The best personal video camera (GO PRO?)

[Stoned 10]

Hi. Im looking for the best personal body camera for a friend. I need two and they must be Hi Def, Take a memory card, be no more than £100 each

These are needed fast so ideally i can get them in Sheffield or close. Not online as they are needed quick.

Thank you

I recently got a GoPro from Costco, they were in stock, but not close to £100. If you want a cheaper poorer quality one perhaps try an sj4000.

Can anyone comment on this camera for me please?

Has anyone got any experience with either of these? Especially in low light conditions? Any input will be greatfully received.

GoPro's are great kit, I used one at work to film some focus groups and it was such a joy to work with, they just do what they say on the can, but they do it well. The ones I used were older than the ones you linked to if memory serves me well, don't really keep up with their development.

GoPro's are often updated and their fans often like to buy the latest version, so you can sometimes pick up a good condition second hand one cheaper.

The Xiaomi is excellent and has a ton of hacks to tweak the video quality and bitrate.

The Xiaomi is not a GoPro copy, it's a quality action cam in its own right.

Chill Mr Xiaomi.

 

To the average person, it's a GoPro copy.

Only in the same way that a GoPro is a scaled down copy of a Nikkon coolpix.
