Various types of these go for around £50 and seem to get good reviews (apart from the sound) on Amazon and the like. Any one with recent experience. Proposed present for a 12 year old.

i like the genuine sj cams, but beware of many fakes.

the sj2000 is a good one, the wifi version better, but their achillies heel are the side switches that are easily broken when using it in the waterproof case as i found out. very annoying.

my father in law just had me set up a sjcam legend for him and that was a nice bit of kit but more pricey.

to be honest for a 12year old just get a generic hd cam for about 20quid.

The couple of cheap ones that I have used recorded a pretty decent picture to be honest. The only let down they both had, was the actual usability of them, they always seemed really 'faffy' to start recording, and I was never sure whether I had set it off recording in the proper mode.

Very happy with our sj4000. It is a bit faffy to start. The buttons are quite firm and you have to press a couple of times to get to the right mode but once used to it its fine. Picture quality is great. Waterproofing works. It hasn't had much use but it does the job. Couple of years old now so I presume there is a new, better version by now.
