I'm using c200 now and will upload my new Travelogue using it in middle of this October.
1- Battery can use about 7hour standby for lite usage.
2- Using at outdoor activities it's quite hot body just can use around 100minutes
3- Using indoor it's seems like you need a good lighting at all.

I'm glad to see this review. I have an action camera that falls in the middle pricewise (a Crosstour CT9700, $90), and I'm quite happy with it for my purposes. It's nice to see a review of cameras that cost considerably less than a GoPro that could be quite useful for people on a budget.

Hi Mr. Alien Drones. I've come across your channel recently while looking for Drone Law guidance which has been very helpful.
When I seen this video I had to watch. It seems that the SJCAM C200 came out a little ahead in this one, especially the video quality and stability. I like the sound better on the Action Camera though. These little cameras are very useful and have lots of different modes in them. I have 3 of the smaller Action Cameras and I use them all of the time, not for full real time videos usually, but for time lapse videos. The wide angle makes for great scenery coverage. The battery life is not great > . > I usually get about 45 min to 1 hour on a full charge. I have learned a great trick to overcome that though. I use a battery power bank and hook it up to the micro sd port and it will run off the power bank first then the internal battery. I've done overnight time lapse videos on a 5000 mha power bank attached and it still had some life left in it at dawn.
Also the waterproof cases on these work. I haven't ever had an issue with water getting in. You do have to be mindful of condensation due to temperature difference inside and outside the case but otherwise those cases work great. I haven't figured out how to prolong battery life without compromising the waterproof integrity yet. ^.^ I know this comment was long, but I've captured some great stuff with these little cameras and wanted to share my experience with them. Have a Great Evening!

I'm assuming that the 4K sports cam shut off because of the battery. That's pitiful. The video was definitely of lower quality, but the sound almost seem better as it was muted and did not pick up as much background noise. But the other cam definitely seemed to have a more sensitive mic. Now for merely $30, that would be a great toy for a kid. Beyond that, the other cam was definitely worth 130 bucks.
I assume that the Wi-Fi on the 4K sports cam was just for downloading videos and pictures. Quite frankly, I would just remove the SD card and transfer files that way. It is always much faster than Wi-Fi in my experience.
Thanks for the review Keith!

Great review Keith. Keep bringing great content.

[carlosa]

Nice video test but shouldn't this video be uploaded in 4k 2160 resolution and not 1080?

[kimoutofnowhere]

Thanks for uploading this. QQ: Does the C200 have an upside down feature?

[tejaskanchan]

Mounting of this both camera are same? I want to buy accessories

[johncarold]

Hi Keith When I started flying, I was looking for a camera for my quads and I had purchased the 4k camera but it didn't last, not that it was bad, but I crashed a lot.

[edwardjs]

Great review. Sjcam would be my choice!

[WillHaben-kk]

You need to upgrade firmware on C200. It makes great stabilisation afterwards!

[mickeymch]

SJCAM C200 looks much better. I just spent over $500 for a pocket 2 for my daughter to have for one college class. Of course I can't tell how it would do in low light conditions but from where I'm sitting the SJCAM C200 would have done the job just as well and I would have money left over for lunch.
The action yikes! I think it might do better if it were mounted on a gimbal, the audio was recorded separately and I took my glasses off, that thing is rough!

[mikebrach]

The c200 was far superior in my opinion.

[MrBergg]

c200 is cheap and good enough than dji action cam 2

The SJ9000 actually looks more like a children's toy, the quality is actually so bad.

[WeekendRider]

SJCAM C200 должна стоить 30 долларов, а вторую даже бесплатно не покупать.

[ojtamayosr]

That SJ 9000 is garbage. I have a $50 camera that is identical to the SJ900 that I use when off roading and the video quality and stabilization is about the same as the more expensive camera.
