SJ4000 Camera

SJ4000 Camera

Hi everyone am looking to see if anyone has any opinions on this camera {SJ4000}. I have been thinking and looking at the Go pro camera but I really don't know even with its video's looking amazing if I could justify buying something in its price range [£250-£300}.
So after looking at another Go pro posting someone mentioned the SJ4000 ,after checking it out it looks not too bad for the money.
I just wondered if anyone had any experience of using this camera???? :crazy:

It's an AWESOME camera, equal to the GoPro and has an in-built screen. Just make sure you get the genuine one and not the copy - which you can brick if you update it with real SJ4000 firmware. Plenty of online info about how to figure out the real from the fake.

Hi after looking on youtube about this camera I totally agree its a fantastic camera for its price.
My next problem is as you say redrook its managing to get the genuine camera ebay has loads of them starting from £50-£70 and I know with past experience the most expensive one isn't always the genuine article.
So any info on finding the real thing would be great as they all say they are the genuine camera lol :crazy:

Plenty of info online - on spotting the differences:

Buying on line means they could be using real photos - so best to stick with reputable outlets and use a credit card.

i got mine from banggood and updated to the latest firmware no probs

they ship from their UK warehouse, also easy to return if there is a problem with it, also can pay with paypal for more protection
