I think you mean
but anyway, maybe it is, I don't know. But the Mijia is pretty adequate, and truth be told, if I had to buy it for 55 bucs, I'd be tempted to look at the Yi too... Biggest disadvantage for the Yi is it's size... so big, the Mijia is really much smaller, and BLACK in stead of the more visible Yi's grey.
Nevertheless I also have the Viofo A119S (flash sale also.... I like discounts
), and here are some comparisons to have a look at:
I can post many others, but you get the general idea, the Mijia shows darker images than the A119S, but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. The Viofo shows more grain, and is twice the price. Nevertheless I like them both a lot, the A119S for it's low light peformance and 1080/60, the Mijia for the great price performance factor. I intended to use it for in-cabin recording so I'd have a proof of what I was doing during an incident, but it seems to use AVERAGE IMAGE light metering so there is no CENTER / SPOT light metering mode, so now the dark inside of the cabin causes the camera to blow up the whole image and the things that you can see through the windshield is way over exposed, and that is really a bummer.
Another thing is, that I noticed in the live WiFi view the image is MUCH brighter than the actual recorded video, so I took a look into that, and guess what I found? The first second or so the image is very bright, bright like A119S, and after one or 1,5 second the image is being darkened by the firmware, maybe the developers can do something about the general brightness to it, or provide an exposure value setting that we can change ourselves.
Here's what I mean:
Start recording:
after one second:
2 more
Start recording:
After one second:
Now that just creaps my corn! Why not keep the nice and bright image recording??
Don't get me wrong, if you wouldn't have any comparison at all, you'd be very happy with the Mijia, and in well lit city area's it's still a great dash camera, and in daylight it even records nicely in direct low sunlight as you can see in my 30 minute clip.
Here's a clip from my night ride in a large Dutch city:
Now there is an aspect I can't be silent about, the Mijia recording shows more of the REAL darkness during the ride. This means that the A119S has bright recording, but can actually see MORE than the real eye.... in case of incident that might bite you in your behind, cause now you have proof of something happening that you didn't even see....!
As a matter of fact, I encountered a guy walking accross the road in between standing cars, and only at the very last moment I noticed him, and I could avoid collision, later when I reviewed ehe A119S recording, he was clearly there, but the naked eye didn't notice him as far away as the camera.... Lucky for us both we didn't really meet....
