Sony - 4K Waterproof Action Camera - White
- Key Specs
- Effective Pixels: 8.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: FDRX3000/W
- Product Name: 4K Waterproof Action Camera
- Color: White
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 3840 x 2160 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image Stabilization: Optical (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/2.8 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Effective Pixels: 8.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 2.6 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- Video Encoding Formats: XAVC S (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 2
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: microSD, microSDHC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Action Camera: true
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Output(s): USB 2.0, HDMI, 3.5mm audio
- Microphone Type: Built-in (stereo)
- Microphone Input: true (The device features an input for connecting an external microphone.)
- Number of USB Port(s): 1
- Charging Interface(s): USB-C (The connection for transmitting power to charge the device.)
- Power
- Rechargeable Battery: true
- Removable Battery: true
- Battery Size: Battery pack (The battery size required for operation.)
- Performance
- Protective Qualities: Water resistant
- Maximum Depth of Water Resistance: 197 feet (Measurement of the maximum depth of water in which the product is able to resist some degree of water penetration.)
- Included
- Batteries Included: true (Indicates whether the product comes with the required batteries for its operation.)
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 1.9 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 1.2 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 3.3 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Weight: 0.2 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)

Q: Would this work to go snorkeling with? Is there a lens filter for underwater filming?
A: The underwater case lets you start/stop the camera under water... unlike the other guys.
A: You can also use PlayMemories Mobile App (free). Can control all of your camera's needs; including starting, stooping, ISO, flipping image...
Q: would this be a good camera for sporting events, baseball and basketball?
A: The slow-motion is nice for baseball. With only an hour of filming time in 4k, it wouldn't be a good choice for long term videos. Plus the wide-angle lens would put you too far away from the action.
A: Hi mcmc08, The Sony FDRX3000 can't be used while charging. It should be turned off as the charging stops when you turn on the camera while charging. -Jerome
A: Hero5 is best to use with the karma grip especially if you want to record 4k because of the Image Stabilization only works at resolution lower than 4k. But as to x3000, the 4k footage with OIS is just amazing. I am not saying the OIS of x3000 could replace gimbals, but you could not put the gimbal in your pocket and use it whenever you need it. The sony x3000 doesn't have a playback screen, so you can get sony lvr2 remote as a screen for $50 at other places. So my opinion, if you really take the video very seriously with gimbal, take the gopro hero5. Otherwise, the sony is a win. Both of the two cameras have drawbacks but they are all good for a lot of things.
A: Hi rdskins21, this is the perfect camera for you. This unit can record in high resolutions and offers image stabilization to capture movement clearly. It also comes with a case making it dust and waterproof which is great for outdoor use. You may check this link for more information on this camera: https://docs.sony.com/release//specs/FDRX3000R_mksp.pdf Thanks, -Mark
Q: Does this Camera come with a charger? If it doesn't which kind do I get?
A: It comes with a micro USB cable that will charge it but I would buy a couple of extra batteries that usually come with a charger to make sure you always have a battery.
A: In a normal camera, you would want a slower shutter speed to make the fireworks "blur" with movement. Though this camera would take video, it wouldn't give you that "wow" factor in still photo's.
