For the recording, the Sony camera has a stereo microphone. Playback on the device itself via mono speaker.
The camera has an image stabilizer and in contrast to the AS 15 model is also WiFi (wireless network connection / IEEE 802.11b / g / n 2.4 GHz) integrated. The anti-shake performance is good, but it reduces the viewing angle from 170 degrees to 120 degrees. But that's not so bad, because you do up close in action shots and the audience is on live screen with the action here. If you want to use them regularly, works with tripod and full 170 degrees.
When I look at the prices of competitors from Sony, the price / performance ratio is unbeatable.
Quality and workmanship are typical Sony very good, although Sony now Made in China and Made in Japan is no longer.
The battery is charged via USB. A battery charger is not included. Therefore, you should still add purchase an additional charger for the power outlet.
Sony AC-UD10 USB charger (5V / 1500mA) for Cyber-shot and Handycam
However, I have not picked up the Sony device, but at a cheaper model:
Inateck 12W 5V 2.4A 1-Port USB Travel Charger Adapter with USB charger plug intelligent charging circuit for Apple & Android smartphones, tablets, and other USB devices loaded EU Plug - White
It is also recommended for travel a replacement battery:
Sony NP-BX1 Li-Ion battery (Type X, 3.6V, 1240mAh) for Cyber-shot
Certainly, there are also favorable batteries, but here I always grab only genuine batteries to risks to go out of the way. After batteries are cheap to me expired time in an expensive device, the theme is for me through.
For Camera Micro Secure Digital cards are provided. This must be formatted in exFAT. Whoever comes up with the idea to format it to NTFS needs, should not be surprised if the card is not working. ExFAT was designed by Microsoft specifically for flash memory.
The camera can be operated for 30 minutes at a water depth of up to 5 meters. For divers rather uninteresting, but for Otto average tourists like me who goes snorkeling times, ideal. For divers, there is still another case, which is to hold tight to 60m:
Sony SPK-AS1 Waterproof Case for Action Cam
The Action Cam is ideal for various uses. I will use them for bike tours and bike. They can be flexibly mounted on helmet, suit, arm, arm or behind the windscreen. It is also perfectly suited to travel. The fact that it is tiny, it can be stowed anywhere. If you have a large camcorder in baggage, tendency to date to take him not everywhere. In the Action Cam is different. Just to make completely new kind of films, both on land and underwater wakes wanting more. The camera weighs only 83g with battery!

To be able at all to exploit the full term in HQ-image quality, you should use at least a 32 GB card and let the battery in the first charging cycle without interruption.

Certainly, there are also low-cost cards from other manufacturers, compare worthwhile. However, I only buy cards from well known brands. With inexpensive cards last holiday pictures had gone with me and also could not be restored with Recuva and Co..
The video quality is good to very good in bright light or sunlight. Who is filming in bad weather, must make concessions, but this is also normal in this price range.
I find this product unique and awesome. It is very nice that the industry picks up new trends and bring out also for individuals products that you would not have thought possible affordable ago.
