    • LOL Actually no, was going through reduced to clear section

    Older AS100vr version of the sony. Good price nonetheless.

    the LVRC might come in handy at times.
    But for the price you could get 3 Xiaoyi cameras.
    Basically same specs, 1080p60
    Don't know about the data rate of the Sony but my
    Xiaoyi does 1080p60@35Mbps
    At that taxing rate battery lasts about 55-60 minutes.
    'tis small too.

      No way the same specs, not even close. This one does the XAVC S codec, which means 1080p/60 at 50mbps and also up to 240 frames in sub-HD. Then there's the miscellaneous features like GPS and splash resistance without case.

      The Xiaomi would only be a choice if you want a single budget camera, or you really absolutely need 3 cameras within the budget of this.

  • The Sony as100 was cheaper last year with the trade in or cash back can't remember..

  • No deal in Sony cam. Other store has it for $299. Anyone need link?

        Please cut and paste.

        • Thanks. More expensive than Click&Collect from DSE.

          DSE: $304 c&c

          Grays: $308.95 ($299 + $9.95 delivery)

        • Reconditioned product, grays is like a refurbished site

        • @TRENT86: Ah ok. They do state it has 12 Months Manufacturers Warranty.

        • @Thrift: I would still go a new one over one sent back to Manufacturer

        • @TRENT86: I'm intrigued by the AEE S71 for $254. Waterproof to 100m, comparable shooting modes to GoPro3+ Black. Decent reviews.

        • @Thrift: Yeah good price also :) Guess you need to weigh the pros and cons of both, does the live view remote control weigh in favour and so on :)

  • It's the steadyshot feature that really makes the sony line of action cams a step above anything else, including gopro's. (Not sure if the latest gopro has this kind of feature though).

    Basically there is often vertical banding and jumping in gopro's (see it often in motoring/biking footage), where as the sony comes with steadyshot, means you see none of that in the footage, and it smooths out most of the shaking as well.

    • Yes, image stabilisation is one feature GoPro should strongly consider adding into their future models.

      • the most important "feature" GoPro should condider is to drop their prices.

        • Haha, yes that too.

  • It's a good camera, I won one in a compo last year.
    Standout feature is wifi, you can use the play memories app to live stream from the camera as the camera acts as a hotspot.
    The slo mo Modes are good.

    The wristwatch monitor thing is just crap, Sellotape an iPhone to your wrist instead

  • What is this like compared to gopro hero

    • +1

      Have a look on YouTube, there are a lot of comparisons against the various GoPro models and reviews showing the performance in a variety of conditions.

  • +2

    Amazing price for this camera. Ozbargain it right now! I have one and it's damn near flawless. Onboard stabilization is incredibly well done.
    Underwater though requires a dive housing/flat door; the case that comes with this has a dome which prevents underwater focus.

  • I have one. It's a fantastic camera. The live view remote is great.
