The action camera in the category is the SJCAM SJ6 Legend. At the moment, this is the most expensive model in this section – UAH 4199 ($ ​​150). This action vlogging camera is very similar to the younger version – SJ5000X Elite. But it was created for people who want a little more and at almost the same price. And, to be honest, no matter how much I love the SJ5000, the best solution would be to buy the SJCAM SJ6 Legend. Yes, in fact, it is on the same hardware, and you may not immediately understand why you should pay attention to it. But, in this model, we already get a touchscreen display, as in action camera of a higher echelon, support for remotes and microphones.

Main characteristics:

  • Sensor : Panasonic MN34120PA.
  • Video quality : 4K (2880 x 2160/24 frames), 2K (2560 x 1440/30 frames), FHD (1920 x 1080/60 frames).
  • Photo quality : 16 MP (4608 x 3456).
  • Aperture : f / 2.8.
  • Viewing angle : 166 ° (variable).
  • Display : 2 “LCD touchscreen + 1” front display.
  • Processor : Novatek 96660.
  • Battery : 1050 mAh (up to 130 minutes of video).
  • Support for memory cards : up to 128GB.
  • Connectors : micro-USB, micro-HDMI.

Unlike the 5000s, this action camera will already have support for external microphones and a remote control. What distinguishes it favorably against the background of the previous series. Naturally, it is possible to connect to a smartphone to watch videos and quickly post to social networks.

The video quality of the SJ6 Legend is identical in specifications to the 5000X. But in fact, for me personally, I like the picture more. There is also stabilization by a gyroscope. Also added the ability to take photos in RAW mode. User-friendly will be the presence of a front 1 “display, which displays, albeit brief, but the most basic important information: battery status, recording mode, current time and recording duration.

➕ Pros:

  • image stabilization
  • RAW photo
  • HDMI
  • support for external microphones and remotes.

❌ Cons:

  • 4K interpolated
  • average quality of shooting in low light
  • not the best sound quality on the built-in microphone.

Overall, this action camera is a 5000X Elite with Action camera body mount, but with the modifications that users needed. I really liked this digital camera, and considering that it turned out to be very successful, and knowing its price, it will be more relevant for its cost in comparison with the same 5000X. Therefore, in this category, I definitely recommend buying the SJCAM SJ6 Legend.more
