[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 395875, member: 9169"] Are you referring to the ability to continually record and overwrite the sd card as it fills? Not sure about the 5000 but my SJ4000 WIFI does cyclic recording in 1, 5 or 10 minute loops. Once the card is full it overwrites the oldest loop as it continues to record. I wish it had the ability to "lock in" a recording with the push of a button like the Go Pro does to keep whatever loop you want from being deleted. But it doesn't. Based on the reviews I've been reading, I'd stay away from the SJ5000 for now. It seems to have some bugs they need to get worked out. I think they kind of rushed it to market with it still having some issues. But apparently there have been some firmware updates that are starting to fix them. I'm still happy with my SJ4000 wifi. No issues to complain of. I did fry it with a bad 12V car charger. I think it sent to much juice to the camera and destroyed it. It would turn on but no screen. And get really hot in about 2 minutes. I contacted the company and they sent me a brand new one. This was after having it for about 9 months. Surprised they replaced it free of charge. [/QUOTE]
