Good point. Since GearBest doesn't (and I assume never will) carry GP, but does carry SJCam, where's the surprise.
I'm sure that there were hopes of adding one or the other or both. "Life is what happens when you're busy making plans". The real failure here is operating mouth before engaging brain. Better to surprise customers with voice and/or GPS, instead of proclaiming they're coming and then having to walk it back.
I've said it before... SJCam doesn't seem to have many clues about how to function in this space. They have tons of products (most of which, I suspect, are now hard to find) which overlap, damaging sales (it's call fratricide). The banner product that was, the SJ7, is now ignored. The SJ8 shows up in places that make no sense. At least one review shows it's not much better than the SJ7, except for frame rates, and probably tuned up firmware. Whether it's cooler than the SJ7 is anyone's guess. If there's a review that says something about it one way or another, I've missed it. But then I've missed dinner, too. LOL
Finally, AFAIK, nobody has used the 4K transcoding trick to show 1080 accurately. All of the videos with 1080 show YT compression artifacts. It's interesting to see that the H6B does better than the SJ8, even though they operate with the same handicap.

Yep, Waterfowl Festival, where 90 bazillion kids run around, tooting their duck and goose calls. Oh my. So much fun. But the carvings that look so life-like. WOW!!
