      ​@@ardoin_337Amazon can ban them, that would be doing their job. But these shitty liar knockoff companies are all in China and other places that dgaf.
      So best case scenario Amazon and US authorities end up playing whack-a-mole as these random companies just change their name and make a new seller profile.

      When buying from Amazon, I look to see if it says SOLD and SHIPS by Amazon. Amazon being the seller, returns are more seamless. The exception is if it is sold by a reputable company or the manufacturer and not random Chinese companies.

    Quickest sign the 8k dash cam was fake: price. At $99 there's just no way its real 8k video performance, as already stated with Sony Starvis sensor pricing. Again, the most thorough of review channel on CZcams. Thank you.

    Speaking of fake resolution... Could you please review the FitCamX camera (doesn't matter what car-specific mount you will choose, they all have same camera hardware)? I know you mentioned this brand before in your other videos, but you never reviewed it personally. On their official website they claim their cams have "4k UHD resolution", but literally every sample I've seen on CZcams looks like a low-detailed mess. Not to mention lack of HDR (to be fair they don't claim that they have this) and very inaccurate colors. Would really like to see a proper, unbiased comparison to something like various current Viofo models with Starvis 2 sensor.

    My father bought a new TV a year ago, cutting-edge. Newest of the new. 8K 88 inch OLED. $30,000. Didn’t know they even made them so big and powerful.
    My Canon R5 shoots 8K photos, but maxes at 4K videos. It is also one of the best most expensive cameras on the market.
    The above is for anyone who would like to reference 8K as far as where we’re at societally with rolling it out into mainstream products. We are still very far from seeing it in common high-end technologies. Give it a decade.
    Thanks for the video Vortex. Appreciate it.

      It won’t take a decade. Prob more like ~2 to ~4 years.

    • @JaredPaideia
      @JaredPaideia Před 23 dny

      @@HansFelsh Research shows significant improvements in the human eye’s ability to recognize better image quality up to 4K. After 4K, it’s extremely slim. 8K would require not only unreasonably large file sizes, but bring about little benefit unless you’re in a professional field or own a movie theatre. Realistically, I’d put it at a decade. We can agree to disagree though.

    Vortex, quick question:
    So I’ve already narrowed down to the uniden r8 and escort redline.
    My car already has WiFi and the built in speed sign recognition feature.
    Is it worth it to just grab the redline and wait for escort to fix their cloud issues? Or just use the redline without the cloud services?
    Or should I just get the uniden r8 instead?
    Thanks in advance!

    Great video. I like you focused on car license plates legibility.
    The first signal about the fake 8K camera should be there size of the lens. Look so small are the lens on the fake 8K and compare them with the other cameras even they are lower resolution.
    Being just 25fps and not 30fps I expect the image sensor to not be even a Sony one. At the best it could be IMX335, but judging from the overall colors that is not a Sony CMOS.

    • @VortexRadar
      @VortexRadar  Před 23 dny +2

      You know what? You could be totally right. Based on the video quality, it may also not even be a 2K sensor up front either for all we know.

      Yeah part of the reason I often do freeze frames is to make it easier to see details like that, including reducing the impact of compression. Sometimes I feel like I’m getting nitpicky when I do freeze frames and zoom ins and arrows, lol, yet I often regret when I don’t spend the extra time to highlight and point out what I’m referring to because it can be easy to miss for various reasons.

      @VortexRadar  Před 22 dny +1

      I think I didn’t explain it well enough hen because you’re not the first person to say that. I’m not talking about the defroster lines. You’ll need to look closer, especially on a larger computer screen. It may be easier to notice on the split screen comparison. On a phone it’s harder to notice. The lines last for maybe a frame, and they come and go all over the frame. The defroster lines are fixed and have nothing to do with the camera, you’re right.
