GoPro Hero 9 VS GoPro Hero 8 Camera Comparison!

[@phucmapvlog]

From what I’ve seen here, I don’t see a valid reason to spend that much more for the Hero 9. Thanks for the review

[@RedskullPro]

Agreed, Thanks for watching!

[@meenapundir4005]

That much more? it's almost double the price here in India

[@fortisfortunaadiuvat8829]

@@meenapundir4005 yes🤣🤣🤣

[@MegaBasher666]

indeed hardly any improvement globally. (awesome tests!!)

[@teachmehowtodoge1737]

If interchangeable lens, 5K resolution, hindsight feature, and front screen camera matters to you, pick GoPro 9 if not, stick to GoPro 8

[@david_raven]

The reason I upgraded from the 8 to the 9, 1) front screen 2) removeable lens 3) bigger battery and 4) horizon stability mode, one of my favorite features

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for sharing with everyone! I am personally looking forward to the camera not overheating when I film dash camera reviews in the car with it :)

[@bc2108]

Horizon lock/Max Mod costs $99 more 😨

[@skumkaninen]

@@bc2108 No need for the mod for horizon lock, its only if you want 360 degrees lock.. but who needs that

[@bc2108]

​@@skumkaninen There're both direction lock and horizon leveling in the R, making reframing super easy

[@miss.sanchari_speaks]

Thank you 😁

[@stianjarnass]

Great to see the difference isn't too big. I think the 8 seems to be a better option for mainly action cam. Smaller and lighter

[@Luckyclash]

and its cheaper

[@stianjarnass]

@@Luckyclash yeah and we honestly couldn't tell the difference 👏👏🤣

[@dogdtwo]

Its hard to see the quality difference in the video due to KZbin compression

[@jessicagarcia7558]

This is very true and I'm a videographer an audio engineer I have the GH4 4K in the original black magic and I've also messed with other 6K cameras trust me once you process that through DaVinci Adobe Premiere or any type of video editing platform and uploaded on KZbin. Compression kinds of distorts the comparisons. If you're going to spend the money I would say right now hang on to what you have GoPro 8. 🤘😎

[@knoptop]

And that’s the thing to think about as most of the videos will end up on KZbin.

[@peterdeleon6880]

Go pro 8 less delay and looks natural movement when turning the camera.

[@georgevigil7001]

I noticed the same. The 9 shows the image box the software uses for image stabilization.

[@thekingishere1831]

True 8 > 9

[@xXadambXx]

3:22 hero 8 has more details/clear image and more real looking grass and sky, and i see texture of sidewalk ... wth ? good I don't need buy it now, but it will be difficult to choose...

[@RisingOne2See]

The thing we don't know though is what level of sharpening he had in each camera. If they were mismatched, that may make a difference in perceived level of detail and texture

[@bikingchupei2447]

7:36 weird camera movements on the 9 when you were turning left, it stuttered 2 times(move stop move stop). after seeing all these comparison videos, it seems like there is no difference in hypersmooth stabilization between the 8 and 9 aside from the new horiontal leveling feature.

[@SherinFunmes]

yes those stutters are very irritating

[@MrRiverwind]

I have the 8, and wouldn't change it with the 9 even just by paying the diference in its price. I upgraded my 4 silver with my 8 black and I'm very happy with it in all terms. Nitght time keep sadly being the weaker point of go pro.

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, for those that have the 7 or 8 I don't feel like this would be a worthy upgrade

[@rissyzbusiness447]

Your accent Better Than Both Camera !!

[@MakeenAhmad]

This is Russian english.

[@akiminoindex9682]

Its really hard to decide, but I think the gopro 8 is for which is the best for enough stabilization, lowlight settings and wind noise reduction. Thanks for the honest review.

[@geekanoids]

Great video Alex. Not a lot between them. 🤓👍🏻

[@RedskullPro]

Hey, thanks for watching!

[@JonS]

You might want to try horizon leveling in a HERO9. That provides a big improvement in stabilization. Also, of course photos will look the same when viewed on a 4k/1080 screen, but what happens if you crop? That's what more photo resolution helps with (that and large prints, but few people print these days).

[@KeleoProd]

​@martamac7789its a CAMERA my gopro took really good still photos. Idk where that came from..

