    almost no editing to be done, I never have to touch my videos, the quality is great, color pops, no shaking due to the built in stabilization. I picked the sony because I have a friend who uses professional sony 4k cameras in the movie industry, he says they have the best sensors in the cameras in the market, the way they process and handle the image. And this model has tons of features.

    This Sony video camera is so small and great quality. I took it to Walt Disney World and took some of the highest quality videos I have ever taken. The stabilizer helps the videos come out awesome. I was at Galaxy’s Edge opening day and I captured it with this camera. It came out awesome and the family raves about how clear and brilliant the 4K video came out.

    Great image quality, very good image stabilization that helps a lot in action sports. My movies while skiing look very smooth. Wind Noise Filter not very efficient , but still usable. Waterproof if used with the case but will do fine during snowing without the case. Happy with the purchase.

    Purchased this for a trip to Cabo to catch the beautiful scenery. This camera performed excellently. Great image quality and the image stabilization worked great when filming as I rode wild cat atv's thru the desert and along the coastline. The 4k Video produced looks amazing.

    Bought this as a gift for my brother, after reading and watching comparison's with the Go Pro and HG Tracker I narrowed it down to this camera because of its features and functionality. The video quality was Spectacular!! He took a video of his ice fishing trip in Colorado and I was impressed, it was in a 1080p. Curious to see how clear the 4k looks. Great Camera and you will not be disappointed.

    I am super impressed with the image stabilization on this device. Colors and clarity are fantastic but stabilization is the clear best feature. Could not be happy with this product vs go pro. Very stable and easy to use interface.

    I recommend this over any of the GoPros. Especially for extreme sports like snowboarding. Much easier to handle on the slopes. 4K is beautiful and the image stabilization is far superior to the GoPro Hero 7 Black.

    Great camera ! I use it on my helmet filming motorcycle ride. Image stabilization is fanatstic, external mic input works beautifully with Sony sterio mic ($24.00) and the single touch rec button ( on-rec-off) is king.

    After looking at GoPro action cameras for quite some time, i ran accross some reviews of the Sony X3000 4K action camera. The feature set of this camera is what really caught my eye. This camera has fantastic imagage stabalization that makes for some of the smoothest action shooting I've ever seen. When I saw an "open box" unit available at my local BB, I couldn't pass it up. I am very happy with my purchase, and have absolutely no regrets in NOT buying a GoPro. Anything you can so with the GoPro, you can do BETTER with this action camera.

    I had a GoPro, but read that this camera was better for scuba diving. I'm not sold on whether this camera is better than GoPro, but it is a good camera. I would say all in all, they are about the same with this camera being able to go deeper underwater.

    Best action camera, period. Lens distortion is fixed from previous model, image stabilization is top notch. If video are not stable they are not enjoyable to watch.

    Like the size of the camera. menu system is ok, kind of hard to navigate as the included instructions are pretty poor. The first movies I did on 4K so far have been glitchy and not smooth at all. But were inside in not optimal light. Hoping outside will make better videos. At this point I would not recommend this item to other people

    I was tossing around the idea of getting a new GoPro or this Sony...I made the right choice. The video and image quality is outstanding, but where this action-cam really shines is the image stabilization. I am not the steadiest of hands and often get dizzy after watching my video captures. This camera makes everything smooth as butter! I no longer have to take dramamine when watching my stuff, haha ))

    I was shopping around for a waterproof camera for a family vacation trip to the Caribbean. At first I was set to purchase the GoPro Hero 5 until I stumble upon this Sony camera. This camera is excellent, exactly what I was looking for. It beats the GoPro in so many levels. The image stabilization is great and the image quality is wow!! THE BEST!!! Overall Great camera. Totally recommended and pick up and extra battery as well for longer recording time.
