    Your video helped me pick this camera once I'd figured out the cons didn't really affect my needs.
    What you do get is a very compact lightweight, easy to take anywhere camera. The footage is fairly decent, so long as there's plenty of light available. The sensor is tiny and that is the real problem with capturing enough information to make 4k look decent. 2k/60 looks pretty cool, although only a slight bit better looking than 1080p. Works for me.

  • @wenepzoli
    @wenepzoli Рік тому +2

    Thank you very much for the very correct video, in which this small camera is presented with complete honesty. Congratulations on making the video!" they could have added an input microphone input or a normal connection button! Of course, you can't expect top-quality parameters in this price category, but fake 4k really shouldn't be called *4k, because it's really not 4k, it's polarized 4k " "More pleasant days in strength, health, peace, of course to everyone! Good luck!

    I really didn’t think the video quality was that bad. I don’t shoot in low light or at night so no problem there. I don’t understand why people want to shoot in the DARK anyway. As far as the mic most videos I make have music over them anyway so no problem there. My only concern is transferring the video to my phone or iPad. Is it a problem ? Obviously the video was transferred out to make the this presentation but is it a hassle ?

    Thanks for the honest review! I really like the form factor, especially with the external battery and screen but the audio and fake 4k is a straight up deal breaker for me. Too bad, had they done it right, even if it cost $50 more, it would have made a great casual vlogging cam. And for God's sakes man, you're in Texas! Don't hit it with a hammer, put it on a clay pigeon thrower and blast it out of the sky with bird shot.

    For me the fact that you cant charge the batteries on an external charger is a killer because you can't keep filming with you are charging up your spare batteries.

  • @oh_rhythm
    @oh_rhythm Рік тому +1

    After checking UA-cam for the 5000x, by your recommendation, it does seem like it was a gopro\dji killer(at the price) and for them to regress might mean foul play by market forces... Hate being a conspiracist, but it is fishy.
    Thanks for the input though, will probably get the 5000x elite

  • @bernardhengst5525
    @bernardhengst5525 Рік тому +1

    When I saw the comparison with the 5000X ELITE, the 5000 appeared to me as more natural. The C300 looks over sharpened (I am watching this from my 4K computer screen)...sometimes I detected slight out of focus moments, especially the grass scenes (but this might be me only). And yes, the shots taken by lowlight and evening takes me back to filming with VHS in the old days. My personal recommendation: I would not buy it...come on SJCAM check your competitors. You can do much better...!
