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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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..

[@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

[@bigearedmouse17]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@DefextOfficial]

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

[@NITINCHAWLA]

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

[@RedskullPro]

Nice!

[@raymondortiz1097]

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

[@IndieboyPearson]

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

[@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.

[@RanjanNadig]

Me: *Pauses at **1:10* Pam Beesly: It's the same picture!

[@RedskullPro]

:)

[@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!

[@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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@WellinessstattWellistress]

Thank you for this information. I don't think the improvements are related to the higher price.

[@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!

[@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

[@VIDEOVISTAVIEW2020]

this is a good comparison except that the horizontal leveling feature of the gopro9 was not mentioned

[@HindTerminalsPvtLtd]

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

[@darkftforce]

as a 1st time action camera buyer in Canada....hero 9 is C$500 and hero 8 is C$400...............should i save 100 and go with 8 or 100 is not that much big difference and get the latest and greatest?

[@VICZONSvlog]

I've been using my Hero 8 for years now and I still enjoy it. I have lots of videos using hero 8 and posted on my KZbin channel. 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.

[@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.

[@picturelounge1334]

Awesome video and I liked the way you have shown the difference. Thanks for sharing the details. Is there any difference in the battery life between the two?

[@freemanjay5939]

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

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks a ton!

[@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

[@high4travel]

I brought Gopro 7 few months ago and pondering for the 9 and skip 8. After watching this, it seems only front screen is only reason for upgrade.

[@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.

[@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.

[@RedskullPro]

This is the case with most cameras...

[@telcobilly]

Great comparison review! Love the Russian accent. considering I've been wanting a GoPro and don't have one, the GoPro 9 is a no-brainer for me.

[@spirittravels.]

Which GoPro has the best 1080p image? And does the Osmo action have better 1080?

[@strawberrymochiiz]

I had the Hero 3+ Black when it was released. I bought the Hero 8 back in August at Costco. The difference was insane between the 2 cameras. When the 9 released immediately returned the 8. Footage wise they are very similar in your test but Favor the 9. I didn't like way the 8 pans back and forth when using Timewarp. Maybe it will be better in the 9? But, looking at the overall changes with the 9 like bigger batteries, front screen and removable Lenses. Its worth the upgrade if you need those features.

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, the difference would have been massive between the 3 an the 8...not so much between the 8 and the 9 but since you could return the 8 it only makes sense to buy the 9

[@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!

[@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

In your opinion, what is better ... to buy 7 ... to save some money and buy 8, or to save a lot and buy 9 ? It will be purchase for a long period, i mean it will be expensive buy ... So, is it a good idea to save money and buy a newer one ? Thanks

[@jadenclark6893]

If you don’t have a GoPro and your buying one which one do you recommend?

[@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

[@nowitsokgaming5130]

What I like about your video... 1. You talk about the things that are important to MOST user (except one) 2. Great video/audio comparisons What you missed however.... ... since the 8 and 9 have different batteries.... HOW LONG TO THEY LAST? (big miss, but maybe just an oversight, happens to us all)

From the 3+ even a Gopro 7 Black would be quite an improvement! The The DJI Osmo Action would also be great... I never tried the Pocket 2 so I can't say

[@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

[@KickAssets]

Great vid. So if this is my first time buying 1 of these, what do you recommend for one taking long bike rides in the counter side to catch the scenery? is 360 thing cool/useful i wonder? Oh and would you recommend getting a separate recording device to pin to shirt for audio on a bike?

[@anupamsonowal3477]

If this is your first buy,gp9 may sound good.

[@nml5398]

You should mind if that image stabilization between the 9 and the 8 when filming is more likely a software version issue because from some users observations (including myself) the hero 8 had that 'clean movement' image of the hero 9 exactly one year ago and now it doesn't have it anymore. And Why? Because the manufacturer improved the software version from 1.5 to 1.6 and now it's even 2.0. Actually 1.5 was better image stabilization, it a clear steady movement like the hero9 right now. There was also a downside... the 1.5 still had more bugs to fix. Now the bugs on hero8 are fixed but the image is obviously 'damaged' compared to the 9. I really do not agree here with manufacturer's marketing views.... Also this lack of transparency about the software versions... when a new software version appears on a gopro camera all the previous are wiped out from the face of the earth... I think your observations are a little bit incomplete because on hero9 there is an obvious lens flare which hero8 did not have it that much. That is because the different lens coating construction on this part. I think on hero9 you could fix the issue with a good pack of filters, now you have more options because the longer neck... There should be more reviews about the lens flare on hero9 and how ugly that sometimes looks. I agree with you, these cameras should not be used in low light. The well mentioned one-inch-sensor is still missing! Actually sometimes hero8 even seemed to do better job. Definitely an iso setting difference there between the 9 and the 8! For what I said about the software difference between 1.5 and 1.6 there is the review of Oluvs Gadget from Austria. He explained the best way half a year ago how to things stand and why 1.5 is reliable for one good reason. But I will give you 10 more other reasons why it's not. :)) Cheers! Happy Holidays!!

It seems gopro 8 is sharper then the 9 i think.. gopro 9 makes the video little blur... little sharpness is missing i gopro9 🤔 what u think?

[@TheDT212]

Why are you using the boost mode in 4k60 when you only walk around? It crops in and the footage looks worse than the hero 8. Personally I would prefer 4k 60 at a lower level a stabilization, because that's how you can tell the difference between the imagine quality. Boost mode helps, but in a very shaky condition

[@fritz9880]

Off topic, but perhaps this might be of interest to others: Why is there an option to turn off Image stabilization on the GoPro (or any other) action camera? Why would you not want it?

[@nickxc]

keeping it simple, it really just comes down to control. When using a gopro in larger productions we will often stabilize the footage on a computer so we have more control over the video. there are instances where we want the camera to be shaky or don't want the crop that comes with hyper smooth.

[@fritz9880]

Great review!! I wonder if it be worth to buy the 9 since I will be using it for adventure motorcycle rides, one single scratch on the GO PRO 8 LENSE and it's done there is no way to replace it... And yes I know you can place a protective thingy but that also messes a lil bit with video quality right!?

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

[@InfinitelyQurious]

I was comparing the GoPro Hero 7 Black with the GoPro Hero 9 this afternoon and this evening, and I do not think it's worth upgrading. The 9 is much larger and heavier, which is not helpful for a portable action cam. Also, the difference in quality-- even when you compare the so-called 5k of the 9 with the 4k of the 7-- is negligible. Low light actually looks better on the 7.

[@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
