thx , i will also keep my gopro 8 instead of buying 12, even the akku is much better on the 12 but if you keep making short videos, akku of 8 still good enough.
Maybe not too fair a comparison for a first impression, the Hero 8 is being shot in morning light and the Hero 12 is during more sharp daylight, which is less flattering in terms of colour. I think the wind canceling is a lot better on the 12 and it looks a fair bit sharper and less mushy.
Hero 12, huge problems at 7:05. Keep watching the video , you can see the buildings straight lines start to curve near edge of screen, sort of like a fisheye lens effect from the wide field of view. The "dark footage" is not dark, really doesn't do too well as you go into the evening. DJI Action 4 has proven to be better in those areas I really wanted the Hero but can't unsee those problems.
I could swear that when gopro 8 came out, the differences from the previous one were the same. But now comparing the gopro 7 and gopro 8 in terms of picture quality, they are the same. Do they purposely lowering the quality of the new camera on purpose? No way! Wait a minute....
