use almost 3 years as a dash cam (motorbike), now can't deal with strong rain, water will get into the cam and make the lens blur(water vapor), LCD screen got 1 vertical line, but still ok by now
The image was so shaky, it makes me wonder if the stabilization feature is faulty. There is some audio processing going on. The louder you talk, the louder the noise floor. Thank you for the review.
@@ThriftyAV This SJCAM Action Cams channel is fake ! I have the latest firmware on my camera and I just got a reply from SJCAM saying they are working on a fix for the EIS. Send SJCAM an email via their website and someone from marketing will contact you.
Amongst my new Victure AC920, and my lovely Campark X20 action cameras, I still use my trusty SJ Cam SJ4000, (1.5 inch rear screen), an action camera which, like everyone else did, is modified for an external 3.5mm plug-in microphone! (The SJ4000 is stabilised in the video editor), I prefer all my cameras to be supplied with a separate plastic waterproof case to give me the best video and audio options, especially when motorcycling! Take care, all!... 😀...😀...!
Video looks good. EIS is terrible on this. What an amazing difference between the internal and external microphone! Personally, I would pass on this one.
Is the m20 still a good camera? I want to wear a camera on my head for my graffiti videos. Can you recommend a cheap camera with stabilization and good image? As Sjcam M20?
Thanks for the info about how you can raise the mic volume between 1 and 8. I didn’t notice that tidbit in other reviews. Do the Akaso Brave and the Osmo Action cameras also have that same capability of changing the mic volume on the cam itself?
I just checked via their website and mobile app and no firmware updates, so my opinion of this camera stays the same. It's a shame as SJCAM used to provide updates for their cameras all the time.
@WORTH IT OR NOT? Thanks for this review. It was very helpful. I FINALLY remember who your voice reminds me of, *Don Collier* he played on many western movies, but in quite a few episodes as *Mr Tompkins* the store owner on the series *The Young Riders*
I'd be really interested in seeing you do some reviews of some mirrorless DSLRs for video. One of my cams is a Sony A6000 and while it has its limitations I've been very satisfied with the results I've gotten from it. Just thought that since it's a few years old maybe tech has advanced where it might be time to get another mirrorless cam.
@@WORTHITORNOT i am looking for an alternate 2 or 4 cam small camera that has replaceble battery so i can record videos for 2-4 hours - any recommendation. I am using SJCam M20 but it has degraded and i cant get behind the glass to clean dust thats hindering the resolution
I used m20 before. It works great, now after so long of unused. Couples of my battery just broken. Im looking for cheap replacement action cam right now. Is this cam worth to buy?
@@WORTHITORNOT ok i just cant wait man i love akaso never had a problem with my brave 7 le but its missing 24fps or 60fps in 4k i just hope they install them options on the settings on the brave 8
Again..after SJCAM took down three support tickets without answering I switched to GoPro and have never looked back. I would not even entertain the thought of an SJCAM after what I've been through. The stabilization on this camera is underwhelming as well.

Great info and reviews for this sjcam c200, thank you for sharing this video my friend, done wacthing here from Phillipines pasig city, good luck bro!
I bought my M20 like 5 years ago, and I'm glad that I didn't throw it away... 😮💨

I even tried with the EIS off (just in case they had it set backwards in the menu) and there was no difference at all.
@@sjcamactioncams4212 Why your channel not the official SJCAM RUclips channel?? Humm, Sent your channel link to my SJCAM rep
@@sjcamactioncams4212 SJCAM is one of the brands that I really want to try out. I'm glad a firmware update has improved the performance of this model.

Case will muffle voice also, so it is a loose, loose, that is why many action cams have external mic.
Great comparison review the M20 still holds its place as a better option.

ah yes the SJ4000… one of the first rivals to GoPro way back when in 2014 :-)
That form factor is nice! And you know the M20 was my favorite! Audio's not good though, much better with the lapel mic! I like M20 better.
I agree 100%. The build quality on this camera is great, too bad the EIS is terrible along with audio.
Thanks for the video
You’re welcome
Video looks good. EIS is terrible on this. What an amazing difference between the internal and external microphone! Personally, I would pass on this one.
Yes this is a camera that's a hard pass unless they fix the EIS and audio with a firmware update
@@sjcamactioncams4212 but your 4k footage is very poor with or without EIS its just not great - a new release but not an upgrade

I would highly recommend this one : amzn.to/3BMWZsQ

we need better EIS , to catch gopro hypersmooth

Not that I can remember, but I'll have to take a look at all of them and report back.
Is there an update that makes this a worthwhile option as a replacement for my M20 ?
I just checked via their website and mobile app and no firmware updates, so my opinion of this camera stays the same. It's a shame as SJCAM used to provide updates for their cameras all the time.
It's good for you?
Not really, SJCAM needs to fix the stabilization on this camera

Will it work on SJ CAM C200

Hey,Can we connect it to a Bluetooth earphone for recording our voice?
Unfortunately no
Thanks for replying.Does this feature comes with go pro or some high end action cams?
does it have really a super night vision just like they says in their official website?
I did not see any super night vision as claimed.
I'll still go for the first insta360 go
I agree !
It's not comparable since the insta360 is not an action cam and can only record in short increments
Insta 360 is trple times more costy
@@daviddang82 read my comment again. "Insta360 go"
@@h2ojason430 ..and six times much better
Too shaky. But if you're on a budget, it ain't a bad deal
im glad im not the only one dissapointed bout the sjcam c200 / i have 2 M20s and they are getting abused and starting to show its age
Yeah I was disappointed for sure

@@lensak.a.z987 If you watched this video, then you can see that the image stabilization is junk
@@lensak.a.z987 I am in same situation there is not really any option that i know of for the size im looking for with replaceble battery
Andre the EIS was not good at all. Audio and EIS on M20 was better. All in all, would sadly not buy either camera. 👍
I agree 100% Glen, I would also not buy this camera.
Will the akaso brave 8 have 4k 24fps
I’ll talk more about it when I’m allowed to.
@@WORTHITORNOT ok i just cant wait man i love akaso never had a problem with my brave 7 le but its missing 24fps or 60fps in 4k i just hope they install them options on the settings on the brave 8
Was the microphone on that camera made by VeGue? Good God, that was gorrible.
LMAO
Wow, the old one has better stabilization! Not a great release overall.
I was very shocked, the image is nice but that's where it ends
@@PostColorGear Yup, just give us good audio and stabilization and we’ll just use a waterproof case if we decide to go swimming.
@@PostColorGear Agreed, Dave. Andre is a great reviewer. Nothing but the truth. 👍
Sound is bad a lot of vibration stabilisation is poor. Picture looks nice good colour.
I agree

SJCAM has really changed a lot over the past 2 years. The Hero 7 and 8 are solid cameras for me along with the Osmo Action
M20 is better on its stabilization
First 👍
Yes you were 1st again !
@@WORTHITORNOT 😁
I have had a few SJ Cams and have found them good value and reliable. But dam, the quality of this is absolute dog sh*t
Yes this one was a disappointment
It's almost as if the industry forgot how to action cam...
Ain't that the truth !
The quality look like that of the SJ4000 That's not good.
sjcam had a decent camera in the sj8pro but this camera is hot garbage. I bet they'll be gone this time next year
They sure are not the same company from just 2 years ago and their website is a ghost town
Probably the worst sjcam ever unbelievable
I don't think I have ever seen a camera so SHAKY. Pass....
