This review is for the SooCoo Model S60 (orange and black) action cam. Sent to me for review, this native waterproof action cam has been a real revelation. Unlike similar types of action cameras, this SooCoo model does not have a waterproof shell, it is organically waterproofed by virtue of its design. The only thing to watch for is that the cap that seals the USB port should be well tightened, otherwise water ingress is possible.
My husband has taken some fun underwater video, swimming alongside me the length of the pool, and the trick is to aim the lens correctly because with the sun it is very difficult to see what you are taking, but this is a common issue with these action cams. You basically aim roughly in the desired direction and go for it. The SooCoo is a lot of fun and is very easy to operate. Some more random observations. |

The SooCoo compares very well with similar action cams, but stands out for its unique features of not having a removable shell (which can interfere with sound quality recording) and the remote control band. It also has Wi-Fi capabilities, but I did not have the equipment to test that. It is possible to just use it with its default settings and get very good footage and still images, but a little time spent studying the manual and playing around with the settings will show you that this camera has a vast range of options. It also employs some innovative picture handling technology the details of which go over my head, but the results speak for themselves. A fun, responsive little cam for everyday use.
