Expensive compared to Hero 7 Black and DJI Osmo Action
Excellent video quality, Waterproof, 4K video resolution
Expensive, Average battery life, Slow Wi-Fi video transfer,
The GoPro Hero8 Black is one of the best action cameras on the market. It has fantastic image and video quality, as well as great image stabilization. The Hero 8 Black is also very rugged and can endure being dropped or submerged in water. The battery lif...
Small rear screen, Average low-light performance, A bit expensive

Much-improved audio quality, Intuitive user interface, Sleeker accessory mounting system, Media “Mods” add functionality
Battery door is awkward to close, Lens is no longer removable, Camera gets hot when shooting 4K

Superb image stabilization, Built-in mount that folds away neatly, Great video quality, Plenty of modes
Rear screen could be bigger, There are cheaper action cams, Lowlight performance could be better
The action camera market may now be a two-horse race since DJI launched the Osmo Action, but when it comes to stabilization, GoPro just took the lead with the Hero8 Black. What's more, GoPro has innovated with its tried and tested design while still naili...

Overall the GoPro Hero 8 Black is definitely the recommended buy over the Hero 7 Black given the relatively minor price difference, no question here. However, I'm not sure there's a huge reason for most people to upgrade from the Hero 7 Black to the Hero...

Again GoPro has managed to produce a camera with almost exactly the same specifications as the last one, and again they've made me want to buy it. Actually the hardware change is big. As a user, it's easy to overlook how much work goes into hardware chang...
