I really like the Hero 8 but I can't deal with an unreplaceable lens, "What can go wrong, will" I'm going to buy the 7 Hero Black. Thanks for the great video!
I thought the same thing at first but then I thought about it. When your self phone screen cracks to much. You don't replace the screen, you just get a new phone. It's the same concept with a go pro so I can look past that feature
imho, the color on the gp8 looks more realistic than the gp7. the 7 looks way more "bright" trying to compensate for lighting and the colors are insanely oversaturated. I had both 7, and 8, used daily and for a plethora of shooting situations and the 8 out shined the 7 for me which is why i sold my 7. but i can appreciate where you're coming from
Mario La Porte on all of my gadgets 3:10 of this video looks way better and more realistic on GP 7. On the left is just too orange, definitely not his natural color as he himself mentioned it on this same video.
@@dougmorato Agree to disagree. Not saying you're wrong. Everyone has their preferences. That's why I stated "imho". No ill, just stating opinion, my dude. Great video regardless
I actually find the microphone on the hero 7 sound better than on the 8. Colors are much more full on the 8 and also the stabilisation seems much better.
Finally someone who reviews the camera in depth and does a side by side comparison. I now know I want the 8 instead of the 7. Good job, very nice video and I find it very amusing to watch your video! I am upgrading from a GoPro Hero 5 to 8 in a couple of days
Terrific comparison, Alex! Really well done. I appreciate the time and effort you put into making this comparison. I am looing to purchase one of these (leaning towards the gopro 8 now) for motorcycle videos. The enhanced stabilization is quite remarkable at 240 fps. Thanks.
I currently have the hero 7 and really like it. There are some things i like about the 8 tho. Like the improved stabilization, built in mount, and presets.... but i dont like that the lens cover is non removable now. Would be nervous about scratching or cracking the glass.
@@thejgzone9 no….you just replace the screen, don’t know why you would spend another $800-$1000 on a phone when you can just pay for a screen replacement
Nice apples to apples comparison you've done here! Still really like my 7, but if I ever need a second one I'll buy the 8. I have to wonder if the difference in color and brightness had anything to do with the higher bit rate of the new 8. More bits, more information ='s darker more colorful picture? As far as I know, the 7 and 8 use the same CCD sensor. So if the imaging hardware is the same, that leaves us with an increased bit rate and or software differences I suppose.
Powered by vidIQ The non-removable lens cover is a deal-breaker for me. Its an action camera and is going to get scratched and dinged (i would be scared to mount it to a drone). If the lens cover gets damaged you have to replace the whole camera. It would be a waste of money to buy this unit.
8 is good but ive got a cheap and very small 1-axis gimbal which works great on the 7. (7 does struggle with the rotation axis). So im skipping this upgrade, really dont think its worth getting a new Gopro until they increase the sensor size.
@@RedskullPro yeah it does look excellent, but ill bet my Gopro Hero 7 and Wewow Sport X1 gimbal is just as smooth, as the sensor is rectangular, fixing the rotation externally gives the 7 stabilization more pixels to play with. If i didn´t have a Gopro 7 i would buy the 8 however, but from an upgrade point of view its not worth it for me.
For everyone that doesn't want the 8 only because of the irreplaceable lens. I had the same thought but than I thought. When your cell phone screen cracks to much. You don't replace the screen. You just get a new phone. It's the same concept with a go pro. So I can overlook that feature if the 8 is a better choice.
Just watched this video after the 9 vs 8 comparisons. I'm thinking of buying a GoPro for mainly scuba diving. I excluded the GoPro 9 because it's not worth it and it's out of my budget. Now I don't really know whether should I buy the 7 or 8. What would you advise? The GoPro 7 is for $250 and the GoPro 8 is for $350
Thank you for the comparison, great job. I have the 7 black which I use only while scuba diving. I actually do not see any advantage at all in using the 8 underwater as the stabilization is not needed. It would have been good if the 8, being larger, was fitted with a longer life battery. Thanks again.
I just Bought a GoPro Hero 8, I found your review to be very informative and i'm glad that i did very gd tests results in favour of the hero 8 , Thank you very much and you have a new sub..
