It features native 4K video at 30fps and costs just under Php9k, a very competitive price.\nDesign and Construction\nOpening the box, we find a bunch of accessories to accompany the unit itself.\n00:00\n00:00\n00:00\nWater and shockproof shell\nStandard frame mount\nLens cap\nMotorbike\/motorcycle roll bar mount + 3-way pivot arms\nBackplate with a cutout for the touch display\nCurved and flat adhesive mounts\nUniversal 1\/4? camera tripod mount\nTripod mount adapter\nCleaning cloth\nUSB A to USB mini B cable\nSJCAM stickers & manual\nAt first glance, the SJ7 Star looks just like any other action camera, sharing a similar look to a GoPro with its rectangular shape and cylindrical lens positioned on the upper right. The aluminum frame gives the bare camera toughness while making it look and feel pretty good. The front face and the buttons are made of rubber, which provides some good grip. The buttons aren’t particularly tactile, though.\nUp front, we have the power and settings buttons, two LED indicators, and the 166° FOV wide-angle lens. The only other button is up top, the shutter button.\nThe left side houses the microSD card slot and mini USB port for charging and data transfer.\nAt the bottom is the hatch for the 1,000mAh removable battery.\nThe bare SJ7 Star feels great in the hands and all, but that isn’t really where it belongs. Go and put it in the clear plastic shell and mount it somewhere interesting!\nSpeaking of the shell, it definitely works as intended in the department of keeping the camera safe from harm, though it needs improvement.\nThe latch on top has an extra slider that adds security but makes the removal process feel awkward. The buttons also shouldn’t have to be pressed that hard.\nDisplay\nAt the back of the camera is the 2-inch LCD touchscreen that is sufficient for quick framing and viewing your shots. It’s also bright enough to be used outside on a sunny day.\nTouch responsiveness is average and can get sluggish at times, but for the most part, it’s usable. My problem with it is more related to the menu system, in that it’s quite difficult to navigate \nwithout\nusing the touchscreen, which should not be the case.\nConnectivity\nAside from file transfer via USB connection, you can connect the SJ7 Star to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. The connection is quite wonky but works as intended once pairing is successful.\nThere is a little delay with the live preview, and you get to adjust all the shooting settings.\nViewing your photos and videos is sluggish, and the app’s built-in photo editing tools are quite tacky and dated. Overall, the only real value of the SJCAM app is in the live preview.\nCamera Quality\nThe SJ7 Star can shoot photos up to 16M and videos up to 4K @ 30fps. Both photo and video quality are good in outdoor situations, providing accurate colors and sufficient detail, but dynamic range suffers heavily, resulting in blown out skies on sunny days. Colors also tend to look more washed out when an image is overexposed.\nVideo stabilization is average at best, but definitely could be better. In this footage of the SJ7 Star on a head mount, while I was biking, it feels as if every bump is felt. This is, to some extent, the nature of action camera videos, but the watchability of a more stable shot is definitely greater.\nBattery Life\nThe SJ7 Star has a 1,000mAh removable battery. The fully charged battery was exhausted within a couple of hours of continuous use. One thing we noticed was that even with the protective shell on, the camera heated up quite a bit during use, as well as charging.\nCharging from 0% to full takes a little over an hour, which isn’t too bad.\nConclusion\nThe SJ7 Star is not the newest that SJCAM has to offer, but is still definitely a great choice as it gives you a lot of camera power at a low price.\nIt’s not the most intuitive to use, especially when you’re used to the great user experience of GoPro’s offerings, but for just under Php9k, it’s a great deal.\nSJCAM SJ7 Star specs\n12.4 MP Sony IMX117 16 Sensor\nAmbarella A12S75 chipset\n2-inch LCD touchscreen\nField of View: 166°\nVideo resolutions: 4K@30\/25fps; 2.7K@30fps; 2.5K@60\/30fps; 1440p@60\/30fps; 1080p@120\/60\/30fps; 720p@200\/120\/60\/30fps\nModes: Single Shot, Burst, Time-Lapse, Video+Photo, Car Mode, Underwater\nPhoto: 16MP\nWiFi\nDigital Image Stabilization\nExternal Mic\nMicroSD with Class 10 and SDXC cards, up to 128GB\nMini-USB\n1,000mAh removable battery\nBlack, Silver, Rose Gold\nSJCAM SJ7 Star \nspecs:\n12.4 MP Sony IMX117 16 Sensor\nAmbarella A12S75 chipset\n2-inch LCD touchscreen\nField of View: 166°\nVideo resolutions: 4K@30\/25fps; 2.7K@30fps; 2.5K@60\/30fps; 1440p@60\/30fps; 1080p@120\/60\/30fps; 720p@200\/120\/60\/30fps\nModes: Single Shot, Burst, Time-Lapse, Video+Photo, Car Mode, Underwater\nPhoto: 16MP\nWiFi\nDigital Image Stabilization\nExternal Mic\nMicroSD with Class 10 and SDXC cards, up to 128GB\nMini-USB\n1,000mAh removable battery\nBlack, Silver, Rose Gold\nThe SJCAM SJ7 Star is priced at \nPhp8,995\nand is available at Lazada.

