This sensor can’t do real 4K, the 4K option with 24fps of Git2 is interpolated The IMX206 has a sensitivity of 1096digits. We bought this when it was £105 a few weeks ago having pined for a long time over a GoPro Hero 4 Black.The Git2 features a 16MP Sony Exmor IMX206 sensor (same as the Xiaomi Yi) In the end we couldn't justify £400 for a tiny camera that might be broken. I researched endlessly online and found that the Git2 offered arguably the best features amongst the hordes of similar GoPro copies including the SJ5000 Elite. We bought the Git2 along with a number of separate accessories including the remote 'watch' strap and external microphone, three extra batteries and charger and a big, cheap kit of mounts. It seems the current product now comes with the very useful remote but not the microphone, so I think it would be cheaper buying camera and remote/mic separately. One great thing about the Git2 is the support on various dashcam and action cam forums. It seems the manufacturer reads and posts regularly, and is actively working on upgrades to firmware suggested by users. The latest firmware (1.4) has added a raft of features and stability including in-camera colour correction (avoiding the need to buy dive filters) and bitrate options (to maintain quality in differing conditions). So far, I have no issues with the image quality and handling. On a recent weekend in Portugal it coped with both rain and sun, handling lens flare well. Low light is not bad - there's grain, but I was using it on auto so changes to the bitrate may have helped. I didn't have chance to try it underwater however. It can be laborious going through the menus at first (there are separate menus for video and picture, as well as a system settings menu) as there are no up and down buttons. You have to cycle through to the start again. To be honest, I thought it would be more annoying than it is, as I quickly started to learn where options were. Most users will probably leave it on auto most of the time anyway. Of course, it's nice having all those options as it gives much more flexibility. The accessories that came with the camera are adequate but you may find yourself buying some more. There's a dive housing, dashcam cradle with tripod mount and handlebar mount as well as a few screws and bits and bobs.

One thing to be aware of is the front of the dive housing is, I believe, not the same size as a GoPro housing, so filters that clip on won't fit. Another thing is the naked camera's circular lens must be slightly smaller than a GoPro, so the Neewer 58mm filter adaptor for GoPro I bought easily slips off. Sound quality seems quite good for such a tiny little thing.
