A few years ago, when I went out to play, I always wanted to be able to record it with **, so I bought DJI Pocket 2 ruthlessly, but later found that many times, some sports scenes really can't be used, and there are many times when the function is actually similar to that of a mobile phone, so I put it directly in the drawer and began to eat dust. Later, when I had a child, I thought about whether I could hang an action camera on the child's clothes to record the child's perspective like other bloggers. As a result, when I looked at DJI's action cameras, they were basically 2000 up, so I thought about finding a replacement, and finally chose the domestic SJCAM C200 Pro action camera, to share with you the experience of use, from my practical point of view, to explain whether this camera is worth buying!
Thumb-sized, lightweight and easy to carry
The scene where the action camera is suitable is nothing more than for users who like sports every day, whether it is running, cycling, mountaineering or diving, to record their lives, so it is easy to carry, small in size, and light in weight is still more important. When I got my hands on the SJCAM C200 Pro action camera, my first impression was that it was really small enough!It's about the size of a thumb, which means you can even put it in your pants pocket when you go out.
It is worth mentioning here that the SJCAM C200 Pro action camera has really many accessories!Whether it is a waterproof shell for diving, a halterneck rope sleeve for mountaineering, or a helmet holder for riding, or even equipped with a ** pole, in general, he is equipped with special spare parts for any use scenario we can relate.
The interface and buttons of the camera are also very simple and clear,At a glance,The camera module is above the back of the fuselage,The power buttons below,There is a circle of indicator lights on the periphery。 The upper front is equipped with a piece of 1The 3-inch high-definition touch color screen can select relevant functions through touch control, and the operation is simple and intuitive.
On the side, there are two control buttons for quick and easy operation. On the other side, the Type-C interface and TF card slot with waterproof protection design are used, but there is a problem here that when the shell is used, it cannot be opened.
Camera configuration and user experience].
The DJI Pocket 2 that I purchased before supports 4K 60 FPS when shooting, relatively speaking, the SJCAM C200 Pro action camera can shoot a little lower, but it also supports up to 4K 30FPS specification recording, in this way, it is completely sufficient for the user's ordinary daily recording, and at the same time, the application of six-axis gyroscope stabilization technology has laid a solid foundation for the ** anti-shake effect, allowing users to be more stable during shooting. Record every moment smoothly.
Of course, the most basic hardware of the camera must be good, and the SJCAM C200 Pro action camera uses a 20-megapixel Sony sensor, which allows the camera to capture more details while ensuring the amount of light entering and the brightness of the picture, so that the picture is richer and more distorted. Here we can take a look at the sample, even if it is taken at the sky, the dark details between the buildings can still be clearly seen. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the SJCAM C200 Pro action camera supports HDR** recording, and the high dynamic range allows the highlights to be overexposed, and the dark details are clearly visible.
The SJCAM C200 Pro action camera also has a good effect of shooting exterior wide-angle, but at this time, it presents a fisheye effect, with a certain amount of distortion, and we can choose to correct the deformity with the blessing of the intelligent algorithm, and the shooting is a normal field of view. We can also see from the comparison chart that the effect is quite good.
It's worth mentioning that the SJCAM C200 Pro action camera is equipped with AI facial recognition, which automatically takes a picture if a face appears within the camera's range during standby mode. Another interesting point is that it has a loop recording mode, so that we can even put it directly on the car and use it as a dash cam.
Running case).
walking case).
Of course,Many people may still be more concerned about the performance when recording**,This is the same as me,My initial idea was to put it on the child,And the same as what I am demonstrating now,Use it directly at the collar,In this way, whether it's walking、Running、Cycling,It's the first point of view。 From the actual **, we can also see that the amplitude is larger when running, so the anti-shake is not so obvious, but walking and cycling, on the whole, are relatively stable.
In addition, equipped with a remote control plus ** rod mode, this can be said to be very practical, for mountaineering or personal shooting vlogs, we can directly operate on the remote control to take pictures, videos, etc.
Summary] SJCAM C200 Pro action camera trial for a week, the overall feeling is pretty good, but it is more troublesome to replace some use scene modules, in addition, in terms of battery life, because the product itself is small, so the battery capacity is only 1200 mAh, in this way, the normal use time does not exceed 2 hours, which is a shortcoming, but the flaws are not concealed, SJCAM C200 Pro action camera whether it is taking pictures, or** In terms of recording, plus remote control operation, etc., I personally feel that if you start with a thousand yuan, it is still relatively worthwhile.
