NOTES
- The image sensor, image processor and other camera hardware mentioned in this review are based on statements found on the and the camera box. I did not disassemble the camera to verify components.
- The camera was delivered to and tested in the US. I don’t know if cameras delivered to other countries will perform the same.
- The camera was tested with firmware version X20161216V03 dated “20161216”. Updates are not available.
- There is no mention of the minimum speed class required for the memory card. Always use a good quality name brand memory card, speed class 10. Off brand or lower speed memory cards are likely to cause problems. I used a Samsung Evo 32GB microSDHC ultra-high-speed class 1 (UHS-I) memory card.
- The WiFi and app were tested using a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone and an Apple iPad Mini 2. The performance of the WiFi and app might be different on your device. The Android app is version 1.8.2. I couldn’t find the iOS app version.
- Video, photo and audio files were downloaded to a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 operating system. Videos and photos were viewed on a 22-inch Samsung 1080p LED monitor/TV to assess quality. Photos and videos might look different on your monitor.
- HDMI output was tested using a 42-inch Panasonic 1080p LCD HDTV. HDMI output might work different on your TV.
- Videos were played back through my home theater system to evaluate audio quality. Audio might sound different on your system.
- XDV makes no mention of any computer hardware or software requirements to playback videos.
- Because the camera was tested in the southern US I couldn’t check it’s performance in cold weather. I also didn’t have the opportunity to test the waterproof enclosure.
- Note for US consumers: Although the package carries the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) logo, the camera lacks the required FCC labeling for WiFi operation.
- Warning for US consumers: The AC adapter does not carry the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) logo and therefore is not UL-listed. I strongly recommend that you use only a UL-listed adapter for charging the camera’s battery. If you use the included adapter please be sure to carefully watch for overheating the first time you use it.
- You can use the US Treasury Rates of Exchange to convert US Dollars to your local currency.
