New GoPro 9 just came out.
Deal only for this week is $50 off the retail price. Includes 1 year of their subscription unlimited cloud storage, free camera replacement, and 50% off accessories. Also includes a 32gb sd card. This is actually a really good deal considering the camera replacement insurance alone is another $50.

For $50 more they also have a bundle that includes several accessories.
The major changes from the Hero 8 are a front-facing screen (like the DJI), image stabilization now includes horizon stabilization, and it can record up to 5k video (vs. 4k)
I just ordered one and will report back on the real differences.

Amazon gave me refunds for the cards even tho one was over a year old and I threw them in the trash.
Next memory cards I buy will be directly from Best Buy via price matching to Amazon.
That seems to be the best/safest solution.
First, if you are already a gopro subscriber, they give you an additional discount on the camera. I am not, so I couldn't see what the discount actually was.
When you check out, they break out the subscription cost (49.99) separately from the bundle cost and ask you to acknowledge it. At first, I was confused and thought they were adding this to the total cost, but when I checked out, it wasn't added. I did have to pay tax, and 2-day shipping was free.

buy an iphone 11 now and a month later they come out with new line.
Same with Nvidia RTX cards, think about the people who bought 2080ti.
it's called progression.

Granted, it still requires editing in (free) Davinci Resolve which takes some time to learn and some computing power to handle decently.
If GoPro subscription is purchased as part of a bundled camera promotion, customer may cancel the subscription portion of the bundle post purchase and acknowledges they will be charged the full retail price of the camera.
is it mean that you cannot cancel your subscription during the first year and you gonna be automatically changed for 2nd year? and only after that you can cancel?
You can always try to call in for a price match.

If you change your mind and want to return the camera, you're still stuck with the subscription, so you'd only get $300 back.
So if it auto-renews and you're charged $50 for year 2, I would think you could then cancel at the start of year 2, and get almost all of your second $50 back (pro-rated for whatever time you had it.)
You may cancel Your Subscription at any time as described in Section 6, effective at the end of the billing period. You can access all the Subscription benefits until your cancellation is effective and no refund will be issued.

Yes but testing my cards was time consuming and then I had to deal w getting refunded. I'd rather not worry so much or need to deal w this again in the future.

Tried calling to change my order but it had shipped and turned into a hassle.
A bit dishonest offer/bundle if you ask me.
Hero9 Black (camera only) + Subscription + all accessories from bundle = $391.45
