Looks like a bargain. These any good

ever so tempted to buy one for fishing ... chuck it in the water.

I bought one when they were about £40 and was happy with it. The only thing I don't like is that the audio is very very quiet. Here's some test footage from mine when I first got it.

That footage is decent. The hissing noise, is that all the time on any video you have taken?

That's a bargain. I paid more than double that for mine and am happy with it.

Here's some footage from mine (quality is lost by uploading to YT):

That's because I quickly boosted the sound levels in iMovie and it just messed up the sound. It is very quiet, especially with the case on. The sound on @172_Tom's sounds great though so maybe my camera is a little bit broken?

These arent proper SJ cams. these are the fakes of fakes. FYI.

How can you tell? @AdDaMan i don't know anything about cameras..

 

[V6Dan]

Possibly the difference in sound between @Ben- and @172_Tom one fake and one genuine?

Easiest way to tell is the writing on the front.
Real one: http://www.sjcam.com/cameras/9-sj4000-full-hd-1080p-waterproof-action-camera-sport-dvr.html

However, for that price they'll be a bargain anyway but they're not genuine ones.

Yeah good point Dan, I don't think mine was sold as a SJ4000 whereas this eBay listing is. Might be worth a go at £19 for some people though.

 

[imprezaworks]

May get one of these. Cheap enough to just mess about with

 

[172_Tom]

Bought mine from DX.com and from what I can tell it's a genuine one. Mine wasn't in the waterproof case so that will also affect the sound quality.

Looks like the cheap eBay one probably isn't genuine as all the newer genuine SJ4000s have the SJCAM logo on the front (the early ones didn't). Still probably worth a punt at that price though!
