Medion Life S47018 Test: Action cam good price, good eye

A little more than a hundred euros, this action Medion Life S47018 camera certainly does not inspire confidence. Think again. After being tested, I tell you the deal is good.
The action cam Medion Life S47018, yes, do not look. While plastic. She is "cheap" even. Light with 120 g, it seems to have been deprived of the minimum. Thus, she did not even cache to isolate its micro SD memory card (whose capacity can however reach 32 GB) ... Its LCD screen is tiny, but also that of GoPro. On, the screen remains sufficiently legible.
In fact, the little beast hides her game. She has as standard a set of multiple and interesting accessories. Indeed, it comes with a sealed housing up to 60 m under water (better than the last action cam GoPro Hero Black 4, limited to 40 m). To be honest with you, I have not had the opportunity to test this depth during the test period.
he manufacturer also provided in the pack as a WiFi remote strap: it has two buttons, one to turn on the video, one for taking pictures. To this is added including a bicycle carrier, the adhesive supports for flat and curved surfaces, a cap for the lens and the lid of the box for the above water records. For it is a plus, the Medion Life S47018 has a mini jack for microphone input. And there is also a mini HDMI. Okay, so, again, all this for a hundred euros. While some elements, like the bike mount which can rotate the camera laterally, can be improved, but all interesting!
On the ground
handling of this action Medion Life S47018 cam via its own buttons is relatively easy. But it is above shows the remote control that makes use of Life S47018 practice. I did the test bike and it worked well. Taking pictures can be made ​​frame or burst, and according to pre-set the camera settings. For cons, I tried to use the dedicated application to control the Medion Life S47018: all those for cams action I've tested, is perhaps the most basic and the least practical. I think you will get away with the buttons on the camera or watch.
1/Video Quality
This is probably the best surprise of this action Medion Life S47018 camera: the quality of video images. It is quilted and well mixed. It was difficult to accept the price of the device as the quality is generally good. Then, of course, the Full HD throughput is constrained at 30 frames / sec (where other camera go at least twice as fast). But for many actions, for most individuals in any case, it should go, in my opinion. 
A little useful information to understand a little the good results: the Medion Life S47018 is supplied by the processing circuits manufacturer Ambarella video, the same supplier GoPro ...
2/Autonomy
In continuous recording, you should, as in my test, to reach about two hours.
