SJCam SJ8 Plus vs. SJCam SJ8 Pro | Action Cam Showdown!

Skip to video samples: 1:24 || Buy the SJ8 Pro here: dreki.tech/sj8-pro or here for cheaper: dreki.tech/sj8-pro-gb
The SJ8 Plus does not make sense to me. Why does this camera even exist? It doesn't seem like SJCam is putting their full force into developing the firmware on this cam and fixing the issues it has. And side by side with the Pro, which is often only $20 - 30 more, the camera quality really falls apart. The sad thing is, in some situations it is a fantastic camera, especially pointed into direct sunlight (thanks to the HDR), or even in overcast (thanks to the bright colours). But overall, with the video skipping issue and the colour balance issues in sunny days, I really think this cam is worth a skip.
What are your thoughts on it?

    when recording video on human objects, this often causes the color on the lips to look very red can this problem be handled? for example by lowering the color on the camera settings or by reducing exposure

    I have now switched to the GoPro Hero 7 Black....My SJCAM SJ8 Pro broke within a couple of months of using it (shut off and wouldn't turn on at all). SJCAM told me to contact the seller which I did who offered to send me a new one...it never arrived. They supposedly sent a second (from Malaysia again) it never arrived again. Then the seller said they would refund me...never happened despite repeated promises. I contacted SJCAM to tell them I wanted to get a replacement and sent them video of the malfunction (like I did to the seller). They erased my help ticket like it never existed...I haven't heard back from them...I'm done with SJCAM...which is sad because I like the SJ7 STAR for cockpit audio when I fly. The only problem I've had with the two SJ7 STAR cameras is that the micro usb port has broken off in both cameras (I superglued a micro usb to usb cable on the second one before it totally broke off so I could keep using it in the plane while charging it at the same time with a USB power supply). The first SJ7 would not record sound after the micro usb port broke (while using the plug in official SJCAM microphone. The GoPro Hero 7 surpasses everything...that's all I'm saying..the only problem is that it's never going to be as cheap as SJCAM. I did all of my video reviewing with the SJ7 and SJ8 but they will be retired soon with GoPro cameras. The hypersmooth technology is what sold me and it is great. I do not have room in the plane to have a gyro. UPDATE: The second help desk ticket was taken down without answer as well...DO NOT BUY SJCAM....or should we leave the J silent and call it SCAM?

    As to me, all the last generation of cameras is usless. I mean, today 60fps is essential, stablilization is essential. Also 720p is usless in 2019. Therefore only 2 options: 1080/60 with stab and 4k/60 with stab. THe first can be aceived on much older cams, the second can't be acheived by any. Well, as long as we assume 1080/60 on older cams is equal to 1080/60 on newer cams. I planned to buy Sj7 star for 1080/60 w/stab, but week ago got sj5000 elite in perfect condition for 35usd, now watching compare videos and deciding to buy or not to buy sj7. Also, i guess, the troble is in too big step from 1080 to 4k, QHD (1440p) was kinda skipped.

    Strange, no one word about lags on sj8 Plus, like 2:25 If it like that on original file, the camera is a totally useless.

    Mate that was the first thing I mentioned, although I called it "skipping" because that's really what it is - the cam skips frames in 4k30 EIS. Turn off stabilization and it's fine but that defeats the purpose of the camera ... in fact that's entirely what this video was about lol
