Thank you so much for this review I have had to return 3 cameras that weren't even close to what they claim I'm sure your well aware of the Interpolation used in cheaper cameras so they can claim 20 megapixels when in fact they don't even have a 1 megapixel sensor. I did some deeper digging on this The AKASO EK7000 action camera and has a 1/2.3 inch CMOS image sensor and has 8 useable megapixel which is only 2 less than my GoPro Hero 7 was. Anyways huge thank you this camera will have to do for now I can't afford a new 600$ GoPro and making fishing content is how I earn my living.
My experience is the same as yours. I just bought both an EK7000 and an EK7000Pro. I've tested the still photos. Both claim to have 20megapixel modes, although the manual for the non-Pro says 12MP. Both are hardly any better than their 4MP modes. Definitely interpolating, which is certainly not mentioned in AKASO's documentation or advertisements. I feel cheated. But, as my uses will be as dashcams, I'm not sure how important image quality is and I have to say I'm impressed at all the accessories you get.
I’m looking at this to record doing tattoos, can you have external power like a power bank plugged into it for longer sessions since the batteries only last around 90 minutes?
Hi i bought this a few weeks ago and bought a couple of sd cards... can i format the sd cards in this or do i have to do it on a laptop or pc furst before i use them in this akaso.. thanks... im still trying to figure out how to put it in a normal mount as its in the waterproof mount at the minute 😒
Wow, a game changer for budget cameras from a good enough brand. To say or advise anyone to try and buy it for basic use. At a really economical price , In my channel, there are reviews of budget cameras like these.
It would work for some on a budget, but its no insta360. It is overly sharp in areas it shouldn't be and when close up in lower light, the details are all gone in things. That rock with the cameras was a perfect example.
