Video reviews

Despite positioning the model as a camera for active shooting, vloggers, YouTubers and other video bloggers give it more and more preference, since the ergonomic shape of the Sony FDR-X3000 contributes to a comfortable grip of the camcorder, and the optical stabilization system on board minimizes shaking and shaking of the operator's hands.

Zeiss optics

In the immediate vicinity of the action camera lens, there is a Zeiss nameplate, which directly makes it clear that a solution from a famous German brand is used as an optics. The lens shoots at a focal length of 17mm (35mm equivalent) with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. Focal lengths can be increased to 23mm or 32mm by cropping the frame.

4K video

The picture captured in the field of view of the optics is recorded on a microSD flash drive installed in the camera in resolution up to 4K (3840x2160 pixels). The bitrate when shooting video in ultra-high resolution reaches 100 Mbps, and the video sequence itself is written in the XAVC S codec, which opens up wide features for post-processing the footage.

security

The body of Sony FDR-X3000 is protected from dust and splashes without any additional cases. However, with this, the degree of protection of the action camera increases significantly — the model ceases to be afraid of falls and water, withstanding deep diving up to 60 m. The only thing missing in the camera is the screen for viewing the captured videos (a monochrome display with a settings menu is not suitable for these purposes), but then would have had to sacrifice one of the main trump cards of the device — compactness. Instead of a full screen, you can use a smartphone by linking it to the camera for active shooting wirelessly.
