Even if you're not into extreme sports or outdoor adventures, an action camera is certainly one of those gadgets that should be included in your arsenal of electronic devices. This nifty camera can be a huge help for documenting your travels and holidays around the world. It also offers many practical uses. But before you buy one, it's important that you know what to look for to ensure that you'll get great value for your money.
What to Consider When Shopping for an Action Camera
Here are the key specs you should consider when buying an action camera.
1. Video quality
First and foremost, ensure that you're buying a camera that offers excellent video resolution. But how do you know which video resolution is the right one? Well, it depends on what you'll be using your camera for and on what devices you'll be viewing the video footages you have taken. Currently, 4K resolution is the highest video quality offered by many high-end action cameras. Then, there are also those with 1080p video resolution, followed by 720p. If you don't own a 4K TV or computer monitor, there's no point in buying an action camera with 4K resolution.
2. Dimensions
Another important factor to consider is how big or small the sports action cam is and how convenient it is to take with you. Most action cameras are box-shaped, allowing you to mount them on your chest. Others are bullet-shaped so they can be easily mounted on helmets. For maximum convenience, take note of the camera's size and weight. If you want maximum portability, choose the lightest and most compact camera.
3. Field of view
Field of view basically refers to the area the camera can capture. Most cameras have wide angle field of view, which sometimes results in videos and images that are distorted or with fisheye effect. Fortunately, there are those that allow you to choose between wide, medium, and narrow field of view. Choose one that can give you lots of options.
4. Durability
Want to use your camera in tough environments? Then make sure that it will survive the trip. Choose an action video camera that is sturdy and durable so it won't break easily. Also, make sure that it is waterproof and weatherproof so you won't have any problems in case you use it in rain, snow, or underwater.
5. Battery life
Another important factor to consider is the battery capacity. Opt for a camera that has long battery life so you can be sure that it won't suddenly die on you after just a few minutes of use.
