The footage looks good. You can connect the camera via micro HDMI and it will push 4K footage directly to the TV
Which is fun at the end of a long day

Audio quality is excellent

For those of us of a certain vintage
It's almost impossible to believe that Sony could be described as an underdog when it comes to video cameras. But in the world of professional action
The X1000V houses a ton of useful features for action lovers
Plus it can record at 4K 100Mbps in Sony's efficient XAVC S codec. There's built-in image stabilization and the camera offers exposure compensation and white balance control. To top it all off
Excellent video capture capacity
Great photo stills from 4K video
Flexible shooting options
Robust and tough design with waterproof case

Sony can't make a mount to save its (action camera's) life. For something that's supposed to be built for rough n' tumble activities

Abstract: Action cameras have come a long way since the very first GoPro hit the market in 2005 (it used 35mm film, if you can believe that.) They've increasingly shrunk in size, and video quality has improved dramatically with each new generation. Many offer rear...
The Sony FDR-X1000V is one of the best action cameras in the market today, and I have definitely no qualms recommending this, especially in its price range. The X1000V costs just RM 1450 (~USD 353), including a remote watch and a 32 GB MicroSD card (which...

Excellent video capture capacity, Great photo stills from 4K video, Flexible shooting options, Robust and tough design with waterproof case, 1:1 pixel readout for superior 4K video quality
A bit clumsy in the body design, Slightly too large for an action camera, XAVC S format for 4K can be expensive
Overall, we'd probably vote in favor of the GoPro Hero 4 action camera as far as serious action/POV shooting is concerned (particularly with 4K UHD resolution). However, the Sony FDR-X1000V/W is a great and very robust 4K POV camera on its own and many u...

Camera Review: Sony FDRX1000V
Sony has built an enviable action camera in the X1000V. For our money, it's better designed than the Hero4 and has features, such as GPS, that the Hero4 lacks. That said, it's not offering comparable image quality and is missing the frame rate, resolution...
The GoPro Hero4 Black offers a little more than the Sony 4K Action Cam with its advanced manual controls packaged in its Protune software, and an additional video resolution that some people like to use, the 2.7K video mode. Sony wins easily with the audi...
Sony's 4K Action Cam isn't a GoPro killer, but the power to record 4K video at 30p makes it a worthy competitor. Amateur action enthusiasts and video professionals alike will enjoy the variety of features and shooting options. Because it's water resistant...

No. It’s been less clear with previous iterations, but this is one very easy call to make. The advantages don’t outweigh the disadvantages. At $500 it isn’t any cheaper than the GoPro Hero4 Black which shoots better video, is much easier to use, and has s...
