About a week ago we reviewed the fantastic HAMSWAN F60 Waterproof Action Camera. We were very thorough and concluded that this action cam was basically perfect in every way. HAMSWAN have very kindly offered our readers the chance to win a camera of their very own! All you have to do is enter via the form at the bottom of this article. They’re even giving you the lucky winner a choice of a HAMSWAN F68 or F60.
This camera was always going to be compared to the Go Pro and realistically the comparisons make sense. With full 1080P HD, 12MP stills, WiFi, a super wide lens and performance up to 30m underwater it’s fair to make comparisons.
Picture Quality
The real question I hear you ask is “what is the picture like?” Well, it’s pretty incredible. Features include an anti shake mode, sound only recording, slow motion, time lapse, self timer, battery saver mode as well as adjustable exposure. It can even be used as a dash cam with the appropriate mounts, GoPro compatible mounts will also work with this camera.
I’m super impressed with the quality of video it shoots. It is certainly crisp, clear, bright and detailed. I had the opportunity to shoot some side by side footage with a GoPro 3 and the quality from this camera was superior in every aspect. Incredible but true. There are only four buttons on the camera so it’s also pretty idiot proof! This action camera is great and such good value for money. Everything needed comes in the box (excluding memory card). Plenty of accessories are included for nearly every scenario you can imagine. Accessories can be combined together as they are quite universal.
Features
It really is very simple to use and produces exceptional quality video. It has a 170-degree wide angle lens which is great for capturing all the action. The full HD videos are clear and sharp. The battery is also removable and one spare is even included. It takes about 3 hours to charge a battery and from that you’ll get about 50-70 minutes recording time.
It has an intuitive menu system giving you full control over everything like the self-timer, record looping and exposure compensation. The Wi-Fi facility works well allowing you to control the camera from your smart phone. The protection rating of the case means it is waterproof up to 30 metres. I really like the way the screen will go into screen saver mode to save battery life when filming. The camera has built in Wi-Fi which allows you to use an App on your phone to control the camera.
In my opinion this is most definitely the best mid range action camera of 2017. So if you are on a tight budget and thinking of buying a Mid Range Action Camera, then I would suggest you go for the Hamswan F60.

Great how you can connect it straight to the TV!
Looks like a great alternative to the Go-Pro. The waterproof feature would be a definite bonus in the lovely (but very rainy) Peak District.
It’s a shame the waterproof case isn’t waterproof but if I was lucky enough to win I’d buy a more expensive case that would make it waterproof xXx

It’s been reduced to £49.99 on Amazon – bargain!
Would love to win this to take to Center Parcs next year ! Fingers crossed ! Thanks 🙂
picture quality looks great
What’s “2 x 3M Adhesive Ape” ? – Is it the same as Gorilla Glue? lol
Even though it’s waterproof, I’d still be worried about getting it wet!
The Anti-slide body design sounds useful! The amount of times I’ve nearly dropped my camera…..
That looks fab to take on holiday
The motion detector means you could use it as a security camera, I presume!
fab prize thankyou
would be great for underwater
Having a spare battery would come in very handy!
Love that it has a motion detector !
Would love to put this on my 7 year old for the day and see what she manages to film !
Could also put it on the dog when we’re out down the beach for the day, sure that would capture some brilliant footage !
Would be brilliant to film us going through the rapid river in Center Parcs !
Sorry I put in the Gleam box that I commented under the name Jane Davies instead of my username (dilydaly87) !
Going snorkelling with it would be fantastic ! It would be a first waterproof camera for me though so not sure I”d be thrilled about putting it in the sea ! 😀
oooooooh my eldest would love to put this the the test!
Love the idea of capturing memories but being able to live them at the same time, hate watching life through a camera lens but you want to capture things obviously, so being hands free will be brilliant !
Great prize, would love this
An utterly awesome gadget, so indispensable for catching those special moments. I’d give itt to my older brother so he could record his speed and stunt moves when out mountain biking 🙂
Life at the beach is so much more active than the simple rockpooling of my youth , this would be fantastic to capture those more fast paced adventures as well as the simple pleasures we still enjoy .
The quality of the video is great! I’ve been thinking about getting n action cam for a while, we’ve been to so many places I’d love to have had videos of.
what a great camera!!!
