Action camera specialist SJCAM has added a range of three new models to its range. The ION Series is designed to follow on from the company's SJ8 Series and is aiming for the best action camera at a variety of prices – although all three models feature 4K shooting, WiFi connectivity and waterproofing down to depths of 30m.
SJCAM Ion Series Krypton
The flagship in the new range is the Krypton. This features a 170° lens with two glas aspherical elements to improve edge sharpness in its ultra-wide coverage. It has built-in three-axis gyro stabilisation.
It records at 30fps in 4K and 2K, but offers 60fps and 120fps at 1080p. If you shoot at 720p you get a choice of 120fps and 240fps for added slow-mo capability.
The Krypton offers a battery capacity of 100mins - and will sell for £215.99.
SJCAM Ion Series Totem
The middle model in the range features a 166° lens, and also features an external microphone and gyro image stabilization. Three coverage angles are possible, and it offers 80 minutes of running time from its rechargeable battery. There is a built-in touch-sensitive 2in LCD. Frame rates are 24fps at 4K (interpolated), 30fps at 2K, 60fps or 30fps at 1080p, or 120/60/30fps at 720p. The Totem will sell for £119.99.
SJCAM Ion Series Carbon
The budget model in the range has a 70° lens and has a 16MP resolution. It shoota t 30fps at 4K, 30fps at 2.7K, 60/30fps at 1080p and 120/60/30fps at 720p. It has a non-touchscreen two-inch LCD, and a battery life of 70mins. It will sell at £65.99.
