I have never had any issues with my SJ8 Pro running firmware 1.2.0 but I've seen a lot of people complain about it and SJCAM released a new firmware at the beginning of July firmware 1.2.4, so I decided to do a comparison video of both shooting in 4K@30fps with gyro on and all settings the same.
IMO the new firmware has a overexposed issue which is really noticeable in the pool shots and I've also included still screen grabs from each firmware to show the difference.  Even the audio is better IMO on the 1.2.0 so I'm rolling back to that firmware.
Comment below what YOU thought of each firmware !
