The younger brother of the top action camera Sony FDR-X3000 in a recognizable corporate style with an oblong body shape. The capabilities of the camera in video filming rest on the ceiling of FullHD resolution (1920x1080 pixels), moreover, the video sequence is written to a flash drive with a maximum frame rate of 60 fps. The smoothness of the picture is guarded by an optical stub built directly into the lens. The Zeiss Tessar lens with f / 2.8 aperture and several modes with different viewing angles is assigned to the role of standard optics. In the widest position, the lens captures 170° of the surrounding space into the frame. The body of the Sony HDR-AS300 is protected from dust and frost, and paired with a waterproof box, the camera can be safely immersed to a depth of up to 60 m. To...control the device, there are several buttons and a monochrome display; communication over a Wi-Fi network. You can also take still pictures in 16:9 ratio with the camcorder. The resolution is interpolated up to 12 MP. The action camera is powered by a 1240 mAh removable battery called NP-BX1.

While all and sundry copied the form factor of GoPro action cameras, Japanese engineers from Sony did it their own way. And they ended up with an almost perfect form of a handheld device.

Longitudinal body

The elongated body of the Sony HDR-AS300 camera fits comfortably in your hand, and neither the lens nor the holes of the two microphones overlap when shooting. The optics on board the model are Zeiss Tessar ultra-wide with f/2.8 aperture. It captures 170° of the surrounding reality in the field of view and has variable viewing angles: wide (17mm in 35mm equivalent), medium (23mm) and narrow (32mm).

First swallow

The action camera, coupled with a colleague in the shop Sony FDR-X3000 , is the first swallow, who got an optical stub. With its help, small tremors of the picture are eliminated and high smoothness of the video sequence as a whole is ensured. Video recording on the model takes place in the maximum resolution of FullHD at 50 or 60 fps. The prerogative of filming videos in 4K was left to the aforementioned "three thousandth" camera from Sony's action portfolio.

Deep dive

The body of the camcorder is protected from dust and splashes without any additional cases. And coupled with a complete underwater box, the camera can withstand diving to a depth of up to 60 m. Nothing more is offered in the factory configuration of the device — you will have to buy attachments to it yourself. The Sony HDR-AS300 is an excellent value-for-money action camera for recording stabilized FullHD video.
