GoPro Hero9 Black vs Nikon Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm

This was not the camera for the job. Although the picture quality is excellent, everything else left much to be desired. The battery life is very short and if you do not have extras, your shoot will be severely put on hold. Image stabilization is there, but not as impressive as advertisements and commercials would have you believe

Manual focus will not work at all. I'm very disappointed with the lack of longevity of this lens. I do not have a disposable income! I would have thought the lens would have lasted a long time since it was a Nikon. Bottom line, if you can afford to replace this lens every 12-14 months, then it's well worth it for the quality and clarity of photos this lens can give you

So your phones memory is constantly being written to when offloading from the GoPro camera and then again by exporting from GoPro Quick app to phone which wears down the memory chip in the phone. Not to mention it also creates duplicates, one on the GoPro Quick app and one on the phone wasting space and ultimately bumping into space problems when trying to export large media from app to phone. This design is terrible and has been reported by hundreds of people for several years and GoPro has done nothing about it. This design is obviously tied to them pushing their subscription cloud service which is a poor business practice and leads to people like me placing a big fat 1 star review

We don't knock a lens too much for dim corners, as it's something that's not hard to correct. It's a fine compromise to make in order to achieve such a lightweight design.

The lens is sharp and you can set the camera to work in Raw format if you want. It's especially appealing if you want ultra-wide shots and don't want to invest in an interchangeable lens camera or upgrade your smartphone to a model with an ultra-wide lens.

I returned this lens. It just wasn't sharp enough, IQ wasn't very good compared to any of my other Nikons. I took some shots of the moon with it on the D850, and the shots I took with at 105mm and cropped with my 105mm macro were actually better than the ones taken at 300mm with this lens. I ordered a Tamron 70-200 G2 with the money from this and it is much higher quality

Cons: *This GoPro is considerably larger and heavier than previous go pros. You are going to feel it if it is attached to your head or on a long extension. This is the price for a front LCD screen as well as improved image stabilisation I think.

Light weight helps when carrying it around with my D7500 body all day. Highly recommend this lens if you are looking for a great zoom in this focal length range.
