Honestly think the 8 looks better. I am 1/2 through the video, and wanted to say the one difference I do see is at appears the 9 maybe has just a touch more dynamic range resulting in very slight advantage of image quality, however, not sure it's enough for me to make the jump to a 9 unless I got one for a extremely crazy deal!

@tommymccomic77153 жыл бұрын
I watched a lot of comparison videos as I'm about to buy a GoPro for the first time. I replayed and paused a lot during these videos and studied the shots in detail. My personal observations are that the Hero 8 and 9 during daytime video are very similar but you can surely tell a difference when moving quickly. As an example, the grass was more defined on the 9 as you moved and I believe this is due to the quicker focus ability of the 9. Also, buildings in the background were crisper and more defined with the 9 but if you already own the 8, it might not be a big enough difference to upgrade at the moment. As far as night shots are concerned, the 8 does have the slightly brighter picture but the 9 has slightly more definition. When looking at buildings at night, the 9 does provide a clearer image but it's a very small difference compared to the 8 and the 8 is slightly brighter. I'm torn on this because obviously the brighter 8 would be more desirable if shooting a night video of something important to you. However, the ability to make out distant features on buildings or structures on the 9, does have some appeal. I think the majority of people shoot during daylight hours so the 9 wins in my opinion for those shots. The ability for it to focus faster and provide crisp clean video at fast speeds as well as it's slightly better colors is just hands down a great upgrade from the 8. Again though, if you already own the 8, it might not seem appealing to you to upgrade for just a little better picture quality when the 8 still looks amazing. If your one of the few that needs to shoot at night, then it's a hard decision as I'm one of those people and I don't know which way to go. I think in the end I'm gonna buy the 9 because it's better overall, even if the night pics are just a bit darker. I don't feel it's dark enough to not warrant the purchase. Certainly not as dark as some other cheaper action cams.

great video comparison! I actually prefer not to have the horizon leveled all the time as this detracts from the action, which these cameras are designed to capture. For example, when filming on the buggy at the football field, the 9 created an impression that it is mounted on a lawn mower, whereas the 8 added that feeling of speed and action by not leveling the horizon. Great to see Niagara Falls (Canadian side) in the night video comparison :)

@RichardsWorld4 жыл бұрын
Most of the problem is shutter speed. You can be stable all you want, but if you have longer shutter speeds and move the camera it will look blurry. Unless you use strong ND filters the GoPro will have a very high shutter speed. It has a fixed aperture, and the ISO can only get you so far. So, the shutter speed goes up during the day, and very slow in the dark, hence blurry video.
