SJCAM SJ4000 WiFi Reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Excellent video and normal photo
Disadvantages: I can not connect via wi fi from iPhone 6 (((
Comment: I studied all models of budget cameras of this type for a long time. The camera is needed as a matter of fact, perhaps a couple of times a year to polish and take pictures of the underwater world, well, plus a parachute jump .... I looked at a million tests and comparisons. I decided. I went home, I was very afraid that I would open and be disappointed. But, like that, delight)) The camera for such a price exceeded all my expectations, writes an excellent video, wrote, and in sunny weather and overcast. Sharpness, settings, color transfer I like everything. Believe me, for a home video this is above the roof, my iPhone 6 is a favorite and then it shoots worse)) I compared it with a go about my girlfriend, my camera is even more like her now!
Photos from the usual good phone. Handle so generally go great.
In the water shoots perfectly. Shot in the aquarium for the sample, amazing))
Boxing waterproof performed flawlessly. Accessories in the set so much that complete delight again and again. Immediately all for one amount.
In general, I honestly advise this camera for the usual family leisure, you can ride a bike and work out with paragliding and shoot fish under water in Egypt. And for other needs there are better cameras at home. This model is just super.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: 1. Price, of course.
2. Appearance (I have little white).
3. Good video quality.
4. Rich equipment.
5. WiFi module and control from a smartphone.
6. Ability to use as a DVR and webcam.
Disadvantages: 1. Sound recording quality. The microphone is rather weak.
2. Photographs about as mediocre phone.
3. 720p and 60 FPS - lies and profanity. Use 30 FPS and 1080p.
3. A transparent cap on the LED of the Wi-Fi fell out and was lost on the first day :(
Comment: I play with her for about a week. Impressions are generally very positive! Below are some of my impressions:
1. There are no competitors for such a price! And this is despite the fact that in our stores it is sold for 2-3 thousand rubles more than at one major online auction (I bought there for 4600 rubles).
2. When buying, be careful not to buy a fake. It is easy to distinguish - on the original there is the SJCAM logo and light screwdrivers around the camera's eye near the transparent case.
3. I recommend to immediately purchase a pair of spare batteries with a network charger and a monopod.
4. The charge lasts about 2 hours of video recording, which is approx.
5. Strange settings for the photo. It is possible to set a timer that will take pictures every 3 seconds, for example. I did not find the opportunity to make one photo 3 seconds after pressing the button.Of course, you can always take a photo through the application on the phone, but this is not always convenient.
6. By the way about the application (I have Androyd) - it certainly works, but it looks poor.
7. Recognizes memory cards only up to 32 GB.
8. Full compatibility with fasteners and most GoPro accessories.
The bottom line is the thing! There are a lot of comparisons with GoPro on the Internet, and somewhere this camera is better, somewhere worse. Considering that GoPro costs 4 times more,
doubts in the choice disappear by themselves (unless of course you do not want to overpay for the brand).
I am satisfied with the purchase, I recommend you too!

Disadvantages: Peresharp on medium sharpness, but on the high sharpness, I generally keep quiet ... Firmware places curves
Comment: Need to modify the firmware, very curve

Advantages: ✔︎ Value for money
Picture
✔︎ A huge number of mounts in the kit and in general their compatibility with GoPro
✔︎ Good build quality (plastic is very pleasant to the touch, there are no gaps, backlashes)
✔︎ Bright and fun body colors :)))
Disadvantages: ✗ So-so photo quality (of course there are no 12 MPHs)
✗ Toughened buttons at the aquabox (settings can only be changed without it!)
✗ No remote control (I do not care, but for some it is important)
✗ weak side buttons
Comment: ❍ I have been using this camera since September 2014 (actually since the release).
Before that, there was a previous version without wifi (I gave it to my parents on a DVR), and even earlier I took a drive from friends of GoPro 3 and GoPro 3+.
❍ Surprisingly, according to my personal impressions, SJCAM pleased me more with convenience and glitches!
There were always some small troubles with a battery, a hang and a spontaneous on / off switch. Because of this, no video was locked up ... = (((
But with the SJ4000 somehow there were no problems. Maybe just lucky.
❍ It's nice that the manufacturer develops and maintains its product - new firmware is regularly released, which becomes more beautiful, more understandable, more convenient.
❍ SJ has a color screen, which is not the case with many top action cameras.
❍ I'm really very glad that SJ has bright colors like yellow (the first camera) or blue (the second). They cheer me up! =)
❍ By video quality:
I do not have monitors with a super resolution, so 4K I simply have nowhere to look. And those who have them, I know, cannot see the difference. Full HD is enough for the eyes in 99% of cases.
▸ The white balance of SJ is pretty cold by default, and you most often notice this when you look at comparison clips with other cameras on YouTube. I also initially thought it was a cant, but my friends suggested that the balance is easily corrected in any video editor, as for a photo. So having hands from the right place, you get a very decent picture! =)
▸ In general, YouTube equalizes one size fits all, shamelessly pinching and dazzling similar parts of the video. So for videos in the internet, even the capabilities of the SJ4000 are a bit too much.

✯ Recommendations: if you take SJCAM, immediately turn off the time stamp in the settings, otherwise no one will usually set Time, and there will be an ugly and wrong date below.

Advantages: Great camera. Decent grade. Screen.
Disadvantages: 60 frames per second at 1280x720 - fake (interpolation) Weak battery with active use holds 40 minutes. While there is no very necessary remote control d.
Comment: He took exactly how the action camera shot both at the depth and on the balloons. It works perfectly at a depth of 42 meters, did not leak at the stated 30 meters. Super equipment Go about the pro did not stand along with the camera you get all the fixtures that may come in handy.Very comfortable rear screen When diving, due to the presence of the screen, it makes Goproch at times (an accurate shot into the frame, plotting a scene when photographing). The price of spare parts pleases (even with new prices, a spare box for the camera costs 500 rubles from the Chinese.) I recommend to buy immediately an extra charger and batteries. as well as an expensive selfie stick, on a cheap get the effect of jitter.

Advantages: 1. The quality of action scenes
2. Also use as DVR
Disadvantages: 1. Companion application
2. Small battery - about 2 hours of shooting
3. Problems with light transmission, clarity and sharpness under certain shooting conditions - all settings are made for high-quality shooting in bright sun.
Comment: The quality of the action video (fast-changing picture on the street) is excellent (on a par with go-about), but shooting indoors is mediocre, and you can’t take pictures of good landscapes. The main minus-raw application for Wi-Fi connection-constantly flies, the picture on the phone freezes, file transfer is often interrupted.
But the camera is still satisfied! Beware of fakes, the original is Wi-Fi version-sjcam (I bought on Avito thousands for 6!

Advantages: Excellent video quality, good photos, excellent clarity
Disadvantages: blue, "cold" color video. No autofocus.

Evaluation 4
Advantages: Price, feature set, decent picture
Disadvantages: Rawish software, but constantly updated. Buttons, you just need to be a little more careful with them.
Comment: Great camera for your money. During the day, it shoots perfectly well, in poor lighting there is not enough detail in the shadows, but with the function of the recorder it copes with dignity. If you play with the settings, you can achieve a good picture. And as a utilitarian camera is quite a suitable price.
