I see they have a 4k model out now. Another top rated camera was the SJ4000 ones. I would suggest not wasting your money on the $50 cameras and do a little comparison research.

I record all my videos on the Yi. Video quality is acceptable, but my big gripe is the ridiculous amount of static noise I get while recording. I partially resolved that by taping an area of the camera where the static transmits. As far as the camera goes it's the best bang for your buck. $65 for 1080p? No complaints here.
