I decided to buy an action camera a few months ago and was undecided whether to go with a Sony (know their camera video stuff after 30 years + research) or gopro (what I see as the Oakley of action cameras).
For a few different reasons and after doing some research I decided on the Sony, whilst I can't compare to gopro, I am very happy with it so far. I linked it into my iPhone as the view finder, which is very handy, with a app downloaded from the App Store, it's very simple to use.
I downloaded iMovie for iPad and wanted to try and use a tablet only, in a few weeks I'm off to NY/Hawaii/California/SanFran for my summer hols and want to film the activities we (kids really) get up to as a video memory, editing it as we go. This is my first edit, taking about 20 mins of video into about 1 1/2 minutes.
Nothing is more boring than watching a clay pigeon shooting video, this is only to show what the camera can do. I do plan to try it out on game as the birds are (mostly) heading towards you, on the clay shoot, as its combined with a BBQ I try to have all birds heading out wards.
