I've used several action cameras, and when it comes to night shots, the Action 5 is already way ahead of GoPro. I hope all the brands can come up with more innovations in the future and not just stop where they are now.

DJI can dive up to 20 meters?! That's crazy!

[jeffgriffith]

Hello and thank you for the review. Maybe at the end show your ranking chart and go over it quickly.

[sonupramanik-nfjs]

please stop pretending like most of these features are game-changers. what's next, a drone inside an action cam? yawn. most people just wanna film their pets and road trips—keep it simple guys!

[TaniyaSen-ynck]

GoPro Max must be for people who like nostalgia of 'barely there' days. 24 fps is seriously 2000s, like why are you still using it? y'all must love that vintage feel.

[TiyashaRoy-tgdw]

gotta love how they call these cameras indestructible when a toddler with a hammer could prove otherwise. they’re just marketing buzzwords.

[PujaRoy-mrlx]

man, if u think carrying around extra batteries for these things is fun, you’re probably the type that thinks the earth is flat.

[munmunkhatun]

seriously, if your choice is wolfang ga300, can we just talk about how you might need to upgrade your standards? it's 2025, not 2015! get with the times, people!

[PujaSen-fj]

All these cameras but no mention of the Kodak PIXPRO SP360? Probably the only action cam worth using and it’s not even here. shows what you know, Mr. Tier List Guy. get your facts straight!

[masumalaskar]

Anyone else notice how these budget cams get more expensive every year yet the quality hardly improves? Seems like a money grab to me, keep suckin' up that branding hype peeps.

[radicalgames]

Some good info but ur list needs some rework foreal 😬

[soumyamukherjee]

Y'all really spending hundreds on action cameras when you can just strap your smartphone to a helmet? Like come on, GoPro doesn't even have Wifi 7 yet, what a joke.

[MiraPal-pr]

grown adults obsessing over new toy cameras every year, when’s the last time you actually used one other than for unboxing or bragging about tech? y’all just collecting dust, am i right?

[ArpitaSaha-in]

lol who even buys action cams anymore when smartphones can do it all? y'all really wasting money for tiny gadgets that can't even fit in your pocket. smart to realtime filter your life with an iPhone, just saying.

[KeyaDatta-uq]

lol yi 4k+ owners, how’s that non-waterproof case life? these things are dinosaurs, better invest in a higher-tier product if you're serious about quality content.

[lipikamukherjee]

haha action cameras are just for people who want to pretend they're living some epic adventure. face it, most of you just go to the same park every weekend.

[SonaliRoy-bh]

lol anyone who thinks cameras this small can record 4k must still believe in the moon landing 😂 just use a DSLR if you want real quality.

[pramalasarkar]

people thinking dji osmo action 5 pro is a god-tier product need to get their heads checked. one-inch sensors have been out forever. what are we, stuck in 2023?

[DishaRoy-grre]

Honestly, if your camera isn’t over $1000, you’re just wasting money. cheaper cams are for amateurs who think they’re gonna go pro.
