Underwater cam?

[cool_chique]

At first, point and shoot cam lang gusto ko pero since magssummer na parang mas okay kumuhang underwater cam. Anong brand and model ang maganda rin kuha sa moving objects na may wifi din?

[goddessjem]

hi..I have the first Olympus underwater camera..it's quite expensive the day we bought it, pero sulit..maganda siya..kahit hindi na namen siya nagagamit lately ok pa din..mag 7 yrs na siya..

[lady_avoidant]

[beach_n_sunsets]

Hi, sisses! Buhayin natin 'tong thread na 'to bilang malapit na mag-summer

Kakahanap ko ng cheaper alternatives to GoPro, I stumbled upon SJCAM SJ4000. Made in China, at obviously clone ng GoPro 

Gusto kasi namin ng underwater cam na hindi bulky, and gusto talaga ni BF ng action camera. Kaya lang kasi labas na sa budget namin ang GoPro. Yung underwater casing ko naman na DicaPac for my Ixus 240hs, bumigay na.

Anyway, ang gaganda ng reviews kasi ng SJ4000, kesyo comparable daw sa quality ng GoPro for 1/5 of the price. So we took our chances, bumili kami sa isang online seller ng Wi-Fi version. P4,600 lang yung brand new! 32gb SD card class 10 is 850 + YunTeng monopod 500. Wala pang 6k lahat sa pasok na pasok sa budget!

Anyway, last week lang na-test na namin siya. Gamit na gamit namin  Okay ang quality at ang sayang gamitin  Hindi ko naman ma-compare sa GoPro kasi hindi pa ko nakakagamit nun. Pero ang gusto ko sa SJ4000, may LCD screen yung camera for live view!

Sample pictures below:

Tulapos Marine Sanctuary, Siquijor

Ang daming forums and threads na sa net about SJ4000, and marami na ring peke! Imagine, may clone pa ang clone ng GoPro hahaha. Ganun siya ka-patok.

Hopefully magtagal sa amin 'to

^ang mura!!!! Saan mo nabili??

First time ko mate-test ang Pentax underwater cam ko when we go to Balicasag next month. 14K bili namin dun. sana maganda.. kaso depende din sa clarity ng water syempre. depende sa weather, minsan lumalabo ang water so waley talaga, epic fail. hehe

[shegothim]

meron sa ensogo 3100 lang, ang alam ko with wifi ang nasa ensogo. tapos meron din sa online 3500 iyong non-wifi. nasa 4thou to 5thou naman kung wifi.

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis beach_n_sunsets, saan mo nabili? Pa-share naman. Pati yung YunTeng monopod. Salamat! Ganda ng shots 

[beach_n_sunsets]

Hi girls!

Ang important daw eh Novatek 'yung chipset noong SJ4000, 'yun daw ang orig. Here's how to differentiate the original from the fake ones: link 1 & link 2

May comprehensive review si TechMoan sa Youtube, search ninyo na lang. 'Yun ang nagpakumbinse sa kin to buy this camera haha. Ang dami na ring sample underwater vids ng SJ4000 sa Youtube.

Anyway, nabili ko siya kay Bettina's Gadget. Meron silang FB, OLX and eBay accounts Trusted seller naman siya. Puro positive feedback sa OLX. Pati 'yung monopod and SD card sa kanya ko rin nabili.

Beware na lang of fakes, lalo na raw sa Lazada. 'Yung sa Ensogo not sure kung real or fake.

EDIT: I checked Ensogo's deal, sabi box only includes: Unit, Manual, Power Adapter. The one we bought at 4,600 may kasama ng mga mounts and accessories. Halos 15 pcs of accessories 'yung nasa box. So anyway, kung merong interested bumili sa inyo sa Ensogo, might as well clarify this. And balitaan din kami

^waaa! Ang ganda! Kainggit! Nakakamiss magtravel!!

Nagpabili na ko sa friend ko from SG, SJ6000. Excited na ko matry!

[ficklemind]

SJ4000 user  here! bought it last Nov for our Japan trip. time & budget constraints kaya napabili ako nito. Gopro sana talaga. i was convinced to buy this instead  by a single post sa instagram ng friend ko who recommended it. For 120 sgd (non wifi) eh what the heck bumili na ako.
i brought my slr with us sa Japan to assure na kahit palpak tong Sjcam we will still have good photos, also our phone cameras are ready. I was surprised sa quality ng photos & videos. Hinde namin nagamit SLR. i was happy with the camera. for the price, ok na ok na siya. Although superior pa rin qaulity ng go pro pero pwede na talaga tong Sjcam sj 4000.

eto din gamit namin sa Coron 3 weeks ago & super ok din pics & videos namin.
i posted the video on my fb and my friends thought i was using gopro.

Also, my 2 friends na go pro user are impressed also sa SJ4000. yung isa nga nanghihinayang sa gopro nya kasi madami daw talaga siya kakilala na sj4000 users who are happy naman with their action camera

But i'm still planning to buy a go pro 😃, iba pa din eh.

[beach_n_sunsets]

^True, if may pera ako bibili ako ng GoPro.

But the competition now among affordable actions cams is stiff, which is good for us customers kasi the price is becoming affordable habang ang quality is getting better.

There are new affordable ones now; price range is from 5k to 8k:

1. SJ5000 (better video and photo quality than sj4000)
2. SJ5000+ (supposedly the best na among sjcam models kaya lang there's a bug daw dun sa latest firmware)
3. Xiaomi Yi (superb photo quality but nakaka-turn off 'yung wala pa siyang kasamang accessories like underwater casing, you have to buy them individually pa).

So far, I'm happy pa with my SJ4000. Kasi ang mura mura lang talaga niya! At matibay, naka-ilang cliff dive na rin kami at hindi kumakalas.

[danda]

Ang nabili ko naman Posh W9. Okay na okay din. Nakakaadik gamitin. Kailangan lang ng extra battery para tuloy-tuloy.

What underwater camera is good even for dry land images ? Gagamitin lang naman pag nag i snorkel yung maganda sana kahit sa dry land para isang camera na lang dadalhin. I'm choosing between canon d20 and olympus?

[itsKat!]

Any reviews sa Supremo Cam from kimstore? Been thinking of buying one.

TIA

[artificialstar]

^ Maganda yung kuha ng video based sa uploaded videos ng users in Youtube.

Still contemplating if I should get SJ5000, Xiaomi Yi or Supremo1. 

[itsKat!]

Hi! I already bought the supremo1 from kimstore. Okay naman sya, no complaints about the photo and video. pag night time lang syempre madilim coz walang flash! pero sulit na siya for its price!

SJ4000 user  here!

But i'm still planning to buy a go pro 😃, iba pa din eh.

upgraded to gopro na, finally!  shopping for accessories, ang gastos!
yung SJCAM ko gumagana pa din after ilang heavy use, except sa power button na medyo kelangan ipush harder, ginagamit na dashcam ni hubby sa car.
