    SJCAM is a brand well known for its awesome action cameras. Or ... used to be. After releasing iconic models such as SJ4000, SJ6 Legend, SJ7 Star, it's time to check one of their cheapest devices ever: SJ4K. There are a lot of disturbing facts I stumbled across while testing though...

    It’s really a shame SJCAM has fallen so far in recent years, the SJ4000 helped makes their name, the SJ5000 Elite showed their attention to improvements as well as the SJ6 and SJ7 Star and SJ8 Pro then it all collapsed after that.
    Their firmware updates are now nonexistent compared to years ago when they constantly improved their cameras performance.

    I think most of cheap action cameras nowadays are a scam. They do not deliver what they promise. It is really hard to figure out what action camera to buy without your Michael expert advice!

    The 4K low light footage looked better than the 4000 series in my opinion. Seemed to have a bit more detail and better colouring.

    I’m still using my SJ4000 for really extreme condition, it’s still functioning quite ok but missing the OIS which can be annoying for certain situations. Sadly they didn’t really progress much in comparison to brands like Akaso.

    Yep! I had an sj7 star for years and used it as my sole camera for my motovlogs. It was good enough but leaves you wanting. Bugs here and there. Hangs on me and does not read my card at times. Don't mention the app. 😄

    Did not have high expectations after you mentioned a few concerns in the beginning. And i was correct. I don't mind a camera that just has good 1080p, but EIS must without question be good as well. Nice honest review Michael. (Camera should be called SJ SCAM 🤣)

  • @Marrawi01
    @Marrawi01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I believe i had the previous model of 2018 i think it came with a lot of accessories i used it for mtb and the camera is ok but it cannot go pass 30 fps only 60 and 4k is bs no such thing looks no different than 1080p so ok for biking not necessarily trips or anything.

  • @KevinHallSurfing
    @KevinHallSurfing 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Same with ThiEYE. The T5/T5e was very good for its time. The T5 Pro, though touch screen was good, the colour grading, EIS etc not so good. No action cameras over the last few years since T5Pro and i60+. Most old f/w T5e etc all deleted too.

    • @KevinHallSurfing
      @KevinHallSurfing 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Considering the SJ4K is around AUD $100 and SJ10 Pro is AUD $320 seems a red flag. Have also seen it advertised as "underwater action camera" and vid samples were pretty good for underwater. May explain the standard vids are "reddish"? Have seen NT96675 SoC in various dashcams only.

    Regarding the comment most of the mount accessories would be usefless for most - are you serious? I use the helmet mount, the bike handlebar mount, the underwater case and tripod mounts. Just sayin'
    while the other cameras you links in your comments are certainly excellent products they are also 6 to 8 times the price, so not a viable solution for somebody on the peanut butter budget LOL. I still thought your review was extremely well done and very much enjoyed it!

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, thanks for the comment!
      I find most cheap helmet mounts unreliable, and the bike hook - there are a lot better solutions out there. I really almost never use these accessories and so do most of my friends.
      But looks like you do, and this is great!

    SJCam used to produce interesting and good cameras in years gone by, but this 2022 revisit of the SJ4000 is pretty pathetic, especially because they had to resort to scamming people into thinking its a 4K camera. Bah!
