              Sony Officially Announces Its New HDR-AS10 and AS15 Action Cams!

              We discussed a teaser that Sony put out earlier about their new action cam a while back, but it’s finally here! Yet another contender in this segment for the action junkie…

              Specs:
              Waterproof to 197′/60m
              Full HD @ 30p
              Image Stabilization
              HD slow-motion mode (60fps/120fps)
              HDMI output
              Built-in stereo mic
              Memory Stick Micro and Micro SD/SDHC slots

              The HDR-AS15 will cost you an extra $70 for the added convenience of built-in wifi, making it $268 while the AS10 only $198 (Click on the links to pre-order from B&H).

                some of those shots are a little misleading…. some def not taked with the camera due to DOP! but HELLO to 120fps! :P

              • http://www.facebook.com/aepoc Jason Kessenich

                Yeah that 120fps is killer.  I want one of these really bad.

              • Matthew Morse

                The screen, image stabilization and 120fps alone make it easily a GoPro killer. And the form factor makes it better for side-mounted helmet cams. I think the only negative I can really think of at this point is lack of accessibility. GoPro pretty much had the market cornered for this type of thing and it’ll take Sony a bit to get a good foot hold in that market. 

                I think if they keep making these and offering them at these prices, that they can only get better. Especially with their recent lineup of sensors and imaging technology. 

                It’s good to see something that isn’t a box with a fisheye on it.

                i may be nitpicking but i am not a fan of it taking micro SD cards

              • Zack W.

                MicroSD is kind of a bummer because it means buying a whole new set of cards too. I have no regrets about buying another GoPro2 earlier this week, but I’m curious how this stacks up against the current offerings from GoPro and Contour

                Now if only someone would come up with a camera that zooms. Being stuck at a wide angle view for every shot is a deal killer for me.

              • Conspiracy Einstein

                Waterproof? Is the camera waterproof, or does it use a housing like the GoPro does?

              • http://twitter.com/TheCrazyLudwig Ian Ludwig

                 From the source link specs:

                Waterproof Housing Good to 197′ (60 m)

              • http://twitter.com/martinbeebee Martin Beebee

                The GoPro Hero2 shoots at 120fps — but only at 848×480 WVGA. WTF?! 120fps at 720p plus image stabilization at $198? Oh, baby. . . .

              • http://profiles.google.com/fastlines Freddy Oropeza

                I don’t know I want to be handling a zoom option when flying down a double black diamond, or a super tech mountain biking trail, i think regular cameras will give you those options.

              • http://twitter.com/jpbernhardt JeanPatrickBernhardt

                 is it just me or is some of the videoshots very grainy compared to the GoPro

              • tompano1

                Don’t know how the GoPro is but stop the video at the 3 second mark, that’s some serious CA going on in the mountains.

              • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=602117972 Kevin Younger

                “170° angle of view”
                So, really, it is a box with a fisheye on it. It’s just a different shaped box.

              • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=602117972 Kevin Younger

                I’m definitely interested by this, especially 120fps @ 720p (it’s what the GoPro2 should have had). But what will give this a chance will be the quality of the video-I’ll wait to see more from it. And it has to have multiple mounting options. That’s still one of the GoPro’s best features and what sells it to me over the Contour and others. I don’t care about being able to mount it on a helmet at roughly eye level. That’s one of the must boring angles available and has very limited use.

              • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1214447651 Lee Steed Kabilyo

                I was thinking more of set and forget.

                I JUST got an alert that you replied. Looks like Disqus is lagging. Thank you for the info, though.
