Description:
This camera is advertised to use GoPro3 accessories so the body size is same.
It uses NT96655 chip and 12M Sony CMOS sensor.
It has built in Wi-Fi that's great for setting the FOV angle as well as for live view monitoring.
You have to download Firefly app using the bar code in the product manual to use the Wi-Fi feature.
[Note: I downloaded Firefly app from google play store and it didn't work, couldn't connect to camera.
So download using the bar code in the product manual. It takes 1/2 hour to download due to slow host connection but works.]
There are few things that are interesting features in this camera.
Adopting back illuminated Sony CMOS sensor.
FOV can be changed to Large, Medium, Small via menu settings.
.65” OLED screen in the front.
Time-lapse video at .5 or 3 second intervals. (This can create time lapse videos so no need to join time laps pictures).
1600mAh battery.

Quick unboxing video:
*********************************
Package contents:
The product box is very small and camera is packed nicely in foam inserts.
It comes with minimal accessories.
Besides camera with lens cap, it only has product manual, mini USB and AV out cables.
However, since it's same size as GoPro 3, there are many accessories available to buy depending upon its use.
Buttons and features:
The small screen is very handy.
Camera has up/down buttons on the side that cycle through settings.
Pressing Up button for few seconds turns Wi-Fi.
*********************************
Front: .65" OLED screen, Power button and lens with lens cap.
Firefly 5S is front left. Others are SJ7000, Ausdom A261 and Git1.
Top: Ok/Shutter button with status LED.
Bottom: microSD slot.
Left from back: microUSB and micro HDMI ports.
Right from back: Up (wi-fi)/down buttons.
Back: Battery door.
Side-by-side with Git1 that is exactly same size except the lens housing that's little longer on Git1.
*********************************
I never had GoPro so this is my first action camera with screen on the front face.
The only trouble with having screen on the front is that I’m using it as a dashcam and it’s really difficult to operate/check the camera as it’s facing the other side.
Blue lights on power and shutter buttons flash when recording so that helps to at least know it’s doing something.
