Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • The affordable price, wonderful design and incredible features make it the best action camera available on market
  • I bought this during a black friday price discount and glad I did.
  • Bought it mainly because of high bitrate XAVC S codec and good price
  • Good camera at a good price (still has a way to go but its rapidly getting there)
  • I believe this camera is the real deal for anyone who needs a video recording device for the affordable price.

Reviews around cam (4.74 of 5)

  • This little camera is a great little action cam and I'm very satisfied with it.
  • The footage is shaky and rough, even with stabilization enabled, so if you're easily sickened by shaky-cam footage (like in Cloverfield) you may want to prepare yourself
  • Awesome action cam, great quality vide and perfect compact size
  • it is the best action cam that is out there!Best quality movies and pictures
  • This is a great action cam and is better than its predecessor and any of the GoPro products in many ways

Reviews around feature (4.45 of 5)

  • The outdoor video is excellent, and I enjoy the slow motion feature
  • Perhaps the best feature of this camera is it's steady shot implementation
  • Another nice feature is that you can charge both the camera and the remote with any standard microUSB phone charger (blackberry and android
  • So I hoped the Steady Shot feature on this camera would solve that problem.
  • GPS overlay is a nice feature, but it does NOT work using the PRO recording mode

Reviews around thing (4.33 of 5)

  • Sound is muffled with the waterproof case in place, that can be a good thing for wind noise
  • This thing falls short in the very areas I need it most
  • One of the best things is its compartable with all of my old accessories from my AS30, batteries brackets, cases etc.
  • Despite all, all of those good things you can read on the internet
  • A 648cc thumper killed this thing in under ~120 miles from vibration alone.

Reviews around color (4.33 of 5)

  • Footage is sharp and clear, with strong colors (mine is set to Vivid)
  • Slightly less blurry and better color, but still extremely disappointing
  • it starts loosing color fast, and it would be really good to have a red
  • The colors (at shallow depths >7m) is very realistic and vibrant
  • I found the "Pro" setting made video look sharper and have more accurate and rich colors

  • Great product!!!After a long road, looking for the optimal action camera for me, i've found this one
  • Good Product, but the cover is very sensitive for shocks
  • Worst product I've purchased ever
  • great product unless you are a fan of gopro and want to do like the rest - not

Reviews around video quality (4.18 of 5)

  • That made the video quality look very poor, and nothing like other 1080p videos I have seen or taken with other cameras.
  • Love the 60fps, great video quality... but always fish-eyed
  • Stills are great, video quality is excellent for low light situations
  • The video quality in the "Pro" mode is especially impressive because there are no compression
  • The video quality is great, and the features equally good.

Reviews around image (4.13 of 5)

  • Cheaper than a go pro and has a better image and features
  • So the pros are better image quality than the Drift Innovation Ghost and Contour cameras
  • WHY would they ship it with an underwater case that cannot shoot in focus?Sony expects the customer to find out that the camera produces unacceptable picture quality when used underwater, not be upset by getting duped, and then PURCHASE a door or new non defective case that does not produce blurry images
  • The housing provided with the kit (spk-as2) as the one I bought extra (spk-as1) cannot record underwater (ONLY blurry images, because of the door design)
  • No possibility to set 120 degree FOV without enabling image stabilisation that ruins the image quality

Reviews around sony (3.64 of 5)

  • Obviously, Sony sabotaged the app so that we'd be forced to spend another $150 for their live-view wireless remote.
  • If you think about it, Sony has been making stabilized cameras for years and years.
  • I have been using them for a few years now and to be honest, this little Sony is the best for my money
  • Also the quality is wonderful, the only disadvantage is that you are required to free Sony software to download videos and edit it on the computer
  • I will punish SONY by not buying anything else from this company for the rest of my life

Reviews around record (2.12 of 5)

  • This is not a problem if your videos don't exceed the 4 GB limit of FAT32.I did notice that this unit gets very hot when recording - and that's just in my house on a cool evening
  • , so far, low light or darkness recording doesn't pickup any red and white confetti you see in most cameras, virtually no noise in these tests
  • The as100 splits the recording into 3 files due to the 4 Gig limit of my SDHC card (FAT32)
  • Also, the hiking videos are very poor quality (recorded in 1080p)...absolutely terrible
  • Anyway, producto works flawlessly, hope it keeps working :D

Reviews around ride (2.12 of 5)

  • Paired with Sony's Steady Shot technology even extremely bumpy rides are completely watchable.(+
  • The image stabilization on this camera is incredible, this feature takes the edge off regular walking and riding shakiness, and can salvage even very bumpy rides.
  • While riding, it is nearly impossible to know for sure if you are recording or not
  • The wide lens, and the perceptible stretching of the image toward the edges made watching a video of a moderately aggressive ride impossible to watch.
  • With steady shot on, my rides look like I am riding on silky smooth steel railing

Reviews around wind noise (1.78 of 5)

  • Sound is muffled with the waterproof case in place, that can be a good thing for wind noise
  • Anyway, producto works flawlessly, hope it keeps working :D
  • I used to get terrible wind noise, which is why I used an external mic on other action cams.
  • I planned to use an external mic to allow me to place the mic in a location to avoid wind noise.
  • This Sony does have some wind noise but very little in my opinion but what it does have is great audio!The

Reviews around time (1.69 of 5)

  • I also purchased the remote control which I have a hard time with ability to view anything outside in daylight... buying another camera so I can film multiple video directions... also the wide angle is incredible and you can't go wrong with Carl Ziess lens
  • The sony playmemories program cannot be used to combine those images to create a time-lapsed movie
  • When going on tree-covered roads, it had a hard time adjusting to the shadows.
  • First time of owning a action cam so after doing all my research I decided this was the best buy for the price and quality of footage was much better than any go pro out there
  • I am having a great time with it

Reviews around motion (1.00 of 5)

  • The camera has a number of settings that may be of value to some more adventurous and creative users, such as super slow motion video, or XAVCS for the highest quality footage possible, which also requires a micro SDXC card that records at higher than 50MB/s
  • Even if you can find a mount (I haven't been able to find one), the camera is going to wiggle and wave back and forth, increasing the amount of unwanted motion
  • As it is both of them have the full option of shooting at full high def 1080 at 60 frames per second; something that is necessary if you are going to take advantage of the excitement of slow motion in your video editing
  • The outdoor video is excellent, and I enjoy the slow motion feature
  • Quite literally, within 30 seconds, I was motion sick in a pretty big way.