Can u go Facebook live & Instagram live with the 7? Is it possible to do face time calls with a go pro never heard anyone do a face time call so I just wondering can u do those 3 things ?
note: a good video editor can fix saturation and stabilization (and a lot more) for you after you recorded the film - just a thought, which makes gopro 7 a better deal than 8, since what 8 can do, 7 can also do if you put it into a video editor ta ta!
I think I'll keep my 7 for now. A tiny bit more stabilization on the 8, but not enough to go buy another set of everything for a new 8. But that's just me. Thanks for the comparisons of the pair.
How long goes the batery by filming ? 3 hours or more ?? Please tel me because I want a go pro too but what is better 7 or 8. In your video I noticed 8
Doesn't the Hero6, Hero7 Black and the Hero8 all have the same chip??? (GP1) Shouldn't they perform similarly with a firmware update, thus saving $$$ from upgrading to the newer model? Just saying..........Thanks for another great video!!!
Good job on creating this comparison video of the gopros 8 & 7 , I am a moto-vlogger who has created over 280+ videos on UA-cam using the gopro hero 8 black but after 2 years of continuous use of moto vlogging with my hero 8 black and purple panda lav mic my hero 8 doesnt work with the mic anymore I've tried replacing both mic and gopro mic adapter but the issue is with the camera itself I think I plugged in the mic adapter in & out one to many times ? I tried calling gopro they told me that they think I need a new c port because the camera works very well with out a external mic but it doesn't help me out as I mentioned I'm a moto-vlogger trying to moto vlog without using an external lav mic my subscribers and viewers will not hear me to well and will hear alot of wind noise interference...😔 so I've been looking for a new or refurbished gopro hero 8 black I was thinking maybe I could buy a hero 7 black that how I came to watching your comparison video here this morning great in depth comparison video mate it definitely helped me make up my mind in which gopro I should buy ? I'm going with the gopro hero 8 black because your comparison video clearly shows that the video captures with the hero 8 brings out more color then the hero 7 the hero 7 has a slightly more dull look then the hero 8 vibrant colorful look . I would pause your video when I wanted to really study the comparison between both cameras and the hero 8 definitely had the colors of the green grass & tree leaves looking greener as with the colors of everything else that was recorded!😁👍 thanks again mate for going out of your way to create such a great comparison video of these 2 wonderful action cameras of gopro hero 8 & 7 black ...😁👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
too much stabilization can take away from the quality of experience of viewing the video. If you record driving on a bumpy road and you want to draw the viewer in and convey to him what it felt like racing through a rough terrain, you're out of luck if you set the stabilization too high. The viewer of the video will be feeling like a disengaged viewer, versus a viewer who gets to feel the rough terrain with you because you didn't mask it with stabilization. it keeps it more real, and keeps the viewer more engaged when we don't mask things ... this - from a movie writing point of view
One thing I’d love to see is the lens changed on the 7 (cover comes off and lens can be unscrewed) to a non fisheye wide angle and see comparison between HyperSmooth on and off (just walking)
They seem to keep dropping in and out of a flatter colour profile...I prefer the flatter look as the other one is too contrasty and a little too saturated. Eg. 6:09 look at the one on the right, drops to contrasty look then back to flat.. It also happens on the 8 during other tests.
Thanks for your video ! This helped me confirm my Gopro 8 is not only the issue. I switched from 7 to 8 and not so happy with it. Built-in mount on 8 is nice though. I mostly use it underwater for diving and usually requires extra housing. So that benefit of 8 kinda became useless for me. Do any of you experience highlights being burnt on 8 ?? Even on this video, I noticed your forehead is blown on 8's footage more than 7. I use mine mostly underwater and anything shiny or if there is uneven lighting, the highlight is just burnt for me which has been annoying experience with the hero 8. Thinking to switch to 9 or go back to 7.
I always said that the 7 was better than the 8.... Personally I don't dive or film under water very often so I can't really comment on that. Here is my comparison between the 8 and 9: ua-cam.com/video/BUbVvzXYCm4/v-deo.html
Wonderful test and video. I do think a simple Runcam2 or something without stabilization so we can see the non stabilizer footage in a little window in the middle would be more impressive for both.