[@bigearedmouse17]

Am still using the Hero 4 Silver am waiting for the Hero 10.

[@edkaempf906]

Redskull always has really dependable, side-by-side comparisons of these action cameras. At 3:47, you can see that the 9 has cropped much more of the image than the 8. Even taking into account that the cameras, which Redskull has mounted side-by-side, take a slightly different frame, you can see that the 9 has cropped much more of the same image than the 8. Both horizontally and vertically. Just a note: these cameras achieve image stabilization by cropping the image (i.e., using about 90% of the actual image). Using chip imbedded software, when camera movement is detected, the camera's image sensor used to record the image shifts in the opposite direction to compensate for the motion.

[@DefextOfficial]

I notice the 8 brings out the blue color better. Or is it just me?

[@tagacale1733]

i literally went through dozens of go pro hero 9 review comparison videos and this is the best one yet. thanks

[@RedskullPro]

Happy to hear, thanks for watching!

[@thescientisthorse]

What have you found out? Which one's better?

[@JonathanFisherS]

8:30 really interesting to see the difference in dynamic range in the shadows. The GP9 is reading more detail in the dark than the GP8

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, same thing i was seeing

[@NITINCHAWLA]

My hero 8 is my main youtube camera and i love it!

[@RedskullPro]

Nice!

[@EckertAndras]

I think that GP8 gives more natural colors and doesn’t make overexposed images but GP9. Stabilization also felt smoother in several cases with GP8 for me.

[@devon582]

I noticed that as well I just bout an gopro 9

[@raymondortiz1097]

I was going to get the 9 but I’m going to get the 8

[@York.YT.]

At 7:34 where both cameras turn around the corner you can see that the hero 9 has some stutter to it. I'm not sure if that has changed in an update but that is not a good thing for a newer model.

[@dominicauclair4026]

I disagree about the daytime video quality being slightly better on the Hero9. It has much worse clipping in bright areas as can be observed at 9:00. I thought the 8 had bad clipping but the 9 is even worse!

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

8:22 in them middle of both samples, there is a huge blurry region on the footpath. Do these cams really have this issue?

[@IndieboyPearson]

I'm starting to thing whether it's THE SAME camera but with the front screen update + software stabilisation update...

[@georgevigil7001]

I really appreciate this review. You are correct the differences are minimal and I think GoPro was banking on that front facing viewfinder and lens mount. But really, whos going to want to attach a larger lense because at that point you might as well use a DSLR. Very honest review, thanks!

[@RangerRickTV]

Hey Captin, what's a better value for the money. I don't need a horizon lock nor do I need a front screen. Any other reason to get the 9 over the 8? What's most important is image quality (24fps)and sound.

[@RedskullPro]

There isn't much difference... you can save yourself $100 and get the cheaper GoPro 8.

[@Jatto31]

Hello and thanks for the review! Both seem pretty comparable and I wouldn't upgrade to the 9 if I already had the 8. Considering I will be purchasing my first GoPro, would you suggest paying a bit more for the 9 or saving the money and going with the 8? Thanks!

[@travelwithrv360]

Can you tell please how much memory it consumes in 4k and 1080p and the video quality in these respective modes like normal video, time lapse, slow motion and others.

[@HindTerminalsPvtLtd]

Horizon levelling is probably only good feature, suggest you include that as well in comparison

[@freemanjay5939]

Redskull, very nice review.. lots of love from India!!

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks a ton!

[@MeftahOussama-ft7ly]

Both the GoPro Hero8 and GoPro Hero9 are excellent action cameras with advanced features. However, there are some key differences between the two models that may influence your decision. Resolution and Frame Rates: The Hero9 offers higher resolution options compared to the Hero8. The Hero9 can shoot up to 5K video resolution at 30 frames per second (fps), while the Hero8 maxes out at 4K/60fps. If you prioritize the highest resolution and frame rates, the Hero9 is the better choice. Front Display: The Hero9 introduced a front-facing color display, which is useful for framing shots when you're in front of the camera. This feature is not available on the Hero8. Battery Life: The Hero9 has a larger battery capacity than the Hero8, providing longer recording times. If extended battery life is important to you, the Hero9 has an edge in this aspect. HyperSmooth 3.0: Both cameras feature GoPro's image stabilization technology, but the Hero9 comes with HyperSmooth 3.0, an updated version that offers improved stabilization compared to the Hero8. Price: The Hero9 is generally priced higher than the Hero8 due to its additional features and improved specifications. Ultimately, the "best" camera depends on your specific needs and budget. If you prioritize the latest technology, higher resolution, and the front-facing display, the Hero9 would be the better choice. However, if you're looking for a more affordable option without compromising on quality, the Hero8 is still an excellent camera with impressive capabilities.

