I'm hoping to buy a new GoPro to replace my Hero 2 
And I'm actually wondering if (price aside) there are any DOWNSIDES to the Hero 8 Black by comparison?
For example - are accessories more expensive?
For that matter are they necessary? Lens protectors etc.
(I gather there is no backward compatibility with the Hero 8? Then again I'm not sure if my old accessories (cases etc) from the Hero 2 are even compat8ible with the 7. Possibly not).
Are the 'improvements' in the Hero 8 largely theoretical?
Use, obviously, would be primarily for motovlogging.
What are the differences between the two as far as microphone inputs? Do both need the chunky brick adaptor?
Interestingly as far as I can find on ebay.com.au for new ones - the Hero 7 blacks are listed for prices very close to the Hero 8 blacks.
Feedback welcome, particularly those based on personal experience.
