Sony FDR-X3000

 

The Sony FDR-X3000 action cam records optically stabilized 4K footage, but it's not as easy to use or squeeze into small places as a GoPro.

4K recording with optical stabilization. 100Mbps XAVC S compression. In-body tripod mount. Protected from dust and splashes without case. Includes waterproof case. Standard mic input. Wi-Fi.

Hands-on with the new Sony FDR-X3000 4K Action Cam

 

Should you get a dedicated action camera to record your exploits and holidays? This little 4K action camera by Sony should tempt you enough to ditch your smartphone camera for better footage.

Do not get G o P r o !!! SONY all the way!

 

This is a great small camera, which has so many additional items inclusive. I needed a cam for diving and this camera already comes with a case to dive down to 60m! G o p r o you need to purchase separately. The image stabilization is what kills the...