Last year, SJCAM released a new action camera, the SJ7 Star , adding to their line-up of what some would call ‘GoPro killers’. With the SJ8 Star still for pre-order, the SJ7 Star counts as the company’s current flagship action camera at the time of writing. It features native 4K video at 30fps and costs just under Php9k, a very competitive price. Design and Construction Opening the box, we find a bunch of accessories to accompany the unit itself. 00:00 00:00 00:00 Water and shockproof shell Standard frame mount Lens cap Motorbike/motorcycle roll bar mount + 3-way pivot arms Backplate with a cutout for the touch display Curved and flat adhesive mounts Universal 1/4? camera tripod mount Tripod mount adapter Cleaning cloth USB A to USB mini B cable SJCAM stickers & manual At first glance, the SJ7 Star looks just like any other action camera, sharing a similar look to a GoPro with its rectangular shape and cylindrical lens positioned on the upper right.

The only other button is up top, the shutter button. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-7.jpg) The left side houses the microSD card slot and mini USB port for charging and data transfer. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-9.jpg) At the bottom is the hatch for the 1,000mAh removable battery. The bare SJ7 Star feels great in the hands and all, but that isn’t really where it belongs. Go and put it in the clear plastic shell and mount it somewhere interesting\! Speaking of the shell, it definitely works as intended in the department of keeping the camera safe from harm, though it needs improvement. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-5.jpg) The latch on top has an extra slider that adds security but makes the removal process feel awkward. The buttons also shouldn’t have to be pressed that hard. ### Display At the back of the camera is the 2-inch LCD touchscreen that is sufficient for quick framing and viewing your shots. It’s also bright enough to be used outside on a sunny day. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-11.jpg) Touch responsiveness is average and can get sluggish at times, but for the most part, it’s usable. My problem with it is more related to the menu system, in that it’s quite difficult to navigate *without* using the touchscreen, which should not be the case. ### Connectivity Aside from file transfer via USB connection, you can connect the SJ7 Star to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. The connection is quite wonky but works as intended once pairing is successful. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-app-screenshot-2.png) There is a little delay with the live preview, and you get to adjust all the shooting settings. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-app-screenshot-1.png)![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-app-screenshot-1.png) Viewing your photos and videos is sluggish, and the app’s built-in photo editing tools are quite tacky and dated. Overall, the only real value of the SJCAM app is in the live preview. ### Camera Quality The SJ7 Star can shoot photos up to 16M and videos up to 4K @ 30fps. Both photo and video quality are good in outdoor situations, providing accurate colors and sufficient detail, but dynamic range suffers heavily, resulting in blown out skies on sunny days. Colors also tend to look more washed out when an image is overexposed.

In this footage of the SJ7 Star on a head mount, while I was biking, it feels as if every bump is felt. This is, to some extent, the nature of action camera videos, but the watchability of a more stable shot is definitely greater. ### Battery Life The SJ7 Star has a 1,000mAh removable battery. The fully charged battery was exhausted within a couple of hours of continuous use. One thing we noticed was that even with the protective shell on, the camera heated up quite a bit during use, as well as charging. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-8.jpg) Charging from 0% to full takes a little over an hour, which isn’t too bad. ### Conclusion The SJ7 Star is not the newest that SJCAM has to offer, but is still definitely a great choice as it gives you a lot of camera power at a low price. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-4.jpg)It’s not the most intuitive to use, especially when you’re used to the great user experience of GoPro’s offerings, but for just under Php9k, it’s a great deal.

