carrying case I got mine a few days back and i am yet to try the underwater snorkeling, so far i sumerged it on my GF's fish tank and there was no leak. What is the carrying case i am suppose to get? April 18, 2013

don't waste your money This camera works fine as long as you are in a temperature controlled environment. Every time we have taken it out on the road, it will not work because it apparently is overheated. Yesterday, the high was 80 degrees! When I turned it on this morning (in the house), it once again worked just fine. An action camera that will not work if the temperature is over room temperature is of absolutely no use to us.

This DOES have Time Lapse Video! better than GoPro I've done tons of searching through comparisons and this one tops it all as regards to video quality, sound quality, user options (steadyshot is a MUST when doing sports and sony always has the best in steadyshot technology) and some people were complaining that this camera doesn't have timelapse,, but it does! Just use the Interval function and let it sit (5, 10, 30, 60 sec whichever you choose) and it'll take pics. This is where I saw people complain that it "only took pics". well, these are the pics used in making a timelapse video. unfortunately I couldn't find any of the sony software to have this editing so I used windows movie maker, dropped all the pics in sequential order and made each picture to show at 0.10 second per picture. And what do you get? Time lapse video! save as video and there you go! I put a time lapse video demonstration that I just made. Now I Really don't need to spend another couple hundred bucks just for time lapse! February 23, 2013

Firmware update needed This is not a review, but posting my points to buy this camera as a consumer's point of view. I was about to buy this camera but holding a bit now until Sony confirms of release of firmware update. My two biggest concerns are the natural color is not maintained and only vertical video recording. The sky looks pretty horrible with those overly applied blues. Sand or outdoor ground color is pretty nice on GoPro. I like the color distribution of GoPro. Also, due to the shape of ActionCam, it becomes harder to hold it on a surface. Flipping video recording would be a nice feature. The biggest disadvantage is the color distribution. This shouldn't be a problem for Sony to bring a firmware update that fixes above problems.
