SJCAM Action Camera SJ8 Air

The action camera is great for the price! The video quality is great!! It gets warm when shooting 4K video, but I have not had it long enough to tell if this will give me issues. The touch screen if fairly response.

I was not disappointed when I bought this camera to replace an older dash cam. My only complaint is that since not all the settings work with all the video resolutions, it would have been helpful had the manual specified which combinations worked and which didn't.

Since there are 23 possible resolutions, arriving at the best settings for your needs (hence the 4 stars). But the stills/videos are excellent, and the distortion correction setting works extremely well. Excellent camera and excellent value when you add it to the box of accessories.

I have been considering an action camera for several years, but never willing to pay the price. If I was going to get one, I decided to do it this year for a ski trip out west. After researching, I decided to go with a middle-of-the-road price. This camera does VERY well on a middle road.

The video is excellent from my walk in the woods. I used the 1080p setting to use the stabilizer, which is necessary if you're moving. I purchased the extra batteries/battery charger – which I think is necessary.

It's hard to tell battery life since I'm still playing with it, but I'm guessing 30–40 minutes. I also purchased the external microphone. However, the built-in is very good. I mainly purchased the external to narrate while doing a planned helicopter tour. The accessories are also nicely priced.

Looking forward to getting to know it better!
