SJCAM SJ20 - Do NOT Buy this Dual Lens Action Camera

I would steer clear of this action camera, and I would advise SJCam to keep working, as it's possible with a lot of hard work it might be up there with GoPro, Insta360 and DJI one day.

As the owner of SJCAM 8 Pro, I can say one thing - there is no point in buying, very weak functionality, sometimes menus hang, inconvenient navigation, etc. As an entry-level toy and a device that can be broken and it won't be a pity, then you can take it. But no more than that. It is better to save money or take an outdated cheaper model, such as GoPro or Osmo Action, than to contact SJCAM.

I have the SJCAM. I'm not sure if that was an earlier model, but my camera is more than serviceable, especially in low light. It can't compete with significantly more expensive cameras (I paid $160), but for the price, it's pretty good. I also got way better sound even before I got the additional mic.

The microphone on the SJ20 is… Nostalgic 😂

I really like it when you get out and put the gear through its paces

[TaskSwitcherify]

Thank you for your honest, unbiased and thorough review! Manufacturers should see more of these so they can improve their products.

[SherwinIRL]

Appreciate your raw honest review.
Shame the SJ20 quality isn't great. But on the other hand, Ace Pro looks and sounds very nice especially in low-light

[janikbxyz]

Thank you for the review!
I will not get the SJ20.

I‘ve got a SJ10 Pro. It’s okay and not too expensive if it breaks. Anyway the image quality on the 20 seems not to be better or even worse.

[Ohgodmail]

Is it possible that there will be a night shooting comparison between SJ20 and Osmo pocket 3?

[星辰-ns]

May i know the camera is INSTA360 ACE PRO 2 is the latest model?😊

[tomaskiii]

been searching this sj20 review, some said with batt attached on it last for 8hrs, this would be great trade off, then the hero 9 heat battery and laging and i just sold it!!!

[regen]

What if i can get a second hand one for exactly half the price? Is it ok?

[miketrou]

I would like to ask if the recording on your sj20 will also be blurry on the left and right sides?

18:11 😂😂 it’s been a few years since I've seen you so excited about a product, and it’s a dishwasher.

[joeqin-zo]

Obviously the Ace Pro looks better in daytime, but SJ20 is brighter and clearer at night

[MortonsReviews]

When you were in slightly better light, the instead 360 was way better. What's amazing is when it was darker conditions, SJ was better?

[EspenJohan]

Interesting test Phillip, guess SJCam doesn't sell this camera. I wouldn't pay a penny for it. The sound was horrible, the picture quality is bad. I don't find anything positive about it. Maybe they can fix it with a firmware update

[yehang]

so it doesn't seen good enough during the daytime but looks much better at night.. it's good to have choices at the least, affordable action cam can be an ideal option for many people

[alkaid]

the night vision is better than Ace indeed, only $200, I am fine with it given this price

[ZHAOLONGLI-wb]

SJ20 does seem better at night...it isn't a bad choice with a price 50% lower than the Ace Pro😂

I'm not a big fan of Ace Pro, but it's low light capability is dang awesome. It's close to optically stabilized sony. Stabilization works goodm no jello, Nicely done, Wish my Action 4 could do the same.
