Anyone seen Sony's new action cams, the Sony HDR-AS10 and Sony HDR-AS15 (with WiFi) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/indepth...corders-combine-quality-optics-rugged-design?

Good points:

  • The Exmor 16MP sensor sounds pretty good, and should have decent low-light capability
  • A wealth of video options, including 120fps @ 720p
  • Very small size an light weight

Bad points:

  • No 60fps @ 1080p is a little dissappointing
  • Not sure if still options are more limited than the GoPro?
  • Price is higher than GoPro II (to be expected)
  • No LCD screen as standard, have to buy an optional accessory
  • No mountings as standard, have to buy optional accessories

Anyway seems quite equally interesting and annoying in equal measures.

Wonder if GoPro will introduce a Hero3 this year? :confused:
