sony action cam sample vid

Avatar

The dudes over at sportscamera have got themselves a sony action cam to test.

Made this vid with it. A lot of it shot at 720, 120fps.

Thought ewes might be interested to see what their stuff looks like!

Thanks cords an interesting vid, they sure loved the slow motion!

Not as blown away by the PQ as I was with the GP3 but that could also be skewed by the high budget production.

Certainly going to be an interesting year coming up for action cams. Competition is good!

yeah I’m by no means advocating choosing this over anything in particular, I’d love a Gopro Black, myself - just knew some people had shown interest in what this cam was like so thought I’d post up what I’d seen about it.

I would pref to judge them on smaller scale than big budget as I will never achieve what GoPro do!

^ That’s a good review.
The only trump card for sony is 720@120fps (same as GP3black). Otherwise not a highly recommended cam.

Looks great next to Contour+
