Action cams are all the craze ever since GoPro broke into the scene with their Hero range of video cam, used in high octane sports and sometime just attached to pets, these little boxes with lens are producing amazing videos thats never been captured before.

Although late in the game, makers of HandyCam and Alpha Sony is looking at getting a piece of the lucrative market with the launch of two new models, FDR X3000R and HDR-AS300R. Although we wished Sony could have named the pair something better instead of labels you would see on shock absorbers, the new 4K and FULL HD cam however do have top quality features passed down from the company’s camera department.

Features on the models includes a Balanced Optical SteadyShot short for B.O.SS for image stabilisation, Zeiss wide angel lens, an 8.2 megapixel Exmor R Cmos sensor and waterproof up to 60 metres with the supplied underwater housing.

Coming along with the units is the Live-View Remote display, the unit can be worn like a wristband or attached to other optional accessories allowing users to catch the recording without fidgeting the camera.

The new action cam which we shall not repeat the name again are available in selected dealers outlets with the 4K edition going for RM2199
