£47 .... the genuine article, just £7 more than the g1wh it is replacing that finally bit the dust and smoked out
annoyingly taking its 32g with it at over 8500 hours service ... Its a definite upgrade -- the 170 degree lens,
smaller and less visible with a further benefit of being able to remove it and have some battery life to play with
not to mention how useful it be on holidays etc.. etc...
( for those worried about theft, cut a hole for the lens in a used air freshener and mount it on the camera to
completely disguise it !!! )
Taking some time to arrive at "satisfied" having first tried a sj4000 clone and been appalled at its inability to
give a good quality image, especially when dealing with red colours .... The waterproof case and buttons feel
cheap and nasty as does the camera etc...etc...
Even tried the yi, and found I am not a fan of the soft focus and patience needed to operate it ...
I ve come to the conclusion, the sj 4000 is as cheep as chips with all its extras and functionality and I have no
hesitation in saying no one should be without one !!!
I m impressed !
