Today i have tested the new firm 1.2.2.
Before i have make a video and audio with the original native stock firm 1.1
I'm so deluded because i think the cam have degraded the performances, the audio is very low level, and the video have a red/Yellow dominant very big . I know that because i have see the real colors.
Maybe this one is for to add the new UNDERWATER function?
Make your opinion with my videotest.

We have yet to reviewed the SJCAM SJ5000x "Underwater" function

There are websites that are still giving out false information, claiming that this is a true 4k video camera. It is not.

Other cameras that are not true 4k video are...
Firefly 6s
SJ8000
Git2
Lightdow Real 4k

Gizchina article was written before the SJ5000x was released. I think if these cameras had real 4K, they would not longer be considered "Budget" cameras. Resellers like Gearbest will need to update their descriptions.

any updates on this? looking to buy this camera for auto racing, probably from gearbest - what stock is currently out? if I buy one from them today, what firmware will they be running?

 

[jokiin]

Gearbest list products for sale that aren't always in stock so hard to be sure what version you'd get

^ that was what I was looking at. Do you suggest ordering straight from sjcamhd? obviously the source but the prices aren't the best

Maybe buy from eBay where there are at least some rules in place
