Why do these companies think that adding so much sharpening will make it look like 4k? These type of videos are why I love your channel, you tell it like it is.
Thanks ! Yes the FDR-X3000 is still such a good little camera, I wish Sony would bring out another action camera like it, as I like the Sony color profile
I bought my SJ8 PRO, and your reviews about it helped me decide. True 4K, amazing image quality, I don't regret it a day. I also have a DJI Action 4, and the SJ8 Pro is very close in terms of image quality. They don't make budget cameras like they used to.
They sure don't, which is a shame, but the top 3 camera companies are leaping so far ahead, the budget market keeps offering fake 4K and bad stabilization with really no interest in improving their offerings.
Andre, I am with you. Action cam companies should be truthful so consumers can decide what exactly they want and what they want to pay for. This cam could fit some users needs.
I recently tried out a used Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 and was surprised at how well the footage held up and even more surprised at how many resolution and frame rate options are available depending on the settings. I don't know if any budget or even expensive action cams have as many resolution and frame rate combinations, I'd hope they do. But I'm confident despite how old this action cam is and the fact it's discontinued, the footage isn't outdated which is a shame considering the camera is 8 years old.
Glad to see that fig tree hasn’t given up! But I think I’ll pass on this one. I’ll stick with th GoPro 10 not great but I’m sticking with the Iphone 15 Pro. The more I use it the less I use the GoPro. 10. But I keep the GO2 handy. It’s fun. Thx for being honest on this one 👍
I got to say the Akaso brave 7le does indeed shoot native 4k and I looks relatively well but what I just found out was that it now supports the Akaso usb type c external microphone
As seen and mentioned 4K is not good, also EIS was not that great either. However i am still impressed with the DBPOWER D5. I remember watching your review back then and tried to find one online. No such luck and was never able to buy one sadly. Strange how they discontinued a budget camera that was so good. All in all a great review and comparison Andre 👍.
Very little point in budget action cams anymore when a phone camera will out do them. I will never understand how that Sony X3000 has such amazing sound quality that, even now my Insta One RS cannot match it.
Thanks, regarding the Action 5 Pro, I don't have any inside information on it, hoping it will add some new cool features as after watching the Hero 13 videos today, it was a BIG let down, same sensor, same chip, basically a new firmware update again and in a new housing. Not going to get the Hero 13 unless GoPro sends me one, which everyone knows they won't.
Great topic, and I totally get what you’re saying about a cheap camera as a C-D camera, but you’re still getting fake 4K. IMO get the Action 4 and be done.
These cameras are selling for $140 that is insane. Within the last month DJI and Insta360 had cameras on sale near $200 that are way better. Not sure why people would buy these when several times a year they offer last year models from the flagship brands cheap enough to cost near as much as these poor quality budget brands.
It's a shame... the audio from the SVBONY is actually quite decent when there's no wind blowing. The video is definitely an upscaled 1080p with sharpening, and looks horrible; especially for 160 bucks 🤯
Does this Jabroni outperform a used Samsung A53 cellphone that you can pick up for about $100 on Ebay? How about a GoPro 8? Absolutely not. Other than audio, it's basically no different than the old SJ cam sitting on my shelf. The X3000 is still legend and used by some of the top channels on UA-cam. This is no X3000, by a long shot. Do you have an AS200 or 300 laying around? I'd love to see a side by side with that. I still have mine and I know that it blows away this turd. I have my budget cams laying around but I'm over buying these things. There's just no reason for them to exist, other than fleecing people's hard earned (unless they're from California or Austin 🙂) money. Why pay $100-150 for crap when you can buy something decent for about $100 more? I classify the Jabroni as another cam that I would be pissed off if I won it in a claw machine.
It looks bad, I don't know why people just don't save up some money and get the best out there instead of these cheap no name brands that will be gone in 6 months

Thank you ! You'd be surprised at how many no name companies do it.
Love the no nonsense approach. Honesty is what is lacking in many reviews of products. I like that little Sony video quality.

The DBPOWER D5 was the best camera deal I ever got! I thank you for you notification. I bought two and still have one sealed. Wish I had bought more.
Me too !

I can see this being an inexpensive choice for 1st time users, just the fake 4K and not disclosing it bothered me. Thanks for watching Tom !

Geez that camera looks terrible, I wouldn't spend $50 on it. Thanks for your brutal honesty, I for one appreciate it.

I had that camera (very good) and two of those Microphones (very bad)
This year my fig tree went on strike😮 love this video, somebody has too said it! Thank you Andre, greetings from Connecticut
Even my GoPro hero 5 4k still better
Yeah my fig tree is still in it's regrowth stage and not many figs this year. Glad you enjoyed the video

@@Glenrsi Yeah that DBPOWER was great for what it was, even a metal build. Thanks for watching Glen.

Great video, buy once or cry twice. What’s your thoughts on the Action 5 Pro ?

I always like my sarcasm served fresh. 😅
My wife got it for me, wonder if she was trying to tell me something 😜

YES, in my opinion its better to save up your money and buy once and the DJI Action 4 is a solid camera for sure.
Great video Andre. I remember that DB power deal. How many of them do you have? Wanna sell a few of them ? 😊
Haha, I only have 2 left and I am definitely keeping one of them, drop me an e-mail.
I would say that the quality is the same of the Brave 7 LE.

I like your approach on this review. For my eyes, the SVBONY looks consistently washed out.
Thanks for watching !
I tried to go with something budget...I just could not find something good enough, I ended up getting a GoPro

LOL I have not heard Jabroni in a long time😆 I do not have the AS200 or 300 unfortunately.
I don’t even know why people waster their money on garbage like this when for a little bit more money you can get a name brand camera.

Should be called SVPhony. 🤣
