It could be compared to the latest Hero5by GoPro in the sense that both shoot up to 4K video, but the FDR-X3000R has been boasting about its optical image stabilization (OIS) and wind noise reduction so let's see how those perform in real-life usage. Design and Construction The model itself is called FDR-X3000 but this specific variant is the FDR-X3000R which comes with a Live-View Remote Kit. It is only available as a bundle to the X3000 so if you think you need a display to view and preview your shots, you may opt for this package (which obviously costs more). The package consists of the X3000 itself, a hard case that makes it dust, shock, and waterproof for as deep as 60m. With its hard case on, the X3000's lens looks similar to the GoPro's with its square form factor. The FDR-X3000 is equipped with a new ZEISS Tessar lens which supposedly has significantly less lens distortion. As long as it's connected to the X3000, you can preview your photos and videos which provide good legibility even when outside and under direct sunlight. Here are some of the main selling features of the X3000. Read more in our articles including "Sony FDR-X3000R Action Camera Review" and "Sony FDR-X3000R Action Camera Unboxing, First Impressions".
