The SJ7 Star prices itself higher than other IMX117 / A12 based real 4K cams, but is it worth the extra? Does stand out enough? There's a lot of good things about this camera, but it's hard to be unique in such a saturated market.
I forgot to mention photos. YES, this is a real 12MP sensor, so the photos are decent enough and better than any of the fake 4K cams I have tested.