[@4KVegas]

Great comparison. You talked about it, showed real situation clips. I couldn’t say thank you enough! You didn’t waste time and showed 4K@60FPS answered my biggest question was boost available on that and you said it was! Again great job comrade!

[@Th3K37]

Not even halfway done with your video but I liked and subbed because this is how comparisons/reviews should be made. Well done and thanks.

Sound: Both were same Colors: 8 was pretty good Stabilization: 9 was good but 8 was also not that bad. Video Quality: it was also identical. Night Quality: 8 Was Good. Picture: Both are also identical. In short: 8 is Good as it is also cheap ❣️ It was a nice video, thanks bro 😊 it helps a lot.

Thank you!

After watching your video , I can say the main difference in between two camera is price and hype

[@colourmafia]

Thanks for this video. I use go pros mainly for time lapse stills and saw the 9 is much higher resolution. Why do you think the stills look so identical then?

[@RedskullPro]

probably because we didn't zoom in that much on them

[@TravellingPassport]

I am very satisfied with GoPro hero 8 day time performance I shoot all my channel vlogs with it. I was expecting GoPro hero 9 to be performing better in low light conditions but unfortunately it doesn’t. I don’t think it’s worth upgrading.

[@RedskullPro]

I agree with you..if you have the 8 it would be pretty tough justifying an upgrade to the 9. Thanks for watching!

[@jasenswick7725]

at about the 8:40 mark is that computer processing on the 9 vs the 8 cause the rock detail on the 9 looks HORRIBLE

[@jasenswick7725]

nevermind.. I upped the playback quality to 2160 and it resolved my issue. thanks for the comparison.

GoPro 8 with Bundle in $269? or go with the GoPro 9 alone in reg price? I just used a GoPro 2 like 2 years ago. I want to buy one. Mostly vlogging and travel videos

[@RedskullPro]

I think the gopro 8 will give you way more value for your money!

[@ricco123tube]

9 seems to have slightly better wind noise reduction, better shadow detail, better colour gradient, better stabilization, less apparent sharpening etc. Low light is a mixed bag. Interesting. Thanks

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@ronhoek69]

The 8 is better low light! That's a surprise for me. When will they put a larger sensor and some cool AI in this to get better night shots?

[@ScottsReviews]

The difference is the ISO. It's higher in the 8 so it looks brighter but not as clear. If you look at the lights you get more of a burst on the 8 vs 9. Regardless they are both bad and pulling out your GP at night is well desperate. Ha

And this morning, I was about to place an order for Gopro Hero 9 and its accessories but, I stop and ask myself if I need it? How can I assure that it has a big difference compare to hero 8? So I search on KZbin and I saw this video. Thank you for sharing this video, I think I don't want to spend more money on hero 9, and it doesn't have a big difference compare to hero 8.

@@RedskullPro Good review - thank you. Like William John, I too picked up the GoPro8 combo (2 batteries; floating selfie-stick; carrying case; etc) from Costco. Interestingly, I just joined Costco and they gave me a $40 gift card, so mine was $289 - $40 = $250USD for the combo.

[@sabugdalantx]

3:19 great test when you were doing the Image Stabilization did you walk with your knee bend or like a ninja, which is the preferred way of walking specially when making broll videos. By the way I don't see much different with stabilization between 8 and 9.

Greetings from turkey, my question is hero of heroes 8 from 9 except that the rear screen, and go pro hero 8 I recommend edermisin

[@MarceloJoaquim]

did you do color correction or is it without editing?

