Shit is the short answer.
You get what you pay for. I have had mine for a couple of months now and it's great as a rear camera on my bike. Image quality is OK, but I wouldn't do anything serious on it, battery does last much longer than I expected. I have used it a handful of time without the case, the lens is a little scratched already... It does get burning hot, there was 1 time I had to take the battery out as I was worried it was gonna explode...
I do have a GoPro Hero 3 to compare with. For the low pirce point, the SJCAM is totally fine for everyday use, but I wouldn't do anything serious with it.

Just discovered the SJCAM 4000, it looks like it could fit my needs. I'm guessing the case is for underwater fully submerged usage. Any ideas how the camera would fare without the case for commuting?