7 has more realistic colors, where 8 has over-saturation and therefore more unrealistic colors; and where 8 has more stabilization, it can kill the quality of experience that less stabilization can convey; but 7 has issues with the battery handling/compartment that is a struggle to open, and in 8 you can't replace the lens, which is a total killer
So you swapped some of the night time footage between the 8 and the 7 as in one section the 8 is the darker looking more saturated cam and then in the other vid the 7 is the dark looking more saturated cam.
Redskull at 11:31 the 8 is the darker more saturated one and then at 12:31 the 7 is the darker more saturated one. Maybe you did some color correction and then swapped it or maybe the shutter and isos where change on both cams or maybe you just swapped them by mistake
you saved me from the gopro 9... tqsm... been scrolling from yesterday searching for something that is a good quality that can save me from spending lot of money...
What a great video comparing the two cameras. The main difference is that GoPro 8 has over all better image stabilization. The GoPro 8 is so worth it only if you need that extra stabilization for your videos.
I like the sound and image of the GP7 much more. nice review. just one more word HELMET. I'd like to keep you mind around. keep it up and thanks. I use ND Filters on my GP7Black.
I like the bright colorful look of the 8 images. I feel like they update the old cameras to look worse when the new ones come out. I feel like the 7 looked just as good as the 8 back when the 7 came out. Have they fixed the buggy operation issues with the 7? I might buy one again
No problem there Is a couple of videos on youtube if you want to look them up there are some youtuber who do that and use the gopro as there main blogging and video camera but they buy a separate mic
I bought a GoPro 7 and I cant tell you, that this product is a waste of money. For those people who plan to use this camera for outdoor... bright and shinny day, then you can can good video... but once your indoors... even if you have descent lighting... the video will be blurred. The sensor is just too small... The photo quality is absolutely horrible. For those people who are looking for a small camera to bring around... perhaps travel with, or perhaps use it to take photos and videos of your kids recital... this is not the camera to use. This is only for outdoor sunny day use... that's all. Even for those bloggers who are looking to get a more compact camera, easy to take around... this camera isnt work you... the low light video and photo quality is horrible. Another bad thing about the camera is the zoom! The zoom completely makes the video useless. The gopro 7 & 8 should perform more or less the same... its the same tiny sensor. I suggest you can get an older model of the Sony RX100 or Ganon G7X models... at least you can use it for multi purpose use... for those who engage in outdoor activity, perhaps you can find a case that will protect the sony and canon camera... In addition, the camera gets really hot... so hot wherein its uncomfortable to hold it.. Another issue is that the lens is too wide. This might be okay if you want to video a city scape and you need extra wide angle. But if you need a closer shot, this camera is not for you... you need to get so close to your subject to get close up shots... remember zoom in this camera will totally ruin your videos and photos. Dont get carried away with all those amazing videos that you see Gopro puts out... those videos goes through lots of post work to make it look that great. Its not like you pop open a brand new GoPro and right away your video will look like that... no way! And notice most nice videos are outdoor sunny day videos... its never low light...
I bought the 7 black due to mountain bike, I crack 2 lenses already, 8 nope because once you crack the lens you need to buy another 1 what the heck it's called action camera for a reason come go pro.. next upgrade for me I'll get DJI I'm dropping go pro from now on. GO pro 7 is my last g.p.
General Family Cam/ Youtubing/ Adobe Premier Editing? Excellent review. New to videoing. Been using video ability of Coolpixs camera and want to get camcorder. Found many limitations to using camera videoing. I like the compactness and portability of GoPro’s. I am sure it would be grand for general family videoing and a bit of underwater shots. Would it be good for making UA-cam video’s? What about dumping into Adobe Premier and making special effects videos? Been dabbling in both recently. Thanks in advance for advice!

Hello! Is gopro 7 still good in 2021?
100%! cheaper now as well, I would get one if looking for an action camera
Wow! Cool. Thank you so much!!!
Really good review and no bias:)
Thanks for checking it out!!
