$70 Akaso EK7000 Pro vs $99 V50X

[@jayryan7473]

I got my v50x a few weeks ago and the microphone is pretty good! At first I played back a video on the camera itself and the sound was horrible, but I realized it's the speaker NOT the microphone. Playing videos back on my computer proved the microphone works pretty well and I DIDN'T have to turn the volume up much on the computer to hear everything. My only 2 issues are: 1. It sucks in lower light. 2. When I turn the camera on and hit record it will beep but it DOESN'T record. I have to hit record a second time. Once it's been on I can start and stop recording without issue so I can live with this. And you can tell if it's recording by the red blinking light on the screen. One cool thing is it takes the same batteries as my 11-year-old sj4000.

[@Stevenssapiens]

Sj4000 was a really good one men

V50X's stabilization is amazing

[@AuthenTech]

I was pretty impressed myself!

[@sebastianmarmol9233]

@@AuthenTech yes but imagesis cropped A LOT, that sucks!!!

[@IzzysCuisines]

Stabilization on the V50x is GREAT. But Picture quality I would DEFINITELY have to go with the EK7000 The EK7000 is clearer and the colors pop more where the V50X is DULL and DARK.

[@acegik7157]

naw the picture quality is way better on the v50x and you can remedy the dull colors in post processing, theres really no point to getting the ek7000

[@AustinPetDetective]

How can they get everything else so good, on the V50X except for the audio which is so bad ?

The V50X is fine. Don't know i'd be comfortable paying full price for it but might consider it. Struggles severely in some areas but also does some things well Unlike the EK7000 or Pro.

Nice video, really useful because I was looking for a budget action camera but I was never satisfied with the stabilization or dynamic range, looking forward for the gopro comparison 😉

[@AuthenTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thehunterslane]

The EK7000 PRO looks WAY clearer and brighter, making it easier to see, particularly for uploading to social media. The V50X looks dark, blurry and less impressive, EXCEPT for the electronic stabilization. Based on this video, I would go with the EK7000 PRO over the V50X in a heartbeat. Great video - very helpful.

[@juna61]

EK7000 Pro looks way more plasticy with that oversharpened clarity slider to the max. V50X looks much better.

[@retarlil1909]

[@BillyBob-69]

the ek looked better color wise. but everyone sees color differently i guess!! thanks for the video tho!!!

[@RussianSevereWeatherVideos]

Thanks for this video! I was looking for really cheap action cameras I won't feel bad about breaking with my extreme weather usage. Thanks for suggesting the V50X as that alternative! I wonder what sensor and processing chip it has. The 4K timelapse mode and dynamic range look perfect for my weather needs.

[@AuthenTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pareklund]

I bought the V50x and it is not very good. The audio is terrible so the external mic is a must unless you only do silent video. Battery life is bad. Charge it fully, then leave it for two days turned off. Pick it up, start filming and the battery is empty after 2 minutes... The app for transferring your movies to your phone etc. sucks. So, spend some more and you will get a better camera.

[@blackshinobi7825]

I'm planning to buy the v50x but from the mic quality I probably need a external mic,do you have a preference that works with the cam well

[@Aphroditus6473]

Do you recommend V50X for often vlogs and stabilization?

[@tony_wong_tong7353]

The ek7000 pro.Everybody seems to be saying this camera is great. My experience was something different from file errors to not recording video but displaying it is, in the end it just wouldn't turn on sent it back saved my hard earned cash and got a go pro hero 7 black. The most annoying thing about it was when using stabilisation you can not use timestamp and the battery life is terrible.

[@tanveryen]

I had 2 replacement E7000 Pro's and gave up for a refund. Awful battery and both stopped working fast sadly.

[@ivanriverooo]

The thing about the audio, for these cameras, provided you can get audio with a proper external source, I do not give a flying f about, BUT I can see some people screaming in pain having worse audio with the V50. Not an issue for me, cause, when it comes to audio, to Caesar what is Caesar´s. Rode Wireless Go mics and audio externally. All you want is the shot it provides. I really loved your review and your attitude. Well earnt subscription mate! Keep them coming! Cannot believe you did it all in 10:00 minutes.

[@iceezkamillerivera6353]

Will the audio get better to have a microphone attached to V50x? Sorry if this question is dumb.

[@blackshinobi7825]

What kind of external mic that's portable would be good for the V50x

[@rustic35]

In most of those shots, the ek7000 had a better looking picture. The stabilisation might be better on the v50 but, personally, the EK picture quality looked better.

[@tuga2112]

i think your confusing what a better picture is with a camera that has more saturation by default. if you take the footage of the v50X and add a little brightness and saturation on post editing you will get the same image with finer detail. the better quality of the sensor of the v50x is mostly noticeable when the zoom in on the swans is shown.

[@steveirwin_8276]

I thought the EK looked better too!

[@steveirwin_8276]

' on post editing you will get the same image with finer detail' A lot of people don't have the time or patience to do this so the Ek7000 pro becomes more tempting.

Ek7000 is really good for me not sure why ot looks so bad for you

[@jemand8462]

Pause at 3:18. Look at the grass. Look at the water later in the video, look at the leaves of the tree. 7:26 The resolution of the EK7000 to ME seems much better than that of the V50. Yes, it's true, 4k is upscaled by the EK7000, the sensor is only 1080p - I own it myself and did the research. But what really matters is the resulting resolution, not the amount of pixels. This is defined more by the lense really. The one thing that I think the EK7000 does poorly, it seems to have much much much too much of a sharpening filter active. That's why the face looks so weird. And yes, image stabilization is of course very poor.

[@_w_w_]

This comparison is biased, it's clear the only metric he cares about is imagine stabilization. I see a ton more details in EK in EIS off mode, whereas the V50X with EIS on is just a blur and muddy. Comparing the microphone of V50X to EK's is also not fair. There is clearly some sort of wind noise suppression going on in the V50X where as I hear wind noise in the EK. The muted audio effect is likely the processing artifacts of wind noise suppression, similar to the loss of details in EIS.
