Revainrating 1 out of 5

I will never make this purchase again.

Bought for 189 Euro.Complete disappointment. As one forum wrote: "My soulcomuldn't stand it and I went today and bought myself a Sony as50 as a second camera to as200. I came home and began tocompare both cameras. Well, what I want to say. if you don'tcompare cameras and just use one as50, then it seems to be normal But when you start tocompare, it immediately becomes clear that as50 is a little soapy and gives a little more noise in poor lighting. The sound also upset me. It seems that it is mono and is written at a volume of minus 2 incomparison with as200. when you shoot the case, the sound DOES NOT go through AT ALL ! That is, you can’t hear it at all! As a result, I went to the store and handed it back. " I will add. Compared with the "Chinese" likeRuncam 2, the red price of this Sony is 50 Euros with delivery.Compare ? v=aHyV93I2ot8 If you need Sony, then AS200, deep-water box, buy separately. Or save money and patience for FDR X3000. AS50 - marketing "razvodilovo" from Sony. If you have problems with sound in the aquabox, here's what to do: ? v=KIjWkzVN730 Most of the reviews on thenet are the work of Sony's SEO and PR department, some reviewers who received this camera for a promotional review even those. specifications were not known. For such a small matrix, you need a very high-quality noise reduction and software stabilization + a normal lens. Noise canceling and stub are solved at the firmware level, which means Sony worsens the picture with a specialist, because. AS200 has sharper borders, such a dark border is a software increase in micro-contrast, which should be easily implemented in AS50. But this is not. Editing in a video editor does not help - any increase incomntrast or smoothing leads to a loss of detail. Increasing the sharpness leads to even more noise. Poor implementation of the firmware, which means that the Sony AS50 is a niche product that was released badly by a specialist. The people hide. Do not buy until the firmware is fixed.

Pros
  • None. Everything that is passed off as merit should be and is in other cameras for less money.
Cons
  • Blurry picture, a lot of noise, frankly poorly shoots in low light, software stabilization, poor sound, the picture is clamped at the firmware level, the camera is already six months old, and Sony does not want to change the firmware, it heats up a bit during long shooting, poor equipment, software for windows is intuitively buggy . The foam rubber of the aquabox covers the microphone, it is necessary to .
