SJ5000+ Specs

Image Sensor:
The SJ5000+ comes with a 16MP Panasonic MN34120PA Sensor,
It’s currently the largest sensor camera in SJCAM’s product range. The SJ5000 features a 14MP sensor, also by Panasonic.
The SJ4000 features 3MP Aptina sensor and the newer SJ4000+ a 4MP OmniVison sensor.

Chipset:
An Ambarella A7LS chip is used which is the same as in the Xiaomi Yi,
The SJ4000, SJ4000+ & SJ5000 use a Novatek chip.

  • 720p – max. 120fps

Note that the SJ5000 offers a 2″ screen.

Battery:
The SJ5000+ uses the same battery as the other models by SJCAM with a capacity of 900 mAh, which is quite low compared to the Xiaomi Yi (1040 mAh) and the GoPro Hero 4 (1160 mAh), considering the power consumption for the display.

Storage:
A microsSD card is used and up to 32GB are supported.

Connectivity & Ports:
The camera offers wifi for wireless remote via app (iOS or Android), a USB 2.0 port for charging and A/V output and a HDMI port for HD video output.
