Adding raw video files to the reviews as you have done is something that all reviewers of camera equipment should do! Thanks!
Great video watched it in 2020p, This years still picture perfect
This is an amazing side by side. Congrats!
hy thank you for the video comparison, i have a question, the az1 has the 240 fps slow motion at 720p HD? thanks
For diving with the Sony AZ1, use the MPKUWH1 case to achieve under water focus. record button will work. cut foam for the back and bottom. works great
hey mark nice video, i allready got the az-1 and i am wondering if the remote of the az-1 works with the as50 or the other way round?
G'day Mark
I'm looking for a camera to use mainly whilst hiking. Which sony would you recommend?
Looks good man!
I snapped a screenshot with a great example of the problem with the Az-1.
But I can't figure out how to send you a photo :D
I'd appreciate it very much if you would look at the footage in my night video. it's very short. In the middle of the video there is a clip where it is extremely visible
I hope you'll get back to me and tell me if you do or don't know, whether the as-50 has this problem. I'm considering buying it but can't until i know :)
thanks a million, great comparison ! Landscape is fantastic, where did you film this ?
I have a question! ?
I bought the az-1 for its great lowlight performance. I was going to use it as a rear-facing cam on my motorcycle.
But the waterproof housing is made so that the camera is recessed inside, leaving enough space between the actual cameras lens and the inside rim of the waterproof housings lens.
This means that any light hitting the camera at night will light up the interior of the waterproof housing, which gets reflected onto the inside of the lens and ends up looking like a big birght vignette ring.
Is the hdr as-50 also designed in that manner?
If you took a look at my latest vdeo (i have only uploaded 2) you can see what I mean even though i picked the least bad scenes.
This is a total dealbraker for me.
+skatepeak try uploading the image here and shoot me an email at MarkHawkCam@gmail.com imgur.com
Very helpful and very professional. Great job.Thanks
+Stephan Kaus thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. :D
Mark. I am ver interested in the HDR-AS50, but audio quality is very important to me and I'm very dissapointed by the audio quality. Do you know if you can purchase and use the AS50 remote with the HDR- AZ1? Do you think the GoPro hero 4 silver audio quality in a case is better? I want live view without a phone, protection from the elements, and great audio quality. Something I can use as a family camcorder, and also in the outdoors. Thanks so much!
Sorry I cannot answer but I have the exact same question!
The audio in the as50 is incredible compared to other budget action cams
@@dracueditz the audio is fking crap if you do track days yeah vlog its good but hey its a action cam audio on my bike car even testing on my boat its shit
is it hard to edit video with an external audio lets say, you record it with an external microphone
what do you think about the SJ7000 ?
Hey man, for You what is the best?
Can these 2 cameras be used with the same remote? I already have one AZ1 and want to buy a 2nd camera and remote to start recording at the same time. FYI: for motorcycle trackdays or mountain sections, one filming the road in front of me, the other one filming me from behind. I don't go to competitions to warrant a 3rd "what's happening behind me" shot.
Yes, there is a way to control multiple cameras of different sony types. It's limited but possible with these two models. Should be a problem with AS100 and newer.
nice comparison. Thank you.
Hey :) I´ve got a Question about my Gopro Hero4 session.. It has Protunes and i thought it was there for getting a higher Bitrate out of my camera but when i look at the bitrate it is exactly the same number.. but it's definatly turned on :S ist it an issue with the camera or am i doing something wrong? :/
+BikeBree What's the bit rate you're getting? Might be that now it's always filming at it's highest bit rate and that ProTunes just enables the hidden adjustable options.
+MarkHawkCam First of all thx for answer :) Its filming at around 26mbits per second
PRETTY COOL VID MAN, THUMBS UP ;-)
The AZ1 does have a slight bigger sensor (11.9), than the AS50 (11.1), according to the official website.
And the lowlight scenes did seem better, for the AZ1, because of that.
Very good job. Thank you.
I really enjoy watching your vids they are pretty cool, i have a GoPro Hero4 and i have used it to recoard some of my CZcams Videos ;-)
Which Sony can do you recommend for family action/sport vacation?
+Tomohisa Ishii AS50 is much more user friendly and has some smart changes. I'd say the AS50 or AS200 (personally I'd go 50). You can hear my talk more about it in our review.
Nice comparison
Hi i have the hdr-az1 and i watched all your videos comparisons whit the same camera, the quality of the image looks nice in your videos mine looks like shit any trick or something?, i use a samsung evo sd/xc card on the camera.
Yes, the same for me, image is not sharp, and there is a lot of digital noise even outdoor
hey mark great review, just wanna know if your planning to review "Olympus TG Tracker"?
Not at the moment but I'll add it to my watch list.
I am guessing the answer is no but would an AZ1 fit into the AS50's underwater case (or any other case for that matter)? Thx
+WookieWoolie Unfortunately no.
+MarkHawkCam Shame. even if it was a rough fit it would be better than the AZ1 case.
+MarkHawkCam and thx btw
I like the colour temp on the AS50 more, the blue sky isn't washed out looking, especially in the white snow, you can see the snow detail better.
