Our take on the SJCAM A50 Action Camera

The SJCAM A50 is a compact action camera built for body-worn and everyday recording. It captures 4K video at 30fps and 8MP photos using a Sony IMX327 sensor, with 3-axis gyro stabilization to smooth out shakes. Its IP65 rating makes it splash and dust resistant, but not submersible without a case. A 2.0-inch touchscreen and Wi-Fi let you frame and share clips easily. Compared with pricier action cams, it offers fewer frame-rate options and lower photo resolution, but suits budget-conscious users who want simple 4K capture.
