What we like about Rollei Racy Full HD

  • Excellent value for money with a highly democratic price point
  • Good, fluid Full HD (1080p at 30fps) video recording quality with vivid outdoor colors
  • Extremely lightweight and compact build, making it highly portable and suitable for extreme conditions
  • Comes with a useful 2.4-inch touchscreen display for easy navigation and setting changes
  • Highly versatile, doubling effectively as a budget car DVR (dashboard camera) or a PC webcam
  • Includes a generous set of out-of-the-box accessories and a waterproof protective box (IPX8)

What we don't like about Rollei Racy Full HD

  • Disappointing and unimpressive photo/still image quality
  • Poor internal microphone audio capture and sound quality
  • Touchscreen responsiveness can sometimes feel difficult or finicky to navigate
  • The camera housing design does not stand upright securely on flat surfaces without a mount
  • Hardware limits performance in low-light environments due to a very small base sensor (1.3 MP)

Verdict

The Rollei Racy Full HD is a compact action camera and car DVR featuring a 5.0-megapixel CMOS sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and 720p at 60fps. It is equipped with a 2.4-inch LCD touchscreen, a 135° wide-angle lens, and a removable 870 mAh battery providing over 60 minutes of use. Main pros include its lightweight 72g design, versatile 'Car Mode' with automatic recording, and an included waterproof housing rated for depths up to 10 metres. However, users may find the photo quality less impressive than the video, and the touchscreen can occasionally be difficult to navigate.
