Review on GoPro HERO8 (CHDHX-801-RW): Black Edition, 12MP, 3840x2160, 1220mA h - Shop Now! by Celina Niemyjska ᠌

The build quality is average, but the camera is really nice for everyone who uses it. If I'm being completely honest, I'd want to see a reduction in the asking price. Some pros: The level of photography is satisfactory. There is no wow impact, to be honest, but I utilized a lot of action cameras, I like the picture here more than on the others. The camera mounting options with retractable legs were convenient (no need to carry additional frames with you). I read a number of irate reviews where people complained that the legs were of poor quality, that they had a nightmare-inducing blowback, that everything was shaking, etc. So, I do not have any issues of this kind. There is a backlash, but it is rather minor and does not in any way damage the overall quality of the shot. This microplay does not result in any forward movement at all. Straight fire with stabilization at the camera well. Because I was going to be spending two weeks hiking in the mountains, I decided to get it. I didn't want to lug around a Chinese action camera that came with a cumbersome steadicam, so I relied on the built-in stabilization instead (I read a lot of reviews, and everything seemed to point in a very positive direction), and as practice demonstrated, I didn't end up coming out on the losing end. The video's stabilization is obviously not as good as it would be with a steadicam, but there is absolutely no evidence of hand tremor, and the steps have been smoothed out extremely effectively. To summarize, at the post-processing stage I did not apply any more stubs in Adobe Premiere at any point. In comparison, I shot it on a cheap well-known camera from a well-known Chinese brand without a steadicam in conditions very similar to those last year, and the footage from that camera, even after it was processed, was just so-so. I really liked the ability to quickly shoot. I turned on the camera by pressing the record button on the back of the camera when it was off, then I clicked the button again, the video was saved, and the camera went back to being off. Because there is no need to wait around with the camera turned on all the time, this PPC is useful, particularly when there is a need to conserve battery power. You proceed, you find a picture that you like, you press the button, and now everything is well. You can control the switching of modes by swiping on the touch screen or by pressing the button on the side of the device. In general, the control is convenient, the menu is quite user-friendly, and the device is easy to navigate. Con: The overall build quality. It came as an unwelcome shock to me when I saw the build quality of the camera considering I paid thirty thousand rubles for it. No, really, the Chinese don't let themselves this on cameras that cost between one hundred and one fifty dollars, but here you are with it. The gaps in the case are a half millimeter, and the PPC camera warms up when charging, which is why the display on the front side suffered color divorces (I've googled it, and it appears that I'm not the only one who has this problem). The display is functional, and the issue does not impact the operation in any way; however, there is a sediment, which means that the appearance of the camera has been compromised; for instance, it will be more challenging to sell it in the years to come. The hinged cover is a detriment for some people (it is possible, for example, to misplace it), but I did not experience any issues with it. All you have to do is remember to be careful when changing the battery, and other than that, there are no other issues. In my opinion, in order to successfully replace the battery, you need to be so clumsy that you lose it.
