Final Word
|
Replaces the popular A800. Best 4K video quality during the day at this price. Rear camera is OK. Good value for your money.
Video quality is good but not the best in the market, particularly at night. Uses a battery rather than a capacitor making it less suitable for hot environments. Best brand name camera but better there are better cameras for cheaper.
Slight improvement in front video quality over the A129 Duo (2K video instead of 1080p) for $10 more. A very good buy for a solid camera.
