How much HD Action Cam does ~$40 buy me?
« on: June 26, 2016, 09:44:08 PM »
That's the subject of my newest video, a functional overview and durability report on the Emerson EVC455 Actioncam HD Camera. Please let me know what you think!

Ha, I thought this was going to be about a performance cam for a Harley.

I think your review was a bit kind.  The video quality is quite poor.

It is definitely poor, but.... it's $40. And this is two years old. Two years ago, I don't know if you would have been able to find much better for that price. Today, for about $80-100, you can do MUCH better. It's really about how the absolute cheapest camera actually performs...
