Review on Action Camera SJCAM SJ4000 WiFi, 12MP, 1920x1080, 900 mAh, black by Hwang Jiya ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Since September of 2022, I've been making use of this particular camera (actually since the release). Before that, there was an earlier version that did not have wifi; I gave it to my parents so they could use it on their DVR. Prior to that, I borrowed the GoPro 3 and the GoPro 3+ from some friends. ❍ Strangely, but in accordance with my own experiences, SJCAM satisfied me more in terms of its ease of use and absence of bugs! When it came to goprohs, there were always some minor issues, such as with the battery, freezing, and unexpected on/off behavior. As a result of this, not a single video was damaged in any way. = ((( However despite this, we did not experience any issues with the SJ4000. Maybe just lucky. ❍ It is wonderful that the maker continues to develop and maintain its product; new firmware is made available on a regular basis, and the product continues to improve in terms of its aesthetic quality, clarity, and use. ❍ The SJ has a color screen, which is a feature that is lacking on many other high-end action cameras. ❍ I'm quite happy that the SJ comes in vibrant colors like as yellow (for the first camera) or blue (second camera). They make me feel better overall! =) ❍ According to the quality of the video: I don't have displays with a really high resolution, thus there's nowhere for me to watch content in 4K. And I am aware that people who possess it are unable to distinguish between the two. In 99.9% of situations, the eyes can handle just Full HD resolution. The white balance of the SJ is set to be quite cool by default, and it is important to keep this in mind while you are watching comparison videos with other cameras on YouTube. It appeared to me at first that this was a jam, but some of my friends informed me that the equilibrium can be simply adjusted in any video editor, just as it can be done for a photograph. Therefore, if your hands are in the right position, you will get a very respectable picture! =) ▸ YouTube, in general, treats all of its users the same by applying a one-size-fits-all approach, shamelessly compressing and blinding areas of the video that are the same hue. However, even the capabilities of the SJ4000 are insufficient for streaming videos over the internet. If you take pictures with an SJCAM, you should immediately turn off the time stamp in the settings. Since most people do not set the time on their cameras, the date that appears at the bottom of your pictures will be incorrect and unsightly.

Pros
  • Value for money Image A great number of mounts included and generally compatible with GoPro Excellent build quality (plastic is extremely nice to the touch, no gaps, or backlashes) Colorful and cheery body colors:)))
Cons
  • ✗ So-so photo quality (of course there are no 12 Mpx) ✗ The buttons on the aquabox are tight (change the settings only without it!) a lack of a remote control (this isn't a deal breaker for me, but for others it is), and side buttons that aren't very responsive
