It is super important to buy the ORIGINAL one, not the many cheap copies. I had this camera for 8 years. Died few weeks ago... just stopped. I believe a faulty charger had played a big role as well... But hey, footage I have had recorded is always mistaken with GoPro. I would say even better!!! Highly recommended if you don't wanna spend much.
Oww this video was posted 5 years ago😲 and when i put this video on 1080 resolution the quality is so nice, can i ask what camera did you used to film this? Especially the intro? 😊
Great review. I am considering buying an economical, but decent-quality action camera and would like to know if the SJ5000 has any major advantages over the SJ4000. Also, given it's been a while since your review, would you still recommend this one or a different one?
I suppose this is an original SJ4000 camera right? QUESTION: what is that female plug near the USB plug (female) and the micro SD card slot? is it an HDMI output? coz im right now on the site of the SJcam, and they claim that the SJ4000 does not have a hdmi output. I hope this is a mistake however.
When snorkelling I initially mounted the camera on the middle of my mask, just over my forehead. This was unsatisfactory because sometimes it popped above the water. It also automatically timed out and switched off without my knowing. My solution was to put it on my selfie stick, and then also I could get really up close to fish and into their coral crevices without spooking them by my body size.
I think from your end footage (track 5:58), I could say it's already a Vlogging-capable device compared to the other Cheapo Action-Cams also from China like the Siaomi Yi, or Eken H9. And by the way, there are some Counterfeit copy of this little gorgeous thing and they sell it a lot cheaper that the Original one, make sure you buy the Authentic one guys, the one that has a Barcode-Authentication Sticker on the side of the Box. Original one costs around $60 to $100 USD so if you see and purchased like a $14 to $20 SJCAM, that's a FAKE one for sure.
Nice vid dude I also bought the pentax 50mm f1.4 and that lens is amazing👌🏼 but for the action cam that quality looks pretty legit specially for that price! I own a gopro but if I didn't this would be a great budget choice!
hi, what video editor do you use for your sjcam4000??i use windows movie maker and when uploaded to youtube the video shows artifacts ,i think its movie maker doing it .
Muhammed. Usman I ordered this and got it a couple days ago, the quality is good but with the waterproof case, sound is crap. So without case, its good for vlogs.
I've had the same model for years and I hate it, the required force to press the button increases over time, and the waterproof case has a hard, dome-shaped button makes it really hard to hold properly while mashing down on the button. I wish someone would make a regular DSLR-style grip for action cams instead of this dinky little form factor. The only advantage it has over a phone is, you won't be sticking the phone in the water.
This version of Action Cam doesn't support an external mic, but their latest model which is the SJ6 Legend has an external mic input, although that one is a little more expensive than this one.
This thing crap.. Very hard to get in and out of the case for starters... Nothing gets any better... For 2 hrs I have tried to just get it out of the case and understand what these settings are about.. Don't waste any money here UNLESS you have plenty of time to waste ... I may ~never use this clunk, clunky device once.
One of the best reviews talking actually about the cam WITH EXPERIENCE AND GIVING TIPS HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. Job well done. LIKE
Thank you!

I don’t need expensive cameras definitely this one works just fine for me

Cause maybe now the price of that camera can be afford by the low income salary in the 3rd world country. 😊🇵🇭
Excellent footage. Exactly the kind of review I was looking for.
I love this cam. We have loads of video recordings in our cannel, even underwater, on ride, etc.

Nice video :) i like when the guy trips and falls in the water hahah... You're videos are so good! And you're cute.
Got this for like $5 at a thrift store basically brand new in packaging, excited to use it!
One of the best reviews I ever watched💪.

Jett Clements is there a way to plug an external mix into these?
Me too

Chris Hudson same
Chris Hudson me too
honestly sj4000 seems to beat a lot of action cams at that price range; such as ELKEN h6. What do you think?
I suppose this is an original SJ4000 camera right? QUESTION: what is that female plug near the USB plug (female) and the micro SD card slot? is it an HDMI output? coz im right now on the site of the SJcam, and they claim that the SJ4000 does not have a hdmi output. I hope this is a mistake however.

Great videos! Awesome reviews. Thanks to your videos I got the neewer 35mm for my a6000. And I love it. And now I'm going try this action cam.👌🏼👍🏼
Very cool! Nice to see a fellow A6000 owner. Enjoy it!
If your content is interesting no one is going to ever notice the quality difference.
Thank you bro. Amazing video
Just like the quality of the video produced by the SJ4000, this review is very clear :-)

The Amazon link didn't work for me. Can you take pictures or just videos?

what's that trick @2:11 🤔

I just got sjcam 4000 wifi. Its fun.
Does support 64gb micro sd ?
The maximum capacity is 32gb
Hi. does this have Time lapse feature?
emmary abua yes
The link doesn't working -.-
hey dude you've made a nice and informative Vdo. can you tell that does this camera support external mic to record Voice?
This version of Action Cam doesn't support an external mic, but their latest model which is the SJ6 Legend has an external mic input, although that one is a little more expensive than this one.
The SJ4000+ is waaaay better, I tested it.
My one has a mic
Is your wife married?........ Just kidding.
By the way Im not even sure which one of those girls is your wife.
thanks for the nice review!
You can't review very well.
This thing crap.. Very hard to get in and out of the case for starters... Nothing gets any better... For 2 hrs I have tried to just get it out of the case and understand what these settings are about..
Don't waste any money here UNLESS you have plenty of time to waste ... I may ~never use this clunk, clunky device once.
This camera sucks . Do not buy this junk. I’ve had constant problems since day 1 . Save up and get a go pro . SJCam sucks
