Sony cam in the hero 4 session form factor would be a win

Mark - I live in the UK, but am going on a trip to New Zealand, Australia and the Fiji islands for some diving. I started preparing for this trip a year or so ago and subscribed to your channel about the same time. At that point, I didn't have a clue about action cams. Your videos have been exemplary and have given me an in depth understanding of the whole topic. Your videos have the professional edge that a lot of others lack. Great job! Anyway, after months of faffing I've decided to go with the Hero 4 silver for my trip. Congratulations on the engagement by the way.

Finally someone isn't giving a biased review based on action cameras. Every video I have watched before this is over-glorifying the GoPro.

FYI I have used both GoPro black and sony 1000 (both 4k) and love them both. Nevertheless I would say if you are into extreme sports (white water rafting, free diving, etc) go with the gopro! If you are into motor sports or DH biking go with the Sony.

Good overall summary and review of the best 2015 action cam choices. Thanks, and looking forward to your 2016 reviews. First big announcement event is Jan 5 in Vegas, when Sony is set to showcase their new cameras. And maybe Gopro, too. 4K at 60 FPS, here we come. I have my 4K Smart TV now, so am ready...

Can you do a video on the best action cameras of 2017/2018? A lot of new stuff since this video was made

[dkNian]

Hi there. Thanks for the video. Yesterday i just get my xiaomi yi and updated the firmware. now its capable of recording 2k at 30fps

[karamba]

What do you think about Xiaomi YI 4k vs GoPro Hero 4 Silver ? What is better ?

[TheVigyanShow]

Will any Sony camera be good for moto and travel vlogging, or i should go for GoPro??

[Mixmastervidz]

Thank you for making this video. Very informative and good research :)

[JeffNoel]

I've always been a GoPro guy, but for motovlogging + ATV heavy mudding, I'm starting to consider the Garmin Virb XE or the Sony models (stabilization + night capabilities). I'm thinking about getting the AS200V. Am I on the right track or would you consider another model?

this was one of the best review videos on here

[tomegtl]

Great video🤗, good luck man your a good creator

[xSpecterx]

great video! That is a hell of a lot of information to compress into under 15 minutes. well done. No doubt anyone looking to buy an action camera should watch this first.

[FreeHumanDon]

I really dig the SJ8000 for the price and it has a Sony Exmor sensor, which is why I purchased it. I kept hearing about the yellowish colors on most of the othere generic gopro knock offs. But since it has that Sony sensor. Colors look fantastic!

[xaviermicu]

hey. I'm a "action camera noob". i like to ride my bike (bicycle) around in my busy city. I'm looking to buy 1, and it will be my first one. can you suggest a certain brand&model for me? I'm currently looking at a EKEN A9, its like 90$ where i live. Thanks :)

[balilaavihay]

amazing review.one of the best i heard...i am actually looking for an action camera for shooting mostly gym crossfit workouts, and whenever i travel, but mostly gym...from your review and as i suspected the gopro hero 4 is the best and expensive...would you recommend something else for my use?
