The editors didn't like
Only wideangle shooting for 4K video
Monochrome information LCD only
Underwhelming still image quality
Limited battery life
Image quality can distort when in proximity of vibrating motors and engines
Waterproof housing included, B.O.SS image stabilization tech impresses, Remote monitoring, Useful 3x digital zoom for close-up shots, Tripod thread, Plenty of accessories
High price, Live View Remote drop-outs common, 3x zoom lacks autofocus, Soft still images, Short battery life
The FDR-X3000R is a fine action cam; small, hugely capable and fully featured. However, it's also hugely expensive, and overkill for most users. The chief problem is the live view remote, which adds to the cost of the FDR-X3000R package considerably, but...

The Sony FDR-X3000R Action Cam, to us, beats the latest GoPro in a few ways. For one, Sony's OIS is such a pleasure to have on a sports camera like this. It is indeed better than the Hero5 Black's image stabilization and that will really be the case since...
Abstract: Today, the Sony folks brought their ultra-compact 4K-shooting action camera – the FDR-X3000 – to showcase its capabilities and ease of use. Without further ado, here are our first impressions with the device itself.The main draw of the FDR-X3000 is its 4K...
Qualité d'image très satisfaisante, très bonne stabilisation optique, écran déporté plutôt pratique, plusieurs accessoires fournis, poignée « pistolet » en option très utile
Trappes de la batterie et de la connectique légèrement difficiles à fermer et paraissant fragiles, capteur moins à l'aise en basse luminosité, pas de RAW, autonomie limitée, pas d'étanchéité sans caisson, prix élevé
Avec la FDR-X3000R, Sony offre un concurrent de taille à GoPro et sa dernière Hero 5. Non sans défaut, la nouvelle caméra sportive du géant japonais s'impose toutefois comme l'une des meilleures alternatives sur le marché actuellement...
