Hey guys, just got the email from GroupOn and thought i would share it, not sure of the type of quality as i dont have any experience in this field to comment, maybe our Tech Hubbers know a bit more and can inform us if its worth while or not.

I would be carefull with this one.

 

Specs says it does 720p video but not at what FPS, should be at least 60fps to be good video.

 

Its "OK" if you are happy with not too decent video quality.

 

5mp camera is not bad but once again there is no gaurantee that it will be good quality photos

If you get one, please report back if its OK. Its well priced and I would be interested if it works well.

 

Thanks

In 2011 I had a bee in my bonnet for the Argus. Pulled out an old 5mp digital camera, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and sellotaped it to my bicycle ... amazing pictures! Price equivalent - R 499.00 ... I cannot see myself spending more on a "action camera" than a "cheap" digital camera with better zoom, longer battery life and a larger SD Card capability.

 

I am amazed by the providers of these types of cameras as to how they justify the pricing ... because they can add the wor "action" to the description?

 

It would be interesting to compare the images taken with one of these to a point and click digital camera.

Its more about the video than the pictures imho. The photo ability is an extra. Digital camera would be better for stills.
