Reviews around action (5.00 of 5)

  • Combine that with its small size, and you have the potential for some great action videos
  • Great quality video, nearly-indestructible protective case, and the ability to use the MASSIVE MicroSDXC standard cards make this possibly the best action cam I've ever used (And yes, I've owned the competition's cameras).As with all sony products, the plastic on the camera itself seems a bit cheap, but the case is so sturdy it doesnt bother me like Sony headphones and other types of "hard use" products.
  • Very good product from Sony beautiful image cualiti and good price if you look for nice action
  • Live View Remote Kit is an impressive action cam for an active lifestyle
  • Please check in with this review as I plan to expand it greatly as we continue to explore the uses of this fabulous action cam Live View remote kit.

Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • The film quality is AMAZING and the sound is also very good.
  • Once set up, both of these can be "pasted" onto the footage and simply rendered without any fiddling with settings (it takes time and CPU, but that can be queued and left running).— Final Thoughts —If you're happy with 30fps and 120 degrees, SteadyShot works well in most cases and you will get great footage in XAVC-S with amazing crisp and rich sound
  • We did notice that the sound on the recordings is exceptional too.
  • Vixia Mini X has excellent sound, but the screen can't be turned off, and it's much larger and more delicate

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • The remote and the app as well as the size of the camera
  • quality-GREAT image stabilization-Very compact size-Great

Reviews around cam (4.58 of 5)

  • I wish i would have just bought another go pro cam becase its easy to use and my existing mouts will fit it
  • the only concern i have will the cam is the plastic port that covers the usb port and the hdmi port.
  • The only cam I like better is the brand the GoPro HERO 5 Black edition
  • If you enable the image stabilization (recommended if you're walking with it without a steady cam), you lose the full 170 degrees as it uses the constricted space for the stabilization
  • Great quality video, nearly-indestructible protective case, and the ability to use the MASSIVE MicroSDXC standard cards make this possibly the best action cam I've ever used (And yes, I've owned the competition's cameras).As with all sony products, the plastic on the camera itself seems a bit cheap, but the case is so sturdy it doesnt bother me like Sony headphones and other types of "hard use" products.

Reviews around sony (4.40 of 5)

  • I must recommend the Sony AKA-LU1 case to use the action cam as a regular camcorder if you are going out on a picnic or some other family event.
  • Sony looks like a miniature video camera device compared to the GoPro which looks like a little cube
  • Very good product from Sony beautiful image cualiti and good price if you look for nice action
  • Back means Back, and I'll use it when I'm good and ready, Sony!Issues aside, this camera shoots amazing quality video.
  • I'm led to believe that Sony may have artificially lowered their price to break into the GoPro competition, and now their price is back where it should be

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • You won't be disappointed, quality product at a fair price
  • I'm led to believe that Sony may have artificially lowered their price to break into the GoPro competition, and now their price is back where it should be
  • Pros: great video quality, great image stabilization, and great price!Cons: the provided USB cable is crap (see attached)
  • The battery lasts one full day filming myself skiing (when you stop recording it turns off automatically and when you press the recording button again it turns on and starts recording).The image quality is exellent and the image stabilitzation is way better than in gopro's (the down part is that the viewing angle reduces to about 120° or 130°).I love it, great cam at great price!

Reviews around thing (4.16 of 5)

  • The app still has some quirks, but it's better than the wrist viewer.-------So far, things aren't looking so good for the Sony
  • How are we supposed to use that and have the camera be stable or secure?Third, and this is the most annoying thing ever to me
  • Good thing i had my original hero camera becuase when i picked up the
  • Another good thing... if you invested in a bunch of parts such as mounts for your AS100 and need to replace it, the AS200 can use everything you had for the AS100.If you are buying your first action cam and don't want 4
  • If you're wondering between this and a GoPro, there are a few things to consider as well.----------- Form Factor

Reviews around video (4.07 of 5)

  • What I have learned over time is that no matter how sharp the image, a shaky video is unusable for production
  • Image quality is great both video and photo shoot, audio is average
  • Back means Back, and I'll use it when I'm good and ready, Sony!Issues aside, this camera shoots amazing quality video.
  • This camera has amazing video (and audio when it is outside of the waterproof case).
  • The Slow Motion video is really good as well, however, those menus make it harder than it should be

Reviews around gopro (4.03 of 5)

  • It is better than a GoPro in my opinion and it has better low light function
  • This sony camera and the buttons/menus/apps aren't even half as good as the gopro
  • Due to its shape and orientation, it's not as handy for strapping onto your body as a GoPro, but for everything else, it seems to be better.
  • So anyone thats trying to argue that a GoPro is better in picture quality is ignorant and full of it
  • I chose this over a more expensive GoPro for the fact it has Stabilization built into it.

Reviews around case (3.86 of 5)

  • Great quality video, nearly-indestructible protective case, and the ability to use the MASSIVE MicroSDXC standard cards make this possibly the best action cam I've ever used (And yes, I've owned the competition's cameras).As with all sony products, the plastic on the camera itself seems a bit cheap, but the case is so sturdy it doesnt bother me like Sony headphones and other types of "hard use" products.
  • Waterproof CasingThe waterproof casing is very solid and was tested to be indeed waterproof.
  • You CANNOT get to them with the hard case on
  • Indeed, this plastic box is just about as tough and capable of withstanding abuse as the protective clear case that Sony provides with this camera for underwater use.
  • I must recommend the Sony AKA-LU1 case to use the action cam as a regular camcorder if you are going out on a picnic or some other family event.

Reviews around motion (1.44 of 5)

  • It does everything I want, including 1080P video at 60FPS and 720P at 120FPS for smooth slow motion, a choice between vivid and neutral colors (I prefer neutral for more editing flexibility), and image stabilization
  • The options between the video types and slow motion are also not very clear
  • It can function as a point and click camera, slow motion mode or as a conventional camcorder without a zoom capability.
  • The Slow Motion video is really good as well, however, those menus make it harder than it should be
