A:AnswerBattery life depends on the settings you choose. At the highest frame rates and resolutions, you should get about 45 minutes of recording time. At lower or more standard frame rates and resolutions, you can expect up to about an hour and 20 minutes of recording time.
A:AnswerYes, it is possible to live stream to YouTube using the HERO8 Black. We have some instructional information at https://community.gopro.com/t5/en/Getting-Started-With-Live-Streaming/ta-p/395877 that will help get that started.

A:AnswerGopro takes good picturea nd better action video's. Gopro has many apps that edit and can do cool stuff with using an iOS or android, uploading via wifi, bluetooth or cable. I have a Nikon camera for formal pictures.
