This is a fantastic action camera for the price
This is a fantastic action camera for the price; and in my opinion, the best out of all of the "cheapo" GoPro clones out there.In essence, this is a hybrid between the Xiaomi YI and the SJ S5000+ WiFi. I'll split the review up into build quality, video quality, battery life, accessories, other features, and conclusion. I am not being paid to review this product - this was bought as an experiment of sorts.In terms of build quality, this device is "plastic fantastic". It feels relatively cheap in terms of materials, but at the same time it is light and feels very solid. These materials are clearly assembled in a good manner, with no rattles or give in the device. The same can be said about the accesories - the waterproof case feels as well as the other mounting kit feels very sturdy, and is certainly waterproof. There is no vignetting from the waterproof case.As far as video quality goes, this was an incredibly impressive device. With a high quality 170 degree lens, you achieve that same "fish eye" effect that can be seen in GoPro footage and extreme wide angle lenses. It records in 1920x1080 in up to 60FPS for smooth, detailed recordings, and this can be slowed down by half to achieve a still silky smooth slow motion effect. You can also record in 1280x720 at 120FPS, but the detail does drop off. At 1280x720 at 120FPS, you can slow the video down four times to achieve an ultra slow motion effect.In terms of actual quality of recording, it is good to great. Images are sharp, but in some darker situations, the image becomes noticeably softer. Colours are a great point of this camera, they are incredibly accurate, and unlike the SJ5000+ they are not colder than they should be. Contrast is also very good, if not slightly too intense. Overall, in many situations the video quality is comparable to a GoPro Hero 3+ Black or Silver, and definitely outclasses the likes of the GoPro Hero 3+ White and the GoPro Hero, all of which are more expensive.Battery life is a definite strong point of this camera, as it comes with a replaceable 1200mAh battery. In my tests, a full charge lasted around 1 hour and 45 minutes while recording in 1920x1080 60FPS, and likely longer in other, less demanding recording settings. The screen turns off automatically after a minute or so of recording, so that isn't a huge battery drainer. The battery life of this camera definitely outclasses both the Xiaomi YI and the SJ5000+, and matches that of more expensive GoPros. The only small issue I had with the product is the fact that it didn't come with an external battery charger, and although you can buy other separate spare batteries, these must be charged within the device itself through Micro USB.A great feature of this camera package is that, unlike with the Xiaomi YI and more like the SJ5000+, it comes with a wide variety of accesories that are incredibly useful. Here is a comprehensive list. 2 Adhesive pads, 1 helmet mount, 1 IR Remote, 1 suction cup for use on dashboards or skis etc, 1 handlebar/pole mount, Waterproof housing and another mount that is attached to a strap. This is far more than comes with the Xiaomi YI, which is only £10 cheaper and does not include an LCD screen. These accessories are also interchangeable with GoPro accessories, unlike with the Xiaomi. Overall, this device matches the SJCam lineup in terms of accessories out of the box, and was indeed very impressive.There are two awesome features that are included within this camera - a 2" LCD screen and WiFi capability. The screen is an awesome addition for finding a great composition before recording - and this definitely felt like it was missing on the Xiaomi YI regardless of its WiFi capabilities. The menus are easy to navigate and are very comprehensive, and the satisfying tactility of the 8030w's buttons makes it almost satisfying to change settings. The WiFi is another great feature, and uses the same communication hardware as the SJ5000+, and thus the apps can be used between devices. With the Denver Action Cam 2 app on Android, the lag was near non existent (though this is dependent on your specific Android device), and it made it easy to view and download files. However, it didn't feel needed with the existence of the LCD screen. Still a nifty feature for showing friends a view through the camera and for changing settings when the camera is, for example, mounted to a helmet and is thus inaccessible. The camera also comes with an IR remote in which similarly to with a GoPro, you can use to record and take images remotely. This comes in the format of a wrist band.In conclusion, this is a fantastic little camera for a mindbogglingly low price. The price to performance ratio here is stellar, and to me, this feels like a perfect mix of the Xiaomi YI camera and the SJ5000+. It has the convenience of WiFi and a 2" LCD screen, as well as a variety of accessories out of the box and great quality 60FPS 1920x1080 video quality.If your on a whim and considering buying this, GO FOR IT. You won't be disappointed.

