the 7 or One R?
