Input needed: SJcam (like gopro)

Came across this groupon

SJCam 1080p Full-HD Waterproof Action Camera and Optional MicroSD Card | Groupon

Has anyone used one of these? Seems like a pretty good deal, at a fraction of the price for a GoPro

Thanks

Suppose to be one of the better knock offs. GoPro is still the better camera. But at 1/3 the price you cant complain.


Not sure on the warranty. That's the main thing with the Chinese products

And just make sure you don't get one of the well-documented "knock-offs". If you can get the real SJ cam, then I think you're getting a pretty damn good deal since you can still use most gopro accessories.

I was going to get one, until the last Sport Chek sale where I picked up a Hero3+ BE for just double the SJ cam. But comparing regular prices, the SJ cam is a pretty good alternative.

Oh yeah. Forgot, careful with the knockoff of the knockoff. LOL there's apparently fake SJ Cams too.
