Love my Sony Action Cam Just wanted to throw my two cents in on my Sony Action Cam HDR AS-10, I love this camera, easy to hold in your hand and film, easy to mount onto different things, hoping to get the handle bar mount for my bike soon, check out my video on YouTube Kings Island's "The Beast" roller coaster, it is known for being a rough ride but the steady shot took a great video all the way through. http://youtu.be/aCIpEf9DptM June 6, 2013
Sweet Action Camera - HDR-AS15 The camera size (small), with built-in Wireless WiFi for live video monitoring during recording, transfer to smart phone and computers without cabling is very nice. Synced nicely to my Sony tablet S and was able to remotely view what I was shooting. Mostly though I attach the camera to my bicycle or carry it it my hand. Sony is coming out with a wrist attachment and a skeleton which will be awesome for hands free point and shoot. They are adding additional accessories as well which shows that Sony is committed to this product line. Also I just upgraded my firmware yesterday to 2.0 (through Playmemories. (it is on Sony e-support site as well). The firmware: 1) Adds the "PS" recording mode (1080/60p) Available for shooting smooth images in fast moving scenes using HFR (High Frame Rate) shooting 2) Adds the "WATER" mode scene selection Set to WATER mode for a suitable WB (White Balance) setting during underwater shooting 3) Adds the "BEEP" setting to enable the capability to turn off the beep sound Use this new menu selection to configure the beep sounds to one of the following available settings: - Both Rec and Setting beep on -Rec beep on and Setting beep off -Both Rec and Setting beep off April 28, 2013
My favorite POV I have a GoPro Hero2 and a Sony Action Cam. I honestly can't get rid of either of them because I love some of the features exclusive to each. First off, I bought this camera along with the door replacements. I have a flat lens underwater option, an option that allows for better sound by having holes in the case where the speakers are (not waterproof at all!) and I have the original lens. I used the underwater lens on a cruise where I spent most of the time snorkeling and playing at the water park with my kids. Amazing images and no distortion underwater. Great for this application! I use the stereo door for filming everything else unless I expect to be in crazy weather or intense dust/snow/etc. My wife uses this door for Youtube videos and loves it. I use the standard door for filming gymnastics POV, biking, skiing (water and snow) etc. There are only two things (maybe three) that I would LOVE to see with this camera. 1) Once I'm out in the field, I never want to take it out of the case. I would love a way to change between 120fps and 1080p and time lapse without taking the camera out of its case. This is partially remedied by the wifi app which is amazing and I love it...however, I want to turn the wifi off after i set it so that the battery lasts longer. If there were a way I could double tap the record button and it would toggle the wifi, I'd be totally happy with that! 2) I have to use my gopro when I go hunting. This one beeps and scares the animals. There is no way to turn off the sound, and to be honest, I'd rather get rid of my gopro and just use this camera, but the beeping is just plain unacceptable for hunting. 3) This has the least priority in my book, but the shape of the gopro allows for a centered chest mount. I wish the Sony Action Cam could do this as well. Not sure if there are any options out there for chest mounting, but I haven't found any. For all that I do, i would much rather lose that option and gain the standard tripod screw mount that the Sony has if push comes to shove. Proprietary plastic gopro mounts that break and cost way to much to replace are stupid. Sony definitely wins this battle. If all three of those happened, I'd sell my gopro and buy another Action Cam (maybe 2!) April 15, 2013
Flat Lens Door Needs Improvement waterproof cover flat lens, the light affecting the results of the image under water.....Any idea how ? Check this video on Youtube and maybe learns something about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1YSNk6kbN4 March 30, 2013
