Reviews of the Oregon Scientific ATC5K Waterproof Action Camera
-
CNET Review
The Good: The ATC5K has a color LCD that makes it easy to use in the field. Its Webcam and live monitor function enhance the usefulness of the camera. Waterproof, shockproof design takes bumps and splashes in stride.
The Bad: Front-heavy design makes the unit difficult to mount stably. Low light performance is abysmal.
The Bottom Line: The ATC5K Action Camera has a few new features that make it easy to pick up and start using; however, it falls flat when it comes to video and photo quality.