Looking to get an action cam, would the AS50r be a good purchase over the FDR- X1000V? I prefer the 4k, but hoping Sony may release an update to that action camera and wouldn't want to dish out that cash with that in mind.
Not sure what Sony's plans are. Going to try and hit up an expo this weekend an ask myself. Personally I like the X1000 but it's bulky and limited by somethings that make the AS50 a more appealing camera to use even if it isn't as sharp. Really like the Ui , battery life, added features, and size over the X1000V's sharper image quality.
Personally would invest in the AS50 and upgrade later on if you liked the Sony line and they decide to do another 4k version.
Yea, have always loved the Sony Line and wish they would work more with content creators to get it more out there to the public. It's a great product and more people should know about it.
hi mark,
when will u have the review on Sony x3000?
I am looking forward to it
Sometime mid next week :D
MarkHawkCam
Ok, thx for ur reply
Looking forward for All Aspects Comparison : Gopro 5 vs Sony x3000
Which one should i get? HDR AS50 or the Hero4 Silver?
akram alfi yes I still don't know what do do
Hey mark. Awesome video. It means a lot how much effort you put into these videos. Your videos have helped me decide what action can I'm getting. I'm going to get the sony HDR-AZ1v. Eve. When I do get my camera I'm still gonna watch your videos because they are so awesome. Thanks for everything. Good luck on the marriage with Amanda.
+Ralph Realms Haha Thanks man! Amanda and I watched some of your videos actually. Your trampoline stunts look like good fun for slow motion. Let me know what you thought of it after you've spent sometime with it. Also the Division is pretty fun if you're looking for something to play on your channel ;)
+MarkHawkCam thanks man. Thanks for checking out my videos also. I'm getting my camera in June and I can't wait. I've decided to get the HDR-AZ1. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Thanks mark to make the video I have the as50 I like it a lot the ui what is the mount call were you can look up the remote to a Selfie stick
+Jacobsonic1209 99 The name and link is in the more information section below. It's called the Sony VCT-STG1 Shooting Grip. Only found it for sale at B&H and Adorma.
the az1 has an external mic input?...
+nismofury might have gotten it confused with the AS200. I'll add an annotation after I double check there wasn't an update.
NismoFury i can the moon see xD
hi mark,can you do a hdr as50 vs xiaomi yi comparison? Thanks man
+Dorco Pio Just got done wrapping up a bunch of busy pilot season work. transitioning back with a lot of tests. I'll add this one to the list if I can get the new US model of the Yi in soon.
What about the GPS? That is a big difference.
Hey Mark, great video! I recently started doing video editing and now want to buy a camera, and i just can't choose between AZ1 - AS50 - AS200V. Can you or anybody else give me a simplistic pros/cons about them. As a complete novice I can't really tell which of them is best. Thanks for any advice/input!
Kenert Kumar for helmet riding az1 but normal use as200
the size , remote , and water proof won me over. price is 200 best buy new
The review of the Sony HDR AS50 vs the Sony HDR AZ1 is practically the same as the Sony HDR AS50 vs the Sony HDR 200v. Am I crazy or what. Three action cams recording exactly the same.
+Henk Haakman I filmed with 3 cameras on the same rig at the same time. Cameras labeled in the video are what is displayed on screen. Since I am one person, taking 15 hours to film 3 cameras at once saves me from having to do the same thing multiple times.
+MarkHawkCam Thank you for your response. I now understand your way of working. It helped me to change my choice and determine. With greetings from Amsterdam.
I got the az1 take off the water proof case. It takes a better video. And in time it get scratch but I just change the lens it here how. And cost 40 buck. Brand new again after 2 yr LOL the stabilize don't have the go pro 9 terrible leaves shift ever 3 seconds. It's over done.. az1 is a walking cam . Sony should make a model 2
oh thx, I don't see real difference between as50 and az1. This is most visible with as200
+Popoche From a video perspective they are almost identical. The AS50 is more practical with touch controls, nice UI, small features added (bluetooth/field of view), and better timelapse options. The AZ1 is splash proof, smaller, better audio options (external mic, sound through case), and some better slow motion options.
I dont understand this is the same video as Sony HDR-AS50 vs SONY HDR- AS200....what is going on?
What's wrong with the AS50? The 120 Frames look like 25 Frames.
Stutter everywhere...
You could be trying to play off the card instead of bringing the footage to your local drive. You might also be missing a codec. Try installing Sony's Action Cam editor. It'll add a codec to your machine for better playback with XAVC-S footage.
The az1 is crap in water as it doesn’t have the flat lens fitted.
it a nutshell, what's better? ahaha
+Igor Tsybin From a video perspective they are almost identical. The AS50 is more practical with touch controls, nice UI, small features added (bluetooth/field of view), and better timelapse options. The AZ1 is splash proof, smaller, better audio options, and some better slow motion options.
+MarkHawkCam
of all current and soon to be released cams within 3months, which would you recommend for moto-vlogging and goofing around with friends?
1080p50 is a must as well as an external microphone input.
the camera will be mounted on a helmet :)
cheers from Sweden!
+TrueDesireHD If you want to use the audio I would recommend the AZ1 - you can use it without the case (since it is splashwater proof) and get the best of the microphones.
