GoPro Hero9 Black vs Nikon Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm

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

Underperforming zooms often drop in quality at the telephoto extreme. That is not the case with the 70-200mm f/2.8E. It notches 3,218 lines at 200mm f/2

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

I like a heavy lens. The Tamron is slightly lighter, and the focus rings could be smoother. The Nikon wins in build quality and ease of focusing/zooming. Overall, the Nikon 70-200mm f/2

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.

This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. 50mm lens makes me think more about the shots. * AF-S 60mm f/2

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.

I posted a few sample image that I took with this news lens. Regarding the weight, you know what you are getting into, so, don't complain. Don't buy a Porsche and expect to put regular unleaded gas. Bottom line, you only live once, get it and you will be very happy with this lens
