SJCAM's Pro Action Camcorder SJ8 is designed to take on the sharks of the action camera industry. The thing is that she writes videos in a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, and even with a frame rate of up to 60 fps. However gyroscopic stabilization is available to the user only when shooting at a frame rate of 30 fps and in all lower resolutions (QuadHD, FullHD and HD — everything is standard with this model).

The camera assets have two screens (the main one from the rear, stretching diagonally by 2.33", and a 0.96-inch OLED display on the front panel), a USB-C port for charging the battery, and a Wi-Fi module for wireless pairing with mobile gadgets. SJCAM SJ8 Pro allows you to take photos while shooting video, and also has preset time-lapse and loop video recording modes. The model is produced in two trim levels: lightweight (only the camera with a charging cord) and extended (camcorder body along with a bunch of fasteners and branded accessories).

Model overview based on user reviews  
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro is a well-regarded action camera, praised for its 4K 60fps video capability and decent stabilization, making it a competitive alternative to pricier models like the GoPro HERO 5 and 6. Users appreciate its high build quality, touchscreen interface, and the inclusion of a USB Type-C connector. The camera is noted for its extensive accessory package and affordability, offering a good image quality for the price. However, some drawbacks include quiet speakers, lagging gallery, and issues with digital stabilization in certain modes, such as 4K 60fps. Additionally, the camera struggles in low-light conditions, and users may need to adjust saturation in post-production. Despite these issues, the SJ8 Pro is considered a strong option for those seeking a budget-friendly action camera with robust features.
Pros

Cons

very good camera I recommend buying it for the money!
30 June 2020 
an awesome camera for its price! 100% GoPro killer!
The camera is comparable to GoPro HERO 5 and GoPro HERO 6 but it is cheaper.
GoPro HERO 5 20000 rubles
GoPro HERO 6 26000 rubles
SJCAM SJ8 Pro 13000 rubles
Better than any other Chinese brand!
No equivalents!
works for a long time, beautiful, touch, high quality, nice VERY nice plastic, good sound, build quality! The presence of a USB Type-C connector, a bright and colorful menu menu. HUGE set!
quiet speakers, lagging gallery, automatic white balance behaves very strangely. It's better to choose right away! recording Filming for up to 20 minutes, then the recording turns off and immediately turns on and so on again.

Not a bad camera for the money. Better than other Chinese, but much worse than GoPro
14 July 2019 
I bought this from a friend. I’ll say right away: GoPro 7 is like walking to China, although many try to compare them. See the pros and cons below...
4K 60fps
Decent stabilization.
Relatively good image for this money.
The same digital stabilization doesn't work in some modes, like 4K 60fps. The sound recording is decent, but there's a hissing noise in the background. Firmware update did not help. The white balance is somewhat dull. Saturation will have to be adjusted in video editors. In low-light conditions, like at night in the city, you can forget about the image. Either silhouettes with a lot of noise...

Video reviews

The SJ8 Pro is the flagship of SJCAM with a rich set of video capabilities and extended factory equipment. But first things first.

Traditional form factor

The device is made in a traditional rectangular form factor with a protruding lens on the front panel. There is also a small 0.96-inch diagonal information screen on the front to duplicate key settings. The main display occupies the back of the case and has a diagonal size of 2.33". The screen responds clearly to touch controls and remains legible outdoors in sunlight.

4K video at 60 fps

SJCAM SJ8 Pro is equipped with Sony IMX377 image sensor and Ambarella H22 S85 processor. This bundle provides video recording in resolution up to 4K with a maximum frame rate of 60 fps. In addition, the camera supports the H.265 codec, which allows you to get better video compression. During shooting, electronic stabilization is available to the operator, however, it is included in the work when the frame rate of 4K video is lowered to 30 fps. In 4K mode at 60 fps, the body of the camcorder heats up noticeably. The model allows you to take a photo during video shooting, has preset modes for shooting time-lapses and cyclic video recording.

Extended equipment

Remote control of the action camera is possible through the mobile application for the SJCAM Zone smartphone. The programme provides access to uploading videos to the memory of a mobile device, viewing images from the camera, and managing basic functions. Also , the extended package of the model pleases: along with it, several mounts for different surfaces, a connection cable, an aquabox with a special cover are supplied. In the basic version, the camera comes only as a pair with a charging cord.

Long battery life

In terms of battery life , the SJCAM SJ8 Pro shoots without a break for up to an hour and a half when it comes to 4K video, and two hours in the case of videos in FullHD resolution. The battery slot of the action camera is combined with a “seat” for a microSD memory card. Another “trick” of the model is support for connecting an external microphone, which will definitely appeal to video bloggers.

Additional features action camera SJCAM SJ8 Pro:
  • Processor Ambarella H22 S85.
  • SONY IMX377 sensor.
