Action camera review

dexterlivi

Hi.

I have received an offer from Woucher for a sports action camera but its a name I have not come across before:

toy meets world action sports camera 1080p.

I am on a tight budget so stretching to the go pro equivalent is pushing my luck with she he most be obeyed.

Has anyone come across this camera and if so have a bit of a review on its performance. Struggling to find any reviews which in itself may be saying something.

Thanks

I found this at £94

12MP, 1080P recording

The Go Pro equivalent is around £160

8MP, 1080P
I would say, you get what you pay for!

Thanks for the response. The one I have seen through woucher is being offered for 30 quid instead of a hundred:

This site has reviews complete with sample videos from most of the action cameras

the one your looking at is not unlike the SJ4000 ? ( about £50 on ebay ) but might be complete different

I'd be careful with that site. I believe it breaks UK law as it does not provide a registered company address. I suspect it also breaks trademark law by saying that the camera has a "GOPRO interface".

Also, in contravention of domain registry rules, the domain is registered to an individual, rather than a company, and his full name is not used.

At best, they'll probably drop-ship you a knock-off camera from China. If I had the inclination, I'd report them to Trading Standards and see what they say.

I would highly recommend the Mobius action camera. I use it as a car dashcam.

Bought this one from Amazon after doing quite a bit of reading, and not wanting to shell out for a Go Pro.

Which is the actual SJCam4000, a lot of the others are low quality clones. If you buy from above, buy from Mini Kitty. Quality is excellent and it comes with a load of brackets etc. Dig through the reviews on the site.

The WOWcher one is probably a clone.

Very impressed with it so far.

For an budget action cam I'd definitely recommend the SJCAM SJ4000. The quality is pretty decent for the price (it's not hard to find reviews about the model/brand recommending it). Gotta warn you though there's lots of fakes or wannabes using "SJ" as part of their naming convention on their generic cams in order trick us buyers.
