The battery performance will be worse than hero 7 black because of upgraded features and external screens and upgraded case with shotgun microphones. If you value every minute possible from gopro skip the eight it will drain batteries much faster. I'll be keeping my two hero 7 black models for the better battery life.

@canyonblue737-84 жыл бұрын
@@LightSubscriber well it is still going to be kept on sale at $329 so i would imagine for several more years, and 3rd party companies will probably also offer the lens for a while. by the time it becomes hard to find (5+ years?) the vast, vast majority will have moved on to a new model or will use a sudden lens damage event as an excuse to move on to a new model. Bottom line? I wouldn't worry about the replacement lenses for the 7. That I *am* concerned about the replacement of a damaged lens on this model... even if you pay the $60+ dollars a year for GoPro+ there is a "fee" for a replacement GoPro that still is a good amount of money and far more than a simple replacement lens.

Have been vlogging with the Hero 7 for ages. To be honest this has just really been a software tweak and no doubt could have been added to the Hero 7 as an update. Depends on the price of the audio case, etc. Still not happy about the last camera and its clunky audio adapter which I still never managed to get hold of as out of stock forever. Think to get fully working vlog setup with all its accesories is going to be about same price as a mirroless camera.

I'm wondering how would users replace those lenses in the field, when they are not able to go to a GoPro's repair service. With old GoPros I can always take some extra lenses with me for situations when I break it and then I can quickly replace it. TBH, I think the new GoPro is rather made for vlogging users, who don't go in for extreme sports. I would not buy GoPro 8 now and would better wait for some possible solutions for protecting the lens or replacing it somehow. Otherwise it's much better for me to buy GoPro 7 instead.

@Engadget While your demo is interesting with good examples, your demo of stabilization is jittery and does not show the true stabilization quality as it actually is and your Time-Warp demo is dropping frames. I can't imagine why a professional reviewer would use a frame rate circa 1927 chosen to support audio recording on celluloid film. Presumably "experts" will know that "cinematic quality" (your apparent obsolete assumption) has little to do with framerate and is a combination of lighting, framing, angle, sound quality, editing, story-flow, setting, surroundings, exposure, color-science, and other non-framerate factors related to the final goal of the clip. Also, an expert should know that KZfaq does not employ Telecine 3:2 pulldown as streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney, et-al. provide for smoothing out 24-fps movies. Shouldn't you know that outside of a 24-fps or 120-fps monitor, standard 30/60-fps monitors (I use a 60-fps gaming monitor) have a math problem with 24-fps? Sadly, you did an injustice to GoPro's excellent new product by introducing jitter/judder.
