Awesome product. Very haply with the price

Purchase it for my ATV riding. Very happy with the price tag as well. Works very good, picture and sound as good as it can get on small recorder as this.

A good alternative to the GoPro 3/3+

Always wanted a GoPro and was on the cusp of purchasing one when I stumbled upon this Sony family of action cameras. So far the AS30V is proving a great choice with the functional image stabilization, better color rendition/saturation (albeit, no RAW mode like the 3+ Black).

Accessories Aplenty; Durable; Easy To Use; Lightweight; Produces High Quality Film

Finicky Wifi Remote; No Raw Video Mode

After reading about multiple problems with the GoPro Hero 3 camera, I looked to find a better alternative. Watched videos and read reviews on the Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V. GPS function that shows where you were, how fast you're going and distance traveled. Simple instructions and functions.

Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V

Sony's first action camera was a bold move for the company, dipping into a space dominated by two big players: GoPro and Contour. A year on, and with one competitor leaving the market altogether (Contour), the action and sports camera market is slimming down.

Effective image stabilisation; Simple operation; Good still image quality

Video quality isn't as good as the GoPro; Lens sharpness drops off towards the sides of the frame

Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V pictures and hands on

Adding to Sony's line-up is the Action Cam HDR-AS30V, providing a wearable video camera for capturing any adventures you fancy taking. It comes packed with features including GPS, Wi-Fi and NFC, but first up is its waterproof casing.
