If you are looking to upgrade from a Hero8 to a Hero9, then you should read this comparison of GoPro Hero9 Black vs Hero8 Black action cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to the action camera industry, you must have heard about GoPro as a leading brand in this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In October 2019, GoPro released the Hero8 Black action camera<\/a> alongside the GoPro Max<\/a> which is a 360\u00b0 camera. GoPro has now made the Hero9 Black<\/a> release in its line of action cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEE ALSO<\/strong>: GoPro Max vs. Hero8 Black<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both cameras are powered by GoPro’s proprietary GP1 Processor although the Hero9 Black has a 23.6-megapixel sensor that is capable of capturing 20MP stills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A major upgrade that has been seen with the GoPro Hero9 Black<\/a> is the introduction of a front-facing color screen that replaces the traditional LED status screen that rocked the GoPro cameras for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The front screen means that you can now get a smoother vlogging experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We now have HyperSmooth 3.0 and TimeWarp 3.0 with the new Hero9 Black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HyperSmooth 2 was a nice EIS that gave out almost wobble-free footage from rugged actions. We expect HyperSmooth 3 to deliver even better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hero9 Black has a detachable lens, something that was not there with the Hero8 Black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This feature has made it possible for GoPro to introduce an accessory named Max Lens Mod which will give you a very wide FOV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GoPro Hero9 Black has improved pixels, capable of recording videos with a maximum resolution of 5K at 30 frames per second. Hero8 Black only managed 4K at 60 frames per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GoPro Hero8 Black<\/a> comes with the advantage of having a lower price tag because it is a year old now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are stuck in a dilemma of choosing between these two cameras, continue reading my comparison post because I will touch on all important aspects of the two cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a GoPro older than Hero8 then you can check my ultimate GoPro comparison article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me start with a detailed comparison table that highlights the technical specifications of both cameras side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
