My latest camera test and I think a winner from Xiaomi. The Xiaomi Mijia Mini 4K Touch screen, native 4K, EIS stabilised and good quality video for under a £100. (£80 on the Banggood link and a 20% coupon code as well.) It's the baby sister of the Xiaomi yi2 4K which is a benchmark for budget 4K touchscreen cameras. (It's actually slightly bigger, so not sure why they call it 'mini'?) But it's half the price of that, or the SJCam SJ7 Star which is I think it's nearest rival. Doesn't come with accessories but I bought a waterproof case for less than £10 from Banggood and you'd need a couple of stand offs and slide in mounts. (Cheap on Amazon. GoPro ones should fit too.) Easy operation with touch screen though a small downside was instructions and user interface were in Chinese when I got it. A firmware update fixes that. (And hopefully it will be shipped in English soon anyway.) I've detailed how to do the update in comments. Follow carefully or you could brick the camera of course as with any FW update.
This camera lens has a 145 deg AOV, less than 170 AOV of most action cameras. A lot of people will like that and complain about the distorted fisheye effect of the usual wide angle. Video quality, sharpness, and colours were really good and they claim a battery life of 3 hours at 1080 60 fps. (have't tested that yet.) Test clips on my video , including a motorbiking clip. Definitely worth considering if you are in the market for a camera.
