AEE Magicam SD21 - Camera Review

Aee magicam a good alternative to the more popular Gopro Hero camera and here's some sample photos taken by the magicam SD21. The photos taken by the magicam will look like fisheye effect due to the wide angle 170 degrees lens. However, you can adjust the angle by zooming out using the controls at the lcd panel. The quality of photos looks better during day time but not so nice for night time photos due to the F3.0 aperture compare to the gopro hero 3 F2.8 aperture. The photos below only adjustment for lighting and resize.

AEE Magical SD21 Full HD Review

The trend of shooting adventure sport in video been around for quite some time and the market leader for adventure camera always been the Gopro Hero series. When I go thru the bicycle buy sell website, I came across this AEE Magicam and attracted by its function and reasonable pricing. I got this unit from the CEX Expo for Rm1,100 with extra battery pack, 1 car mount and 1 head strap mount. This price is excellent compare to Gopro Hero 2 package without the LCD screen for Rm1,299. Specification wise Gopro Hero 2 comes with 11mp while AEE Magicam SD21 with 8mp only. Video quality wise comparable with Full HD function.

This is the AEE Magical SD21 in its waterproof casing up to 60 meters.

The packaging very similar to Gopro.
