Sony Takes on GoPro With New 'Action Cam'

Sony is taking on GoPro with the Wednesday launch of its new Action Cam (HDR-AS30V), a portable camcorder designed to brave even the most treacherous situations.
A follow-up to its previous Action Cam model, the new camcorder is 35% lighter and 25% smaller than its predecessor. Weighing in at 3 ounces, the pint-sized device is designed to be strapped to the top of your helmet, front of your surfboard or handlebars of your motorcycle.

The Action Cam can record Full HD (1920x1080 60p/50p) video, as well as take 11.9-megapixel still shots while you’re on the move. Built-in Wi-Fi gives you the ability to share those videos via smartphone, then upload them to social media.
The camera can also be controlled using your smartphone or a new Live-View remote, which looks more like a watch than a remote control. Strapped to your wrist, the waterproof controller can help frame your shot when you’ve mounted your camera in a hard-to-reach place, and can start and stop recording as well as take photos.

The camcorder captures a 170-degree field-of-view and has a new “two-screen multi view,” where you can easily pair shots from two different Action Cams into the same final video, for sharing with friends.
A “Movie Rotate” feature also makes it easy to rotate a video right-side-up, and with GPS functionality users can overlay a map of their journey over the final masterpiece.

Sony has a number of different mounts for the camcorder, including a chest mount harness, roll bar mount and, yes, even a mount for your dog.
The HDR-AS30V will be available late September for $299.99. With its release Sony’s current Action Cam, the HDR-AS15, will drop in price to $199.99. The Live-View remote will be available December for $149.
