<\/p>\nIf you are looking for an action cam, do check out the Sony latest Action Cam, FDR-X1000V and HDR-AS200V. Since the first version, Sony has managed to shrink the size of these action cams. In my opinion, they are really a strong competitor against all other action cam makers now, even though they are late in the game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here is the pricing. They will be available from 9th April 2015.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Here is the accessory page<\/a>. Sony actually introduced this action cams in January this year at CES. Check out the January Press Release.<\/p>\n Press Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Action Cam FDR-X1000V<\/em><\/p>\n (SINGAPORE, 6 January 2015)<\/strong> \u2013 Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging, has today introduced its most powerful POV camera to date, the 4K Action Cam<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new Action Cam FDR-X1000V applies the company\u2019s vast expertise in 4K video production to a compact, splash-proof POV camera design, allowing adventurers to capture stunning 4K content (3,840 x 2,160 @ 30p 100Mbps[1]\/60Mpbs) with ease, which can then be played back on a compatible 4K TV directly from the camera via a HDMI cable. It also features enhanced HD video performance with upgraded video stabilisation, video quality and high-frame rate shooting.<\/p>\n The FDR-X1000V features a ZEISS Tessar\u00ae lens with an ultra-wide angle 170 degree[2] field of view, a back-illuminated Exmor R\u2122 CMOS sensor and the acclaimed BIONZ X\u2122 processor, ensuring that video quality remains consistently strong across all shooting environments.<\/p>\n Additionally, the new camera borrows the acclaimed full pixel readout technology from other high-end Sony cameras, including the popular \u03b17S. This allows the camera to read and process data from all of the sensor\u2019s pixels to create exceptionally smooth, highly-detailed 4K and HD videos in a variety of formats including MP4 and the high data stream XAVC S codec.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to bring the unmatched clarity and sharpness of the Sony 4K experience to our Action Cam line,\u201d said Naoki Sekiguchi, Managing Director, Sony Singapore. \u201cThe innovative design and impressive technology in the new X1000V reflect our strong 4K background and intense commitment to the POV camera market.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been lucky enough to test out the new 4K Action Cam on my skateboard, snowboard and surfboard, and have been blown away by the video quality,\u201d said Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder and official Team Action Cam member. \u201cThe camera excelled in every shooting environment, producing stunning 4K footage unlike anything I\u2019ve ever seen before out of a POV camera.\u201d<\/p>\n Upgraded HD Video, Stabilisation, Control and Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n The versatile new X1000V features an updated version of Action Cam\u2019s leading SteadyShot\u2122 stabilisation[3] technology, adding electronic image stabilisation that is approximately three times more effective at suppressing high-frequency motor vibration. This allows users to capture clear, vibration-free aerial footage using \u201cdrones\u201d and enhances action footage of fast-moving subjects.<\/p>\n The camera can also shoot HD video footage at extremely high frame rates of 120p in Full HD and 240p in standard HD for impressive slow-motion footage, and has clean HDMI output for recording to an external device. On the audio front, the new Action Cam adds wind noise reduction that minimises wind interference with the stereo microphone, ensuring the best possible sound experience.<\/p>\n For the more advanced user, there is an expanded scope of manual controls and setting adjustments including white balance, andauto exposure shifting. Loop recording is also available, allowing users to maximise usage of available memory card space to ensure they get the exact shot they are looking for. The camera also features live streaming capabilities through the USTREAM\u2122 platform[4], still image burst shooting, Motion Shot LE and a variety of other fun, interactive features.<\/p>\n New HD Action Cam AS200V with Enhanced Image Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to the new 4K model, Sony has also introduced the sleek Action Cam HDR-AS200V, which shares many of the same advanced features and exciting technologies as the X1000V including full pixel readout image, improved image stabilisation, clean HDMI output and upgraded manual controls. The AS200V can shoot full 1,080p HD\/50Mbps video[5] at 60p, 720p HD video at 120p and WVGA video at 240p.<\/p>\n \u201cHighlight Movie Maker\u201d<\/strong> in Action Cam<\/strong><\/p>\n New to the X1000V and AS200V Action Cams, \u201cHighlight Movie Maker\u201d is a convenient function that automatically produces a short, edited highlight MP4 video of a recording session[6] \u2013 complete with custom background music \u2013 for instant sharing. The new technology uses an algorithm to analyse footage during recording, earmarking action shots, scene changes and other key moments and combining them into a shortened video clip that is saved separately and available immediately for sharing.<\/p>\n New Live View Remote RM-LVR2<\/strong><\/p>\n Sony\u2019s new RM-LVR2 live view LCD remote is waterproof up to 3m (approx. 10ft) and is extremely useful in checking the framing prior to shooting. It features extensive control over the X1000V and AS200V Action Cams, including start\/stop recording, movie playback (without sound) and deletion of unwanted files. Users can also utilise Sony\u2019s PlayMemories Mobile\u2122<\/a> application \u2013 available for both Android and iOS \u2013 to control the new Action Cam with a smart device via Wi-Fi. Multiple cameras of different models can be controlled simultaneously using either the Live View Remote or the PlayMemories Mobile\u2122 application6<\/sup> on a connected smart device.<\/p>\n Built-in GPS and Action Cam Movie Creator<\/strong><\/p>\n The X1000V and AS200V camerasare also equipped with built-in GPS, allowing users to utilise the provided Action Cam Movie Creator software to produce custom videos with GPS Data Overlay. The software can also be used to merge multiple video files together and to add custom background music[7]to content as desired.<\/p>\n Coming Soon \u2013 Official Action Cam App<\/strong><\/p>\n Sony will be releasing a new mobile application that offers customers a simple approach to pro-level video editing. The official \u2018Action Cam App\u201d will be available for download on both Android and iOS platforms in the first half of 2015.<\/p>\n New Action Cam Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n There are also a variety of new accessories<\/a> for the expanding Action Cam lineup, including the VCT-HSM1 Helmet Side Mount which easily adjust angles for better shooting angles, and the VCT-BDM1 Board Mount that adheres safely and securely to a surfboard.<\/p>\n Exclusively for the X1000V, the SPK-X1 Waterproof Case[8] keeps the Action Cam water-tight to depths of 10m (approx. 33ft), while adding the AKA-DDX1[9] dive door lets X1000V focus underwater at depths down to 60m (approx. 197ft).<\/p>\n Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n The new 4K Action Cam FDR-X1000V, full HD Action Cam HDR-AS200V and accessories will be available in Singapore from Q2 2015 onwards.<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n Please follow #ActionCam on Twitter and @ActionCam on Instagram for the latest Sony Action Cam news and exciting content.<\/p>\n About Sony Electronics (Singapore) & Sony South East Asia<\/strong><\/p>\n Sony Electronics (Singapore) was established on 1st<\/sup> October 1999 with business activities comprising engineering and manufacturing, sales and marketing, and logistics and information systems. \u00a0As part of Sony Electronics (Singapore), Sony South East Asia is responsible for the marketing and sales of consumer products in Singapore, as well as for business and professional products in Singapore and\u00a0other countries in the South East Asia region.
