The editors liked
The Sony's image quality is generally excellent
And more or less comparable to the GoPro Hero 3+ Black. Many people will prefer the punchier colors out of the box. Battery life is fan-freakin-tastic
Coming in at two hours and forty minutes of consecutiv
Lightweight
Streamlined design. Well-designed mobile app. Decent video in bright environments. Image stabilization.
High bitrate recording and a bunch of extra features like GPS make this Sony's best Action Cam so far
With good still image and audio quality added to the mix. A new tally light on the top of the camera makes it easy to see when you're recording
The editors didn't like
I experienced major software issues with constant card failures. The waterproof housing is only waterproof to 16 feet
Which is ridiculous
And water really sticks to the lens. The surf mount is totally unusable
And a sure recipe for losing your camera
Video quality suffers in low-light situations
Even on overcast days. Shallow water depth limit
The live view remote can't be used for photo or video playback
And a microSDXC card is needed for high bitrate recording. Exposure during regular 28Mbps video recording is uneven
While water tends to cling to the front of the waterproof case

Abstract: Action cameras are about more than just capturing crazy stunts these days — they've become a way to make anything you do look cool. You've probably seen people wave a selfie stick around while riding a bike, or strap a camera to their chest at a sporting ...

Sony's Action Cam records decent video in bright situations, has useful image stabilization, and works with a pair of well-specified apps, but the camera suffers in low-light environments....

The real question is “Should you buy it over the Hero 3+ Black?” Based on performance alone, we would say no. Ultimately, we still lean towards the GoPro. Image quality is more or less comparable (each has its strengths), and while audio quality isn't as...
