Compare SJCAM C300 Pocket and C300
When comparing the action cameras SJCAM C300 Pocket and SJCAM C300, the main difference lies in the battery capacity: the C300 Pocket has a capacity of 1000 mAh with a recording time of up to 180 minutes, while the C300 has 2800 mAh and up to 680 minutes of recording time. Additionally, the C300 is equipped with a touchscreen display, which the Pocket does not have. Both devices support 4K recording and have similar characteristics in video and photo quality, including 20 megapixels and a 154° viewing angle. Otherwise, both cameras offer similar features and capabilities, such as digital stabilization and various recording modes.

Glossary
Thread 1/4" (for tripod)
The presence of a 1/4" threaded socket on the camera body. It is this size that is standard for modern tripods and is used in most of these devices. So this feature allows you to mount the camera on a tripod without using adapters and other additional equipment.
Dust-, moisture-proof of case
The degree of dust and water protection of the protective case supplied with the camera.
Protected case will save your camera from dust, water, temperature changes, shocks, etc. The specific degree of protection is indicated according to the international IP (Ingress Protection Rating) system, according to which each device is assigned a code of the form IPXX, where X is replaced by specific numbers. The first of them characterizes the protection against the penetration of foreign objects (from 0 to 6, where 0 is no protection). Usually, in boxes for action cameras, this indicator does not go below 5, because otherwise the container would have too large gaps, and its use simply would not make sense. Level 5 provides dust resistance — dust can get inside the case, but in small quantities that do not affect the device inside. Level 6 corresponds to complete imperviousness to dust.
The second digit is protection against liquid ingress (from 0 to 8, where 0 is no protection). Usually, the minimum level of protection against water is 6.
6 — protection against short-term immersion (for example, falling into a sea wave);
7 — protection against temporary immersion under water (up to 30 minutes) to a shallow depth (up to 1 metre), without continuous operation in immersed mode;
8 — protection against immersion to a depth of more than 1 metre for a time of more than 30 m, with the possibility of continuous...operation underwater. The specific level of protection of level 8 can be quite impressive — up to the possibility of diving to several tens of metres.
Note that protective cases for action cameras can be sold separately. Therefore, if the capabilities of the complete container do not suit you, there may be a more secure case on the market. On the other hand, in general, it is still more convenient to buy such an accessory immediately with a camera — so as not to waste time and effort on choosing the right protective case.

Display
— Diagonal. The larger the screen, the more convenient it is to watch (and also to control if the display is touch-sensitive). On the other hand, the diagonal of the built-in display directly affects the size of the case, and action cameras should be quite compact. Thus, there are practically no screens larger than 2.5" in modern action cameras.
— Resolution. Theoretically, the higher the resolution, the clearer and better image the screen produces. On the other hand, displays in action cameras are designed mainly for menu operation and footage preview — and for these purposes, especially high resolutions are not needed. For models with two screens, the rear display is considered the main display.
— Touch screen. Display equipped with a sensor and responsive to touch like in smartphones/tablets. Control through such a display is simpler and more intuitive than using buttons, rotary knobs, etc. On the other hand, for more or less convenient control, the touch screen must be quite large, which affects the dimensions of the entire camera.

Capacity
The capacity of the battery supplied with the action camera.
All other things being equal, a higher capacity allows the device to last longer on a single charge. However, action cameras can differ markedly in design features and, as a result, in power consumption. Therefore, only models with similar specs can be compared with each other in terms of capacity (and even then quite approximately). To assess the autonomy of the device, it is better to use data on the actual operating time on a charge (this data can be indicated by the manufacturer itself or given in reviews).

Recording time
The period during which the camera can record video on one full battery charge. The recording time directly depends on the selected resolution and frame rate - the higher they are, the faster the battery discharges. The parameter is usually recorded for specific frame resolutions - for example, up to 135 min. in Full HD (1080p) or up to 60 min. in 4K Ultra HD (2160p). Note that the recording time may be reduced in the cold and due to the use of additional functions: image stabilization system, active Wi-Fi connection, etc. Nevertheless, this indicator allows you to estimate the approximate autonomy of the action camera.
