I don't see any real image quality upgrade here... Just some new hardware gymmics. By the way, the comparison between the DJI and Insta360 is not fair at all, you place the gopros on the chest (much more stable) and the others on the handlebar (super shaky)

Correct. You clearly see the GP9 loosing from the 7+8 under low light circumstances. This is because they have added more pixels to the same sensor size. Yep, the sensor size is the same! So actually your videos and photo's do not gain in quality, they gain in pixels. You want to gain real overall quality? Increase the sensor size. Same issue goes for reflex cameras DS (small sensor) and FX (large sensor)

@@paulorrfilho There's unlikely to be many people as strict as I am on money from companies I review. Or anything from companies I review. On my main site (which is the majority of what I do), I don't allow ads from any companies that I review or write pieces on. They're blocked with hard blocks at Google AdSense. For products I review, they get sent back to companies. For customs payments...I pay them myself (which aren't refundable despite the products going back) - this alone is thousands of dollars per year. For travel, I pay it myself. Last year when GoPro had meetings in Paris for the Hero 8 launch, I paid my own tickets to Paris, and all travel costs associated with it. And still gave the cameras/gear back afterwards. I agree there's lots of poor influencer stuff out there, but frankly - you're barking up the wrong tree here.

On paper, the camera looks good and it might be my first ever gopro. But I need reliability. I need to be sure that when I press the rec button, the camera will function as it's supposed to.
