What customers say about "Size & Weight"

AKASO V50 Elite 4K/60fps Touch Screen WiFi Action Camera

It is waterproof, compact, lightweight and can go wherever I do -up a rock face, down the piste, along the cycle track, or having pictures of my family day on the beach.
It is perfect size for traveling. Don't want to bring much stuff, the camera doesn't bother your space and it looks amazing, whatever quality of pictures and videos are good.
The camera is small and light weight with a rubberised casing. Looks good, recommended.
The camera itself is compact and operates in various video and still frame modes.
Overall so far what I have seen from this very small and compact camera is impressive

SJCAM SJ8 Pro Action Camera 4K/60FPS WiFi Sports Cam

The SJ8's small action cam size fits anywhere, nice pictures, robust design.
There are excellent point & shoot cameras that sell for less than this SJ8, but they are larger and more complicated.
I make do with what is readily available, and the SJ8 Pro is the only small action cam I know of great zoom.
Camera is very light and takes no battery as it's powered from the car's battery.
Compact, picture quality is great and unit seems well constructed.

What customers say about "Display"

AKASO V50 Elite 4K/60fps Touch Screen WiFi Action Camera

I'm not a fan of the buttons, so touch screen makes things simple. Well just swipe and tap, you will catch and shot what you want. I am very amazed how good it is. I recommend this camera.
The back of the camera is touch screen and although its no iPhone touch screen it works pretty well and is responsive.
Only just started using it, but the image quality looks good to me. Touch screen and remote work well.
Great touch screen that is very touch responsive and an easy to use menu.
The touch screen seems a little slow to react, that is only issue which i have with that camera.

SJCAM SJ8 Pro Action Camera 4K/60FPS WiFi Sports Cam

Settings can be readily fine tuned using the touch screen on the rear.
Small display on front it's useful when you check the camera's status when you use it.
Touch screen is well responsive, so much better than previous model SJ7 Star.
Most of all i like real 4k that looks awesome and screen is very clear and protects my eyes.
This is the last camera I have encountered, smooth touch screen. Love the display and its lightweight ofcourse.

What customers say about "Video"

AKASO V50 Elite 4K/60fps Touch Screen WiFi Action Camera

I recorded few sample videos in 4K 30 and 60 FPS, it looks crisp without fiddling with any camera settings.
Pictures look blurry, lack of sharpness is obvious, colors were so washed out and video was the same.
The audio and video quality is better than I expected, I have tried the GoPro Hero 7, and I can assure you the gap different in the pricing is not worth it unless you are a videographer.
Video quality is at least as good, although stabilization can only be activated at 4k@30fps, not 60fps, not 1080 60fps.
In terms of video quality, I have to say I was really disappointed, I have a cheap 4k phone which was a bit more than this, but the quality was far superior than the V50.

SJCAM SJ8 Pro Action Camera 4K/60FPS WiFi Sports Cam

Photo and Video quality seems good.(I'm not professional to photo/video).
Stable video, lots of useful helmet attachments provided , 2 hours battery life , responsive touch screen.
REAL 4K video. More features, like controlling ISO which is a big deal for me as it can be critical when recording at night and avoiding saturating with too much ISO.
I haven’t had the camera out on the trails yet, but test video around the house looks good.
The camera gave me a perfect video with great stabilization ability. The touchscreen makes it easier to operate.

SJCAM SJ8 Pro Action Camera 4K/60FPS WiFi Sports Cam

There are two sets of settings and it all works so perfectly, so the camera is proving to be well worth every penny.
The added ability to zoom in and out while wearing the cam nestled in a gimbal and mounted to my chest harness makes this camera well worth considering.
Bunch of accessory were packaged within box. It's very useful.
The bottom of the camera's screen is touch sensitive, so you can operate the microphone, WiFI, Footage Lock and enter the Settings from there.
Touchscreen is very responsive and microphone records clear audio with any type of video.
