Awesome.It was delivered within 3 days.The product is very good.The video clarity is almost unbelievable. If you planning to buy,don't think much and buy this.it is a superb product

Had this camera only for a short time but can say with comfort that it's a amazing piece of kit. I use as a dash cam in my car and also at use on a selfish stick at my sons party.

Bought this in preparation to go to Florida next year, was going to buy a GoPro but reading reviews this camera came out top. Glad I did as camera is easy to use, has great accessories (the underwater housing will come particularly handy when swimming with the dolphins).

I guessed I can rely all the time on Sony product, even I have a hard time on learning how to used it.

Good camera

I love the new case, the ability to control the menu without taking it out of the case is huge. The new video options (4k and higher frame rate) are nice too, but as far as video quality it may be better, I didn't do a side by side, but it is not significantly better than several versions back.

- get the correct memory card to run this camera for 4K - needs a cradle to turn into a handy-cam with display (SONY if you're listening) - it is harder to live with than the GoPro4 B (hard to explain why, but that's why you should get this, as its off the norm) - it is sleeker than the GoPro4 B,...

sleek design - stereo audio with noise reduction - image stabilization is smooth - great optics (1080p and 4K better quality than GoPro4 B - affordable price - flexible file formats (better than GoPro4 B - good battery life - great alternative if you HATE GoPro4 Black - love the play memories app...

- flimsy backdoor (its gonna break over time; opening and closing to access the charging port) - cheap and plastic construction - fish-eye 4K in 60Hz video (normal 1080p in 60Hz - high temperature sensitivity for an action cam (overheating fast when ambient temp increases) - device doesn't always...
