[Review] Sony FDR-X3000r Action Cam with display kit: Rugged to the Core for Some Action Recording

4K for Action Scenes

 

Not all action cameras in the market records in 4K – the Sony FDR-X3000 does. This small unassuming unit records in 4K resolution, which is currently the highest resolution video on the market. So strap it on your body and press the Record button to capture everything in glorious 4K.

Monitor your footage from anywhere

Thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity that is available on the X3000, the camera can connect to different devices to let the users monitor the recording easily. The included LCD display works like a charm, as it connects to the camera with a single tap. If the monitor is not around, use your smartphone as your display and see your memories being captured in real time

More footage, less shake

Using Sony’s Balanced Optical SteadyShot technology – even 4K movies will be free of shakes. The lens and sensor are optically stabilized and does not involve any software shinenigens at all. The combination of Zeiss lens, Exmore R CMOS sensor and the BION X image processor – al videos will be clear as day, even at low light conditions.

Highlight

1 – The Action Cam body alone is both splashproof and freezeproof, and the supplied Underwater Housing is dustproof, shockproof and waterproof to 60 m
