Welcome to the review of SJCAM SJ8 Pro, kindly provided by Gearbest.com for a review. Videos are based on firmware 1.20. All is shot in flat color mode
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro is on theory among the most serious Gopro Hero 6 challengers after the Yi 4K Plus and perhaps the Sony FDR X3000.
Usually the first and the last impressions are the most important. Therefore – straight to the unboxing: There are three different models released altogether – the AIR, the plus and the PRO. And we are reviewing the highest possible configuration here, which costs 289 USD. Quite steep for a budget-friendly brand.
The build quality of the camera is good. There is an excellent secondary display on the front – and it delivers a lot of information, despite its small size. And remains well visible, no matter how intensive the light around is.
Thanks to all the power problems I’ve experienced, you have a confirmation that the SJ7 battery is in fact compatible with the SJCAM SJ8 Pro, although it is not that wide. You can notice that the new model is overall wider than last year’s SJCAM device, it is a bit heavier, although the body is all plastic.
Of course the screen is touch, and the digitizer is significantly better tha what we got in 2017. The camera is powered by the new Ambarella H22 chipset, and the SONY IMX377 sensor, the same as in yi 4k+. A lot of upgrades so far.
Resolution support goes as high as 120FPS on full HD, which is SJ7 star’s best achievement for that resolution. Unfortunately nothing higher than 60fps on 2.7K.
And if you enjoyed seeing and hearing everything so far, it is time for reality check. This is the first time in my Youtube life where I was struggling to get enough footage for the review. Could be that my unit is defect, or it is a symptom for a specific batch – but my camera was freezing quite often, and sometimes powering it on was not an easy task. There currently are two firmware updates available and none of them helped.
The power issue symptom is easy to reproduce. Power the cam on. Power it off. Power it back on. Power it again off. And that’s it. It won’t power on until you remove the battery for at least 10 seconds.
Picture quality is not good. Especially on sunny days the camera finds it challenging to reproduce sunlight next to shadows. You can notice weird purplish artifacts when direct sunlight goes into the lens. Also I have usually one out of three attempts to record in 120fps full HD resulting into camera freeze. And again – only battery removal fixes the problem. And then you realize – oh, now the date and time are reset. Which indicates a capacitor problem.
On the good side we can certainly count the stabilization – it is very close to the achievement that Gopro Hero 6 offers and this is quite a surprise! Perhaps the SJCAM team can fine-tune it a bit more – so that even the edges of the screen are well stabilized.
You may find the bitrate surprisingly low: only 40Mbps in 4K, and around 16Mbps for 2.7K
