I feel really bad that people buy these. it's not even that cheap....you can easily buy a better used camera that takes better video than thing for the same price.
@@yuriythebest exactly! I swear nobody does any research. They just buy what they see on Amazon that has "same specs" as a $1000+ camera but for only $150 lol
Well done on the comparison which hammers home a good point. Hopefully, this will reach some of those that would otherwise consider buying this over a second hand Sony, Canon, Lumix etc. I mean for 100$/£ more you could get your hands on a BMCC 2.5K with RAW Video and 12 stops of DR, Or a GH2 or 3 if you want something ready to go out of the box.
Honestly? You would be better off with an old lg G7 or V30, put it in a rig and a gimbal and you are golden to shoot 4k or 2k videos. not to mention those phones are ip68 rated and batteries are easy to replace and are not superglued to the phone.
Interesting video. I was curious about how that "8K" video camera performed at HD and 4K levels (which would've been an apples-to-apples comparison). I still expect the other cameras to do better but I was curious. Perhaps a short followup to this video? Thanks!
Great😎 i've been searching for exactly that Video for weeks. Thanks for Uploading dude. You safed me before that camera, I was really Interessen to buy but after your great Test, I will Not. Thanks for That🤩
If you feel like do more testing of low end stuff, I can recommend the Canon Vixia R70 and Sony CX405. These are roughly the last 1080P camcorders these companies made. The interesting thing is that the zoom on these are optical. 32x optical zoom on the Canon (2.8 - 89.6mm, claimed F1:1.8). The lenses were optically stabilized. Older versions of these same camcorders were Canon R40 and Sony CX-240. There were other models too, but these are the examples I know about. Panasonic had some too.
i'm kind of curious if it looked any better in 4k or 1080p. The frame rate, just didn't seem like it was actually doing 24 or 30fps.. Seemed kind of choppy in general
sony a73s hands down an awesome camera, we have a bunch of FX3's at work, and i kinda love them for how small they're(basically same camera, same 12mpx sensor, same internals just different body), the bonus with the a73s is that it has a viewfinder. I was kinda surprised of the quality of the nex 5r, that looked a lot better than i thought it would. like i think you where out of focus though so i would love to see how it looks in ideal conditions, but those colors looked great.
if you can get one for cheap, its perfect for IR photography or video, you just take it apart, then manually move the IR cut filter up, and bam, full spectrum! the IR mode makes it B/W, so thats why you need to move the filter manually.
lo I really love showing the comparisons between different cameras. Seriously, that makes all the difference. It's really sad how pathetic the camcorder is once you compare against other cameras.
I bought a Goggorly brand 8K Video Camera on Amazon for $159.00, so far, so good, hopefully it will last for me (age 73) it seems to work well and looks good, although with many things you buy online, it requires a “Test of Time” to hopefully be realized if it was a Good or Bad Buying decision.
This thing is not even worth 20 Bucks. There is no scenario where it would make sense to buy it, not even if you would like to achieve a certain look. It's a scam in every single way
id say its worth something to someone if they know not to expect much. cheap cameras like these are fun to throw around and experiment with, especially the easy access to IR.
Don't by any unknown brand 1080p/4k/8k any camera style, its like 720p video stretching to 4k 6k 8k, its like 20$ cheap action camera with case body of a camcorder.
In 2009 I had a Medion 720p camcorder, that had about the same image and audio quality. And also it was in about the same price range. Buying something like that in 2024 is just a scam. Why don't they buy current smartphone replacement cameras and put them into a housing like that?
I needed some 4k b cameras so I got 3 of the Amazon Camera, I’ll tell you what, they aren’t that bad, but I’m using a Sony v1 as the main camera and Davinci Resolve, so they are giving me peak opportunity to look good!
I want to know now what are the technicalities that make it a poor camera? So, it does shoot in 6k, so why isnt it good? Explain to someone like me who knows nothing about cameras. I would assume this 8k camcorder achieves more than 1080p, so why then does the footage look comparatively worse than your 1080p Sony in regards to the colour grading? In fairness, the 8k (6k) camera does look *sharper* than the 1080p Sony, but it looks worse overall. Is that similar to when you edit a photo and whack the sharpness up? Could you call a +100 sharpness setting photo 4k?
When it boots up and says Welcome’ like that, you know you’ve been scammed! It’s like all these cheap smartphones, smartwatches & tablets etc. all use the same OS
I would be curious to see what this looks like in semi-low light. I see it is an f3.2 on it, so it's not letting in much light. This seems to be the biggest problem with these cheap cameras, they need just GOBS of light before the sensors pick up anything.
I just feel bad that some young kid is going to spend their first wage packet from McDonald’s on something like this hoping to be the next MKBHD or iJustine. They’re better off spending the same amount on a 2nd hand iPhone XS or Samsung S10. More creators like you need to show them how cheaply it can be done

