    Surprisingly, it is a good camera. Seeing the side-by-side footage with the GoPro 11, the bleeds and blending of the GoPro are lacking, but with the SJ11 is a little more clearer. There were some scenes that you can clearly see pixilation. Thanks for the review.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  9 місяців тому +1

      The pixelation is often caused by the compression that UA-cam applies.

    I've been contemplating an SJCAM as a "starter action cam," so I do greatly appreciate your video. The subject also got me to thinking. An SJCAM will likely never surpass the current model of GoPro. So I'm not sure putting them head to head is a fair matchup. But just imagine comparing it an older GoPro, or multiple old GoPros. How far back would you have to go for the SJ11 to outperform GoPro? Consider this, for the pricepoint of the SJ11, you could get into a used Hero 9 Black; a used 8 for much less.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  10 місяців тому +2

      Honestly ... Too many generations. Hero 6 is a lot better, maybe even Hero 5 - it doesn't have stabilization in 4K, but image quality is better IMO.

    • @rockel83
      @rockel83 8 місяців тому +3

      SJcam can't be considered as an budgetcam annymore. In the past they surely were great.
      A budgetcam will always have less quality or options. For that, the reason to choose for a budgetcam would be the price to be able to make good concessions. But with this price it's no concession anymore for the hardware you get.
      Like an Hero 9 will have a price difference of just something like $30 on offer now. And Blackfriday is close now. All accessories you buy now will be later interchangeable on the 10, 11, 12 and probably on the "13" too (probably the batteries, because of their newly Enduro's).
      And in image quality there're no extreme gaps between a Hero 9 or 11 or 12. A new er GoPro only has some newer features. Like stabilization 6.0 instead of 3.0 or so, and things like horizonlock etc.
      I've used my old $60 SJcam M10+ out of 2016 until last year on trips and vacations. Colors were a bit terrible. But after some tweaking in post edit, it was actually quite decent. And even holding up pretty good next to the Osmo Action 3. It's still blowing away modern action cams like Akaso, which cost 3 times more now, in clarity and sharpness. And I believe back then it was even holding up pretty well against the Hero4, which was much more expensive.
      This is what budgetcams should be.

The day before I found it, I saw that with the release of the Hero 12, prices on older models took a big drop. I told the pawn shop guy the current "going price," and got it for 175.

    Hi, I am looking for a camera to film my kayak trips. For that I need a long battery life (or cheap replacement batteries) and resistance to overheating in the sun. I am considering such an sjcam, but maybe an older gopro or dji would be better for the money? I heard some gopros had issues with overheating? I don't plan to run the camera at a constant 4k

      At this price point these camera's are not worthy anymore. Even for like $40 more you will buy a new Hero9 on offer. Which is pretty similar in quality compared to the 10, 11 and 12. And it still uses the same accessories and batteries. So a future update would be relatively "cheap".
      For less then $200 you surely would find a good Hero9/10 in good condition. Or even a Osmo Action 1 or 2.
      I feel that paying $189 for a cam like this is throwing away money. Especially when looking to the future if you would like to have new accessories like batteries.

    Again with the old stock Novatek SoC. The first SJ4000 used the NT96650 (released Feb 2012) with the IMX078 20 fps. The IMX117 sensor (released Nov 2012) was then a big upgraded to 35fps. Used with NT96655 and NT96660 (released Dec 2015) it is still a long time ago and I have to wonder why they are using this superseded technology. 🤔

    SJ 11 is the same price as Akaso Brave 7, for that price you can get a used GoPro Hero 8. It all depends on your taste.

      I'd choose the used Hero 8. Every single time

    Hey brother action camera is for doing action, but you did not show any action in this video, so my recommendations put some more bugs and buy some reputed action cameras. This nowadays budget action camera is just a gimmick, pathetic video quality, stabilization