[@ElectricFuture]

Thanks Bro couldn’t have asked for a better format for a comparison video. Only problem is that The slight left-right perspective difference on your dual camera mount is creating drastically different lighting conditions which makes it hard to judge the difference. Maybe try stacking the cameras vertically for the next one. Also would be a cool idea to upload original comparison vids to your own website so we can watch them uncompressed, KZbin butchers them so bad especially on mobile device it’s hard to tell the difference

[@RedskullPro]

No way of fixing it… same issue with the 9 and 10. Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it doesn’t 😜

[@gonebdg]

I just bought the GP8 a week ago and then GP9 come out. No regret at all because: 1. I don't need the 5k resolution ... who actually need 5k ? 2. I don't need front screen either ... adding more risk in action. 3. I don't like the size and the weight as a consequence of bigger battery capacity ... weight matters for fpv drone. 4. Web cam beta version ... not really needed 5. Similar video & picture quality. Horizon leveling ... hmm ... Those new features seems only suitable for general Vloggers. So for me the GP9 is more like Vlogger cam instead Action cam :) However I like the detachable lens because it's kinda feel more "safe" wise in case something wrong happen with the lens.

[@tcat600]

just buy GoPro subscribtion and if something happens to your lens they will replace the camera.

[@danielblair6592]

Thanks for the awesome review. You really showed that there isn't much of a big difference in the 8 and 9. Definitely helped me save some money.

[@RedskullPro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GeorgeFoxMusic]

it seems that 8 is a little sharper in video than 9? I believe in 9 they actually added the camera lens(that you can change in case you brake it). And also they added the front screen. I cannot see the reason of why should i upgrade to 9 even since i am not using the camera for action videos.

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, I don't think that many people do that much action with these cameras

[@itsthestrollTV]

thanks for this video, im planning to buy hero 9 in the future but 8 seems to be ok for me aftr watching this. But i wanna ask too, how come i dont see too much step shaking when you where running than when you walked at night? i see your step movement.

[@RedskullPro]

I think gopros are mostly designed for more action... than just walking slowly filming... so that may have to do with the better stabilization when running vs walking

I am going on vacation and was looking for a go pro to take with me with a back pack mount. Which would be the better one to get the 9 or the 8, honestly I’m looking at the 8 cause doesn’t look like there is much difference between the 8 to the 9 video wise.

[@RedskullPro]

Not much difference between the two. Even the GoPro 7 is really good for what you plan on using it for

[@ericcccccable]

GoPro missed the only update really needed on the Hero 8. A larger sensor to be able to shoot cleanly in low light, under artificial light. For me the Hero 9 is therefore of no interest, as the video quality is similar (and bad indoors).

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, I was really hoping they would have a larger sensor in this one... as you said it is unusable in low light...maybe next year

[@anthonycongiano8890]

Great review and examples, thanks for this!

[@nickcanclimb]

I have the 8 and live in Tahoe.. I will say the 8, at least mine, has a significant battery fail in cold temperatures. On a warm day, cold water doesn’t effect this... but on a snowy cold day, if I try a time lapse or just shoot video/pics and there is wind... a full battery will suddenly die and the GoPro will shut off. The battery will then be fine after getting home and warming it or taking it out.

This is the case with most cameras...

[@tpespos]

I’m upgrading from a GoPro Hero + LCD ( I know really old) and I want to snowboard, play rugby and do time lapses with it, do you think it’s worth dropping for the 9 or would the 8 work just fine or even the 7. On my old Hero + I didn’t like the low quality with a max 1080 at 60 with no stabilization.

[@RedskullPro]

from the one you have any of them would be a massive improvement but the 9 will get better stabilization for what you plan on doing with it

[@FFVIIMASTER22]

Stick with the GoPro 8 if you have one already. I have an older Go pro that I purchased a few years back. I stopped using it because any newer phone has better quality. I just got the Go Pro Hero 9 so needless to say I was looking forward to the new camera. I found several issues with it. Corrupt files a few times. I cannot delete some of them on the memory stick, when I pressed the buttons to record the camera would shut down. I tried to transfer files over the phone and it would give me an error. I messed with the connection with no success. At times the camera was unresponsive. It just did not do anything and it got stuck on the mode screen I had to pull the battery. I really tried to give this a chance since I miss having an action camera I can setup on my helmet or take it paddle boarding but it is going back. Very weird to have these issues with such a popular camera I really wanted to use this again. The good news is that the return process is fairly easy. Going to give the Hero black 8 a chance next
