Gopro Hero 8 vs Hero 12 | Side by Side Comparison

Here is a side by side comparison of the Gopro Hero 8 vs the Hero 12. Both cameras are set at 4k 30fps Hypersmooth on and sharpness at medium. All other settings are auto.

I have the 8 and it's way way better than what you show here... I'd only be interested in the 12 for better low-light performance.

[@1lovelucas]

You say that, but this is the difference using the exact same settings. The 12 is way better point blank. No settings will make the 8 comparable to the 11/12. This camera isn't made for low light, so no point in comparing. Plus I sold my 8, I wanted a removable lens to use ND filters and the max lens mod.

​@@1lovelucasNope, my hero 5 is way better than that shitty picture quality you showed xDDDD

[@DaStuntChannel]

Damn it looks way better, the left one has so much more detail

[@1lovelucas]

@@DaStuntChannel 100%, double the megapixels can do that. I'm thinking about picking up the newer x4 and doing a comparison

[@DaStuntChannel]

Its not the megapixels, its definately the sharpness settings

Bro, I have the Hero 8 and it takes much better video than what's in this video. Might want to check to make sure you have the best settings setup. That said, if you're reviewing both cameras straight out of the box, than the 12 look significantly better. Thanks for the video!

[@1lovelucas]

The comparison is using the exact same settings, not settings optimized for the camera or light conditions (mostly auto white balance, iso, etc). The 8 is still a decent camera, but obviously less resolution than the 12. Plus the ability to replace the lens is a big upgrade. If you want me to compare them with different settings just let me know

[@SuperJam2001]

Ok. Thanks for the video and for your reply!

[@nelsondamjuarezm.652]

Excellent comparison, make the video bro, many of us will thank you

[@1lovelucas]

Thanks, will do!
