推荐型号：FDR-X3000、HDR-AS50
 
Optical image stabilization is the biggest selling point of Sony's action cameras, with excellent image stabilization, Sony has harvested a lot of action camera markets, and once threatened the hegemony of GoPro.
 
In the process of shooting outdoor sports, especially extreme mountain biking, motocross, surfing, kayaking, etc., players usually need to fix the camera on the handlebars of the bicycle or motorcycle, or fix it on the helmet, shoulder, wrist, etc. In this kind of scene where the gimbal is not available and there is a lot of shaking, the camera's stabilization is often more critical than the absolute sharpness of the frame.
 
Sony uses optical image stabilization, which is rare in action cameras, and the stabilization effect is far better than that of the GoPro. This is due to Sony's strong technical reserves in the field of cameras, which have successfully integrated the more mature optical image stabilization technology in traditional cameras into a compact body. In appearance, the Sony action camera is more like a miniature version of the traditional DV machine, closer to the "bullet-type" action camera, and is quite different from the "box-type" action camera such as the GoPro.
 
FDR and HDR are Sony's main action camera series, the former is an ultra-high-definition camera series, which supports 4K recording, and the latter is defined as high-definition shooting, which does not support 4K. At present, there is only one FDR-X3000 FRD series on sale, the price is 3480 yuan, and the more popular HDR series models are HDR-AS300 and HDR-AS50, the price is 2580 yuan and 1680 yuan respectively.
 
Among them, FDR-X3000 is Sony's first action camera equipped with optical image stabilization technology, the weakness of electronic image stabilization technology is that in most cases4K and anti-shake mode can not be turned on at the same time, and thanks to the particularity of optical image stabilization, FDR-X3000 still has a stable image stabilization effect even in the process of 4K recording, and the imaging effect is high. Compared with GoPro, there is not much difference between the daytime imaging effect of the two, and the FDR-X3000 has better image quality and a more durable battery at night. The disadvantage is that the FDR-X3000 only supports 4K 30 frames, and the bare metal does not support waterproofing and does not have a built-in viewfinder. Overall, the FDR-X3000 is more suitable for high-speed sports shooting with excellent image stabilization and streamlined body design, and is the first choice for mountain extreme cycling and off-road sports.
 
The HDR-AS300 was released at the same time as the FDR-X3000, and it also has optical image stabilization technology, the difference is that it does not support 4K shooting, and it is basically the same as the FDR-X3000 in other aspects, which is also suitable for high-speed sports shooting. The HDR-AS50 only supports electronic image stabilization, and the audio effect is not as good as that of the HDR-AS300. The biggest flaw is the non-removable battery, which greatly restricts the shooting time and ease of use, so it is not recommended to buy it.
