Storybacker team is starting to write useful reviews, comparison and other things that can help you to start your own video vlog or photo blog. Today, we would like to bring to your attention a bit old, but still one of the best action cameras in our days. Especially, considering the fact that this camera was tested by us personally.

This camera deserves a closer look thanks to several cool features, added by Sony, such as a hardware optical stabilization and certainly, 4K full HD video recording. These components transform this small action camera to almost professional video camera. In addition, the quality of sound recording is of high standard.

Only a couple of things that you should beware: In order to record in 4K full HD you will need a lot of storage space, for example ScanDisk Extreme 64gb (btw that cost around $40 — $50) will be enough only to record around 2h of high quality videos, but if you choose 1080 60p, the same card will allow you to record around 5h 35min. Honestly, if you are not looking for a very high definition quality, we think that the latter mode will be totally enough for your vlog. In terms of the battery, it will last more than 2h — 2h 30h to record in 1080 60p. If you plan to shoot longer than this, an additional battery is not so expensive.

The price is quite reasonable, now you can find Sony FDR-X3000 around $450 — $550, depending on additional equipment on offer.