yeah - just get a used sony camera from 10 years ago and you'll get better value

One of my students in my photo class bought one of these, I just shook my head and said “please tell me you can return this” lol
@@ruffprophetproductions I think, if someone buys this for a photo class it's best to tell them kindly that maybe photography is not for them
@@ruffprophetproductions "but sir it shoots 8k! - That's like professional, right?" Hehe
The camcorder looks like you're in 2006 😂😂
Right 🤣
Actually a good use for these cams... shoot like its in the 2000s or 90s hahhaha
@@FoxTailWhipz left
1996. 😂😂😂
Plot twist: It's a time machine!
At 6:59 the focus is screaming on the 5R 🤣🤣, but even out of focus it still better than the 8k Cam 🤣
To be honest I think that camcorder is better for night time ghost busters videos 😂
Gotta love how smooth that 6k30 is over the 8k15, I can REALLY tell the difference.

i would buy for the night vision feature
Yes thats something i miss
I have a 2015 Sony AX33 thats 4k and has night vision and its a good camera
I have a Sony AX100 Prosumer 4K Video Camera. And it has awesome night vision. Very good for that.
2:32 anyone else spot it says WARM TIPS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

hey can u make a sony fs100 video in 2024 please
Yes bro
Yes
A Blair Witch Project camera! Price went up to 169$ thanks to your vid!

i'll take a 1080p with better quality.

Be interesting to find out what the actual resolution of the sensor is.
like a 360p
@@Tonellacam no, its about 8mp or so. they interpolate it probably.
Why not show what it looks like in 1080p? Nobody shoots 6k when it comes to vlogging or UA-cam.
agreed. Sadly he missed the opportunity
It’s a cheap camcorder there all trash I owned 4

The Brand name is 8K
Smart move

I wonder if it's true 8k. Some cams they make for kids are upscaled and advertise the upscaled res.
Love these videos😂!Thank You
When it boots up and says Welcome’ like that, you know you’ve been scammed! It’s like all these cheap smartphones, smartwatches & tablets etc. all use the same OS
I guess it could be used for artistic things that are retroish and smudgy... I don't think it has any room for anything else.
Nex5 out of focus?
It struggled a bit to keep focus on my face, definitely should've stuck it in manual focus.
@@FoxTailWhipz i see, definitely better buy used nex 5 than this garbage :).
@@FoxTailWhipz or native lens? :)

Its also the sensor size
wow thats such BS, Plus now old brands like Polaroid and such selling the names to products like this
It is not a camera, but a toy.
Shame on Amazon for letting sellers get away with complete false advertising. This is beyond trash.
The camera looks like a webcam 😨😱🤣
Watching from Nigeria ❤❤❤❤
8K must be the numbers of complaints and returns to Amazon.
8Kilos of artifacts?
Short answer… yes it does suck. Unless you are only going to use for ir night vision… but that’s it..
it does.
This is a cheap action camera housed in a camcorder body. The mic isn't that bad. The 8k looks horrible in almost every circumstance.
wow very nice camcorder
my internet doesnt even allow to watch 360p or higher
My well-considered comment: Caca doo doo
chicken burger next video bro while recording your self eating it
For $50 used this would be a deal.
My blu view 2 $15 phone takes better videos and photos
pretty much junk quility will never compare to a $3,000-camera
8 kilobytes Camcorder
8k? Or did it mean 8mp😂

This comes really close to a cash grab product.
even my camcorder from 2008 is 10x better 💀
I hope the reviews on Amazon tell it for what it is - terrible!
A6700 better
You don't know for what to spend money
good please can you get me one camera i don't have money to afford one, am a beginner
your phone
A thrift shop’s camcorder can record with better quality than this crap
TLDR...Its crap!
Absolute trash
😂😂😂😂😂 waste of money.... Please