Utter crap
I bought this product on the basis that it had more features than many of the cheaper action cameras out there having owned several others, the family and I were going to use this for snorkelling in Egypt on our family holiday which we are still on at the moment. Unfortunately I didn't check the thing worked prior to leaving the UK. It doesn't! which compelled me to pen this review, very bad build quality and a unit that just won't record, freezes and then the screen just goes fuzzy and now it just won't switch on at all! The kids are loving the tropical fish and keep asking why the camera isn't working as they want to keep their memories all I can say it doesn't work because it's utter crap! (Obviously I don't say this to the kids) a total disappointment for the whole family, should have invested in a GoPro!

Promising, if we can find out how to work it properly!
This was a present for my grandson. It seems to be well made and offer all the facilities he would want. The pack includes a good range of gadgets to fit onto helmets, handlebars etc. We would have liked fuller instructions.

it has its limitations but if you want a usable bit of kit and an action cam for that of holiday or journey then this is great v
If an action cam is something that is integral with your training or leisure activities then sure, spending more and buying a known and branded cam such as 'Go Pro' is probably wise. However I have to say I'm not one for going for the cheap option normally and so when I purchased this Denver product for the money, I thought it was going to be ok and nothing more. Sure, it has its limitations but if you want a usable bit of kit and an action cam for that of holiday or journey then this is great value for money. It comes with a whole host of kit and even though you will need to get your own HD micro card it really is a bargain. Well packaged, well made and pretty good HD quality. It has limitations on the battery life but let's be realistic. Good bit of kit!!

Sound and video quality is very good.
The media could not be loaded. I've added a short video recorded at 30fps so judge the quality for yourselves. Unlike some action camera's this one doesn't have auto record on power up.

You do not have to pay hundreds to get a functional HD sports camera
I am now delighted with my Denver AC-5000W HD Sports Camera. When the camera arrived it worked fine however, after charging the camera died but this was rapidly put right by 3wisemonkeys who sold the camera to me. The picture is clear, operation is straight forward and paired with an iPhone you have a great remote controlled sports camera with clear live feed picture of what your capturing.The unit feels well made and sturdy even though it looks similar to the myriad of other sports cameras out there that are, to put it bluntly rubbish (circa £15-30). I know this cos I have bought several of them. You do not have to pay hundreds though to get a functional HD sports camera, try this one.

Primera valoración visual y final.
Primera impresión sin probarla: Manufactura perfecta. Sólida y robusta. Buena calidad del material (en principio). Acceso a los menús correcto. Botonera simple y efectiva. La jaula de montaje mala. Sorprende que soporta tarjeta de 64 GB, frente a las indicaciones del fabricante (hasta 32). Fantástica la opción automática de giro 180ª. Es algo más grande que las Gopro Hero sessión 4 y 5 pero pesa lo mismo. conexión WiFi instantánea. Ángulo de cobertura 120º (inferior a Gopro hero 4 y 5 que es de 170º).La voy a probar con la configuración de video máxima (la que viene por defecto): 1080p (1920x1080) - 30fps, pero creo que para tomas nítidas en ciclismo de carretera debería de ofrecer los 60fps. Continuará...Final fatal: El giroscopio invierte la imagen 180º como indica el fabricante, pero las grabaciones no. Con lo que hay que girar la grabación 180ª con editor de video. Se desconecta a los 29 minutos de grabación, con lo que grabaciones de 1 hora, hay que preverla para no quedarte sin grabaciones.En fin. La devolveré.
