I love my mini. Take great videos. In par with Gopros but the audio is far superior.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Reliable.
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: nfinit100
For the last several years, I have been using POV camera's. I have recently been converted to an ActionCam fan because of the reliability of the product. I have used the GoPro (hero 2, 3+, etc) for much of the filming we do. I had been looking at the ActionCam for it's profile, and once the mini came out, it was perfect to toss in with all the backcountry gear.
This winter, the gopro has been shelved. The gopro takes excellent quality video, but the software is constantly causing issues. The camera, with a fully charged battery, will shut down 10 seconds into recording, it will automatically stop recording. I have dealt with their customer service for hours on end and I am through with it. The actioncam does exactly what I am looking for, it records the video I want in excellent quality. It does this reliably. This isn't a movie where you get 30 chances to redo the same shot. I need the camera to work as stated each and every time. I can deal with battery life reduction on the mini.
So the ActionCam is now my go to POV camera, it has a great image, but it works when it matters. So thank you Sony for developing a reliable product. Now let's just a few more mounting options...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Missing GoPro - (But not really...)
on April 17, 2015
Posted by: Anonymous
I let my teenage son take my GoPro 3 Black to Austin, TX for a regatta. Over the course of the weekend it was either stolen or lost.
I was very frustrated with him for losing my camera and was dreading the thought of having to shell out $350+ to replace it.
So I spent some time researching options out there. I took a flyer and purchased the Sony Action Cam. I was skeptical but tried to keep an open mind.
Well I am to the point where I am not really missing my GoPro now. The picture quality is amazing. I love the smaller size. The mount setup is so much better than the GP (I love that it takes a threaded mount). The software works flawlessly. Remote control via my iPhone is as good or better than the GP.
I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat over a GP. Thank you Sony. My son just might survive my wrath during the teen years. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

No under water lens
on April 21, 2015
Posted by: Reykooks
I purchased this camera thinking that Sony will also release an accessory like the lens for under water soon after they released it, but sad to say that up until now there's nothing, and I think they dont have any plan of producing one. Very disappointing because using the camera under water wont provide you a good video.
I take a lot of underwater videos, that was the reason why I decided to buy this cam.
