Sony Action Cam Review: A Go Pro KILLER!?
We've seen cameras for extreme conditions come and go over the years but this time the market space just got interesting. In a territory that Go Pro reigns supreme, Sony looks to best them at their own game with the brand new Action Cam and despite a few design flaws, they got this one right. The Action Cam is Sony's first jab into the action camera market and with impressive battery life and video quality, this little thing packs professional performance in a small package.
Using this camera almost daily, there are plenty of advantages to having a mountable/wearable at your disposal when shooting. However to mount the Sony Action Cam it MUST be in its waterproof case or skeleton frame housing in order to position it. When it is in its case there is no way to access any of the essential ports such as the external mic jack. The one gripe for me at least comes in its design but its performance more than likely holds enough incentive to justify a purchase.
In the end, I would HIGHLY recommend the Sony Action Cam - the video quality is amazing with great colors, it has the best built-in audio of ANY camera in this space (built-in stereo mics) and it lasts 3-4 hours on a single charge. If you are looking for a mountable camera, this is definitely one you should consider. Sony is really pursuing this camera and many accessories/mounts are becoming regularly available. I'm very picky when it comes to cameras and video quality, overall, this one won me over...that takes a lot.
