Reviewing the SJCAM C300 - What's Wrong with This 4K Action Camera?

I experienced flickering video in 4k?

I'm in the market for a body cam and this might be perfect compare to the cams that are marketed strictly as a body cam like boblov, transcend, cammpro etc..thanks for the vid

So it is totally non-waterproof or its suitable for filming in some moderate precipitation like rain?

Am i able to take photo on it?

Hello, if we connect this camera to another internet network via wifi, we can see the camera image from a few kilometers away with a smartphone, or the camera must be near the smartphone.

SJ Cam C300 or Akaso Brave 7?

Thanks for the review! How long does the big battery on the c300 last whilst recording 1080? It says 6h on the website! Thanks 😊

Очень красивое видео снимает. Хочу его купить и использовать в автомобиле как видеорегистратор. Видео намного лучше, чем в топовых регистраторах, а стоит в 2-3 раза дешевле. Только не могу понять, к нему можно подключиться через прикуриватель?

not mentioned is that the c300 is a bit near sighted, being a talking head type of video focused.

Its not trying to compete with gopro. Their target customers are people who cant afford gopro.

Excellent review 😊

What do you want from 150$ camera it's cheap and affordable for those who haven't budget for Dji cameras and go pro

Hmm.. sounds promising for the price tag..for casual player.

This guy is cool

Doubt the soc is a NT96660 as this does not support x265, more likely a NT96680 variant which is newer

Bought the pocket cam version, in case it helps - my opinion as there are not many reviews in english. fyi it does not come with an sd card. My unit came with the latest firmware dated late march 2024.
By default the device configuration seems to be for a dashcam, not an action camera - hence IQ out of the box is terrible with overly aggressive sharpening using all ‘normal’ settings.
Hence to get the most for action video; set 1080p60 or 1440p30 for optimal IQ (1440p60 stutters), sharpness ’soft’, noise reduction ’low’, EV -1.0, WDR on, distortion correction off, codec h265, WB fixed as appropriate e.g. ‘daylight’, bit rate high, other settings ‘normal’.
Then sharpen and perform noise reduction via post processing in your preferred app. IQ is then quite acceptable for the price of $70.
=> Update - 2.7k appears to be the full sensor frame with 4:3 aspect ratio. Comparing 2k and 1080p samples - believe a 1080p 'window' of the full sensor frame is used. i.e. 2k video is simply 1080p upscaled (at least with image stabilisation). The 2k image however appears superior to 1080p due to a higher bit rate (~13mbps v ~9mbps h265 30fps).
Conclude an imx335 sensor
For sure I won't be buying another Sjcam (-j) product any time soon

dji pocket 2 cost 3 x more :)

honest review.. cool

Do you think it’s good for making videos running and gym?

Which external mic is suitable for this model ??

Which is the best revolution 🤔 cheers

I have to say it looks cheap and nasty you're better off saving up the extra £300 for insta 360.

Sjcam keep using the same crappy chip . And go pro and insta are crazy money .

Is it good enough for fishing

Du redest zu viel....stattdessen mehr Bilder und Videos zeigen

its a chinese company, jesus ppl, you really think theyll be honest about their products to the west? LFAO

gopro 7 or sjcam c300? pls suggest for me.. thank

Contrast not great but its ok

can someone guide me a body wearable camera like this one and insta 360 ....i just need a small camera which can be wearable on tshirt , cap without using straps belts .... insta 360 is out of budget thats why i am looking for mid range body wearable camera

Apparently it can film up to 6 hrs…. Is there any other cam that films as long?

good thing I watched this video before, I almost bought the camera 😂

지금은 80$ 정도라서 그다지 신경쓰지 않았는데 처음 출시할 땐 무척 비쌌다고 들었어요. 지금 가격이 합당한 가격이라고 생각합니다.

SJCAM keep sending you products because you keep reviewing them... They don't care that you criticise their ethics, they know enough people will look past that and buy the camera because it offers enough for the price.

See if you just were going to J it'll explain itself... SCAM 😂

how about audio can you connect an external mic?

hello. is this enough for filming concerts? thanks!

can do vertical mode?

Hello, I ordered this camera but I would like to buy an external microphone for it. Can I connect a microphone??? If so, which one??? Does it also support wireless microphones?? If so, which one is best to buy

Can it zoom

30 min of recording time? geez my Hofer drone last longer.

Hey, is the camera compatible with the c200 underwater case?

Omg too much talking

Good at its price

Do you mind if give away that camera to me 😅

too biased !!!

I bought their 4000 series and I must say for the price it was pretty good, so you get a little more for what you paid for, and if you can't afford or buy a new GoPro then this brand should fulfill your need. I mean they are cheap and I think they are good enough to film your vacation. I rather have this than buy a used GoPro.