Last year, **SJCAM** released a new action camera, the **SJ7 Star**, adding to their line-up of what some would call ‘GoPro killers’. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-1.jpg) With the SJ8 Star still for pre-order, the SJ7 Star counts as the company’s current flagship action camera at the time of writing. It features native 4K video at 30fps and costs just under Php9k, a very competitive price. ### Design and Construction Opening the box, we find a bunch of accessories to accompany the unit itself. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-3.jpg) 00:00 00:00 00:00 - Water and shockproof shell - Standard frame mount - Lens cap - Motorbike/motorcycle roll bar mount + 3-way pivot arms - Backplate with a cutout for the touch display - Curved and flat adhesive mounts - Universal 1/4? camera tripod mount - Tripod mount adapter - Cleaning cloth - USB A to USB mini B cable - SJCAM stickers & manual At first glance, the SJ7 Star looks just like any other action camera, sharing a similar look to a GoPro with its rectangular shape and cylindrical lens positioned on the upper right. The aluminum frame gives the bare camera toughness while making it look and feel pretty good. The front face and the buttons are made of rubber, which provides some good grip. The buttons aren’t particularly tactile, though. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-10.jpg) Up front, we have the power and settings buttons, two LED indicators, and the 166° FOV wide-angle lens. The only other button is up top, the shutter button. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-7.jpg) The left side houses the microSD card slot and mini USB port for charging and data transfer. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-9.jpg) At the bottom is the hatch for the 1,000mAh removable battery. The bare SJ7 Star feels great in the hands and all, but that isn’t really where it belongs. Go and put it in the clear plastic shell and mount it somewhere interesting\! Speaking of the shell, it definitely works as intended in the department of keeping the camera safe from harm, though it needs improvement. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-5.jpg) The latch on top has an extra slider that adds security but makes the removal process feel awkward. The buttons also shouldn’t have to be pressed that hard. ### Display At the back of the camera is the 2-inch LCD touchscreen that is sufficient for quick framing and viewing your shots. It’s also bright enough to be used outside on a sunny day. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-11.jpg) Touch responsiveness is average and can get sluggish at times, but for the most part, it’s usable. My problem with it is more related to the menu system, in that it’s quite difficult to navigate *without* using the touchscreen, which should not be the case. ### Connectivity Aside from file transfer via USB connection, you can connect the SJ7 Star to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. The connection is quite wonky but works as intended once pairing is successful. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-app-screenshot-2.png) There is a little delay with the live preview, and you get to adjust all the shooting settings. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-app-screenshot-1.png)![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-app-screenshot-1.png) Viewing your photos and videos is sluggish, and the app’s built-in photo editing tools are quite tacky and dated. Overall, the only real value of the SJCAM app is in the live preview. ### Camera Quality The SJ7 Star can shoot photos up to 16M and videos up to 4K @ 30fps. Both photo and video quality are good in outdoor situations, providing accurate colors and sufficient detail, but dynamic range suffers heavily, resulting in blown out skies on sunny days. Colors also tend to look more washed out when an image is overexposed. [![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-5.jpg)](https://www.yugatech.com/gadget-reviews/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review/attachment/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-5/) [![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-6.jpg)](https://www.yugatech.com/gadget-reviews/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review/attachment/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-6/) [![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-4.jpg)](https://www.yugatech.com/gadget-reviews/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review/attachment/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-4/) [![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-3.jpg)](https://www.yugatech.com/gadget-reviews/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review/attachment/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-3/) [![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-2.jpg)](https://www.yugatech.com/gadget-reviews/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review/attachment/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-2/) [![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-1.jpg)](https://www.yugatech.com/gadget-reviews/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review/attachment/sjcam-sj7-star-sample-photo-quick-review-1/) ![Video thumbnail](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_f-JOuvDcqw/maxresdefault.jpg) Video stabilization is average at best, but definitely could be better. In this footage of the SJ7 Star on a head mount, while I was biking, it feels as if every bump is felt. This is, to some extent, the nature of action camera videos, but the watchability of a more stable shot is definitely greater. ### Battery Life The SJ7 Star has a 1,000mAh removable battery. The fully charged battery was exhausted within a couple of hours of continuous use. One thing we noticed was that even with the protective shell on, the camera heated up quite a bit during use, as well as charging. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-8.jpg) Charging from 0% to full takes a little over an hour, which isn’t too bad. ### Conclusion The SJ7 Star is not the newest that SJCAM has to offer, but is still definitely a great choice as it gives you a lot of camera power at a low price. ![](https://www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/sjcam-sj7-star-quick-review-product-shots-4.jpg)It’s not the most intuitive to use, especially when you’re used to the great user experience of GoPro’s offerings, but for just under Php9k, it’s a great deal.

See listing [here](http://bit.ly/2K5m08P). *What we liked:* - Produces quality photos and videos - 4K video - Good build quality - Low latency live view with SJCAM mobile app - Decent amount of included accessories - Affordable *What we didn’t:* - Low dynamic range - Less than stellar mobile app - Sluggish touchscreen - Unintuitive menu navigation system React to this article:
