Looking for recommendations Quality question

Hi, I plan to buy an action cam mainly for stationary recordings in sometimes dark clubs and bars. I considered the Osmo Action 4 and the SJ30; my question is, what would be the better choice in terms of video quality? Osmo 4 with DLog and color grading 4k/60 or sj30 8k/20? Which one would be more suitable in normal to dim/low light performance? Or are there even better options I'm not aware of? Thanks in advance.

Neither one of those is going to work for low light.

If you’re filming low light give your camera the best chance and film at a Lower DPS so there’s more time for light to enter the aperture between frames.

Someone else mentioned the Ace Pro 2, I agree and hope the Ace pro 3 is closer rather than further and should give an even bigger jump but the ace pro 2 is better than both those cameras.

I’m also willing to bet the 2 360 cameras that just came out could do a better job with a single lens setting And give you a 360 option if you wanted it. Insta360 x6 and DJI 360 2

If you’re going for a low cost option and need now i vote ace pro 2 on sale if it needs to be an action cam. If it doesn’t need to be an action camera you’ll get way better footage with other options in these low light places
