I want to buy GoPro. I can’t decide what is better, waiting for GoPro 10 or buy Numero 9??
I missed bundle on GoPro site few days ago…

People are PUSHING Rumor dates Sept 15th 2021 do you think it is worth the wait

It depends on how quickly you "need" a GoPro ...
The Hero9 is available - nobody knows when the Hero10 will really come, what it will be able to do and what it will cost. However, there are many rumors

 

[pTomic]

Thanks for your fast answers.
I read about better CPU, but I probably don't need that because I just want to have some memories from vacation or snorkeling, and probably some sunrises and sunsets...
So maybe, I will buy my GPH9 tomorrow.

actualy you do need that better cpu, because the old one was pushed to its limits , causing overheating and all sorts of issues.
I would wait for the reviews of the H10 first.

Best of Luck Options are endless.

I will tell you a good camera to get, and you tell me the issues you got when you have that Hero?

$50 plus today DJI Osmo Action camera

Considering its so close, I'd wait for the H10 and then decide......
If you still decide to go with the H9, then the price could drop once the H10 is released......

Do you suggest buying DJI Osmo Action instead GPH9?
I checked prices in my country, the difference is 100-120$, so it's noticable.

By some rumors, they will increase the price of GPH10, so GPH9 will have, probably, the same price...

that be all you. when you make your decision (SMILES)

 

[pTomic]

After continuously reading about bugs, glitches, and problems with GPH9, I will consider my decision for buying...
On the list where was one product only, now are 3.
GPH8, DJI Osmio Action, and GPH10... In the written order...

 

[Fish]

all old models are left online till sold out. always look for the latest, or other cameras latest.

 

[pTomic]

I hope that GPH8 will available for a couple of days after GPH10 starts selling, on GoPro site.

Do you really believe with a Hero 8 whose update was a year ago or a Hero 10, which will probably only have all features and functionalities after the 2nd update (that was the case with the Hero8 and also with the Hero9 ...) you have fewer problems than with a Hero9? I have an 8 and a 9 and after initial problems and various firmware updates, both now work perfectly, although the 9 can do more - such as e.g. better stabilization or horizontal leveling.

What FW you use for GPH9?
I would buy Hero 9 if problems with memory card are solved or problem with vertical line on center of footage.
I read about that problems here, on this forum.
Like I said I’m a regular user, some vacations, a little snorkeling, few sunsets and sunrises..

I am using the current FW:

HERO9 BLACK

gopro.com

I always carried out the updates manually and never via the APP!

But I've never had problems with memory cards (I use a 512gb from Samsung: https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Speic...512HA-EU/dp/B085FGJDP9/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE= % C3% 85M% C3% 85% C5% BD% C3% 95% C3% 91 & dchild = 1 & keywords = samsung + micro + sd + 512 & qid = 1631771586 & qsid = 260-4721706-7022535 & sr = 8-3 & sres = B085FGJDP9% 2CB089S03B03% 2CB089S03B03HPS % 2CB09D3LP52K% 2CB07JGCKQD6% 2CB086DY73DD% 2CB08GY99LX8% 2CB07DKJTNJS% 2CB07CYFR48N% 2CB08BKCB4JW% 2CB08B5CT1TP% 2CB08HCK44DK% 2CB06XFF7SQN% 2CB073S49S8M% 2CB06XFSZGCC & SRPT = FLASH_MEMORY) or "split" screen - My videos (whether 2k7, 4k or 5k) were always error-free. My 9 series never got too hot either. Even if I had installed it behind the windshield in the car and supplied it with power via a USB cable. In order to dissipate any heat that may arise, I mount both the 8 and the 9 on it:

The "problems" only existed at the beginning with FW 1.0 when not all features were available and some still had bugs. Now with FW 1.6 everything fits.
If you are keen to experiment, you can also use a "GoProLabs FW":

There are some interesting features ...
I also advise you to compare!
The Hero 9 costs on Amazon:
