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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

❍ I have been using this camera since September 2022 (actually since the release). Before that, there was a previous version without wifi (I gave it to my parents on the DVR), and even earlier I took it from my friends GoPro 3 and GoPro 3+. ❍ Surprisingly, but according to my personal impressions, SJCAM pleased me more with convenience and bug-free! With goprohs, there were always some small troubles with a battery, freezing and spontaneous on / off. Because of this, not a single video was ruined . = ((( But somehow there were no problems with the SJ4000. Maybe just lucky. ❍ It's nice that the manufacturer develops and supports its product - new firmware is released regularly, which become more beautiful, clearer, more convenient. ❍ The SJ has a color screen that many top action cameras don't have. ❍ I'm really glad that SJ has bright colors like yellow (first camera) or blue (second camera). They lift my spirits! =) ❍ By video quality: ▸ I don't have super resolution monitors, so there's simply nowhere for me to watch 4K. And those who have it, I know, cannot see the difference. Full HD is enough for the eyes in 99% of cases. ▸ The white balance of the SJ is pretty cold by default, and this is what you most often pay attention to when watching comparison videos with other cameras on YouTube. At first it also seemed to me that this was a jamb, but my friends suggested that the balance is easily corrected in any video editor, as well as for a photo. So having hands from the right place, you get a very decent picture! =) ▸ In general, YouTube equalizes everyone one size fits all, shamelessly squeezing and blinding parts of the video that are similar in color. So for videos on the Internet, even the capabilities of the SJ4000 are too much. ✯ Recommendations: if you take SJCAM, immediately turn off the time stamp in the settings, otherwise no one usually sets the Time, and there will be an ugly and incorrect date at the bottom.

Pros
  • ✔︎ Value for money ✔︎ Picture ✔︎ A huge number of mounts included and generally compatible with GoPro ✔︎ Good build quality (plastic is very pleasant to the touch, no gaps, backlashes) ✔︎ Bright and cheerful 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!) ✗ No remote control (I don't care, but for some it's important) ✗ Weak side buttons