I bought a GoPro 7 and I cant tell you, that this product is a waste of money. For those people who plan to use this camera for outdoor... bright and shinny day, then you can can good video... but once your indoors... even if you have descent lighting... the video will be blurred. The sensor is just too small... The photo quality is absolutely horrible. For those people who are looking for a small camera to bring around... perhaps travel with, or perhaps use it to take photos and videos of your kids recital... this is not the camera to use. This is only for outdoor sunny day use... that's all. Even for those bloggers who are looking to get a more compact camera, easy to take around... this camera isnt work you... the low light video and photo quality is horrible. Another bad thing about the camera is the zoom! The zoom completely makes the video useless. The gopro 7 & 8 should perform more or less the same... its the same tiny sensor. I suggest you can get an older model of the Sony RX100 or Ganon G7X models... at least you can use it for multi purpose use... for those who engage in outdoor activity, perhaps you can find a case that will protect the sony and canon camera... In addition, the camera gets really hot... so hot wherein its uncomfortable to hold it.. Another issue is that the lens is too wide. This might be okay if you want to video a city scape and you need extra wide angle. But if you need a closer shot, this camera is not for you... you need to get so close to your subject to get close up shots... remember zoom in this camera will totally ruin your videos and photos. Dont get carried away with all those amazing videos that you see Gopro puts out... those videos goes through lots of post work to make it look that great. Its not like you pop open a brand new GoPro and right away your video will look like that... no way! And notice most nice videos are outdoor sunny day videos... its never low light...
Thanks for sharing. Yes, action cameras are only good outdoors on sunny days

@@RedskullPro lol
Very well done ! I was waiting for that :)
I bought the 7 black due to mountain bike, I crack 2 lenses already, 8 nope because once you crack the lens you need to buy another 1 what the heck it's called action camera for a reason come go pro.. next upgrade for me I'll get DJI I'm dropping go pro from now on. GO pro 7 is my last g.p.
I am also looking forward to the next DJI camera!
Extremly useful - thank you very much for this one!
I'm glad it was useful! Thanks for watching!
Compare flat profile of the both
That would have been a good idea
Is it a good to use a tempered glass on lens screen ??
I personally don’t use any screen protectors on any devices...but I am pretty careful with my things
When you are running at 6:30, the video from the gopro 7 looks more stable.
Standard stablization.
Great review thanks
Thanks for checking it out!
Which shall I buy ... 7 or 8
Get the 7, cheaper and I personally prefer the videos from that one
Horse riding test at 06:20
Great review, I need two GoPros and it looks like I'm buying one of each.
The 7 is still pretty good
The non replaceable len definitely a deal breaker
How often do you break the glass?
Redskull just broke my insta 360 last week. 😢
Great review Mate..
Thanks for checking it out!
General Family Cam/ Youtubing/ Adobe Premier Editing? Excellent review. New to videoing. Been using video ability of Coolpixs camera and want to get camcorder. Found many limitations to using camera videoing. I like the compactness and portability of GoPro’s. I am sure it would be grand for general family videoing and a bit of underwater shots. Would it be good for making UA-cam video’s? What about dumping into Adobe Premier and making special effects videos? Been dabbling in both recently. Thanks in advance for advice!
Personally I use Final Cut Pro X because it doesn't crash as much as Adobe...
Gopro 7 $158
Gopro 8 $200
Which one i should buy ?
The 7 isn’t bad at all.. and for that price can’t go wrong
the 8 makes you look thinner.
It seems as if the go pro 7 owners are not being honest. I'm seeing that 8 is better.
Picked one up for 80$ let’s see how it goes
Good price
very nice vidéo ty for your help
The 8 audio sounds muffled.
Ești cumva din românia?
salut, da
audio sounds better on go pro 7 though.
GoPro has been messing up the skin tones, Idk what happened
Thx buying the GoPro 7 now
Best review I saw
i'm glad it was useful! Thanks for watching!
Excellent. Many Thanks.
hii I am from India and I want to purchase the GoPro camera today-2020-11-14, so can you please suggest me for Less budget?
