Original SJCAM SJ5000X 4K Sport Action Camera ( Elite Edition )

What’s new and improved over past versions of this camera:
1) Gyro anti-shake image stabilization – I haven’t yet devised a way to test this more scientifically other than shaking the camera with my hands. It can’t remove all the shaking, but it does dramatically improve the video.
2) Adjustable field of view – you have your pick of 170, 140, 110, and 70 degrees field of view. The 110 and 70 degree settings look the same to me. I can’t tell if they are just using digital zoom and cropping the image down or if the camera actually moves the lens. The image quality looks a little worse to me on the narrower field of view settings, but not significantly.
3) 4k video at 24fps – I haven’t played with this much.

The time lapse function works well if you keep it plugged into power. I tried it unplugged and it lasted maybe an hour or two.

The camera took about a week to ship and arrived about a week later.

Suggestion

- The 110 and 70 degree field of view settings look the same.
- The camera battery doesn't last very long in time lapse mode

La cam è arrivata in 10 giorni. L'ho ordinata il 2 aprile ed è arrivata a casa con corriere Bartolini il 13, davvero veloce, non me lo aspettavo! Ottimo imballo e soprattutto grande cam, non ha deluso per niente le mie aspettative. La qualità costruttiva generale e delle immagini/video è da 9, davvero nulla da invidiare alle altre concorrenti. L'unico neo è l'app dedicata che potrebbe funzionare un pò meglio. Tengo a precisare che la batteria della versione ELITE X è identica a quella delle altre versioni serie 4000/5000 quindi, andate tranquilli nell'acquisto. È una cosa che sembra scontata ma in nessuna recensione ne fanno menzione. Altro consiglio è la spedizione Italia Express, 0 costi di spedizione/dogana e spedizione ultra veloce. In più c'è solo da inserire l'assicurazione sulla stessa per una questione di tranquillità personale che costa poco più di 3 euro ma che dà la sicurezza che in caso di furto/smarrimento o danneggiamento della restituzione dell'intera cifra spesa.
Che dire, più che soddisfatto!

Suggestion

Consegna in 10 giorni lavorativi con corriere Bartolini. Spedizione Italia Express che garantisce 0 costi di spedizione/dogana ed il tracking della stessa.

- Very comparable to the Go-Pro line but more than 3/4 the price.
- Lighter in weight than the Go-Pro Hero 4.
- Many options and settings to choose from, especially with the latest firmware update.
- Very good video and picture quality...with exceptions as listed below.
- Comes in several different faceplate colors.
- Faceplate is interchangeable.
- Comes with so many attachments and so much more to choose from on the GearBest website and at very affordable prices as compared to Go-Pro brand accessories.
- Have tested this camera in the water with the waterproof housing and have had no issues with water leaking into the housing. It is sealed around the back cover, the lense and buttons very nicely.
- Camera is so compact that you can put it in your pocket and take it anywhere with you.

Suggestion

- Video colors look good in 1080p at 60fps, but very bright white tends to over saturate the video.
- Can only use zoom function with FOV (Field of View) turned off.
- When using the zoom function, video is very grainy, especially in the dark.
- Still pictures look good at 12MP, but when zooming in, weird patterns appear within the picture. Does not look good to me.
- Very easy to power on/off camera accidentally due to its location on the front faceplate next to the lense
- Delete function is not very user friendly.
- The battery compartment cover is not very easy to remove. The latch and the cover removal notch are so close together that you need a tool or smaller hands to remove the battery cover. It usually takes me about a minute to remove the battery cover.
- Wi-Fi function to your camera works fine, however, connection between this camera and my Samsung Galaxy S5 intermittently cuts out. Not a very stable connection.
- Although the Android App is functional, some functions could be improved.
- Needs a touchscreen. It would pay extra for that.

En primer lugar quiero destacar la gran relacion calidad precio de esta camara, tiene las mejores caracteristicas a lo que camaras deportivas se refiere, y si es cierto que los 4K que graba no son reales si no interpolados, la definicion que alcanza en la grabacion 2K es realmente buena. Ademas de que los demas modos de grabacion a parte de tener gran calidad pueden llegar hasta los 120 fps lo que permite grabacion a camara lenta. Otro gran punto positivo de esta camara es que viene con todos los accesorios que puedas necesitar, simplemente añadiendo un palo selfie o un mini tripode tienes la camara preparada para cualquier tipo de video o foto. Tambien destacar el gyro, el sensor sony y la capacidad de remoto por WiFi. Es en mi opinion la camara mas completa y mejor calidad respecto del precio

Suggestion

No permite tarjetas SD de mas de 32 Gb de capacidad, o al menos es lo que tengo entendido.
