Sony X3000 vs Gopro 11: Can Gopro Finally Win?
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2023
- Sony x3000 was released way back in 2016, and at the time, although marketed as an action camera, those who vlogged new this was the best vlogging camera of its time. It destroyed the Gopro 6 at the time. Then the Gopro 7 came out with hypersmooth stabilization, and while it was nice, it only worked in good light, whereas Sony had BOSS optical stabe that worked regardless of light. With it's low megapixel sensor it was superior in low light and just had a more natural look instead of Gopro's HDR fakeness.
Gopro 8 and 9 were very glitchy, and while the specs were starting to pass the X3000's, Sony still had many advantages like built in mic jack, smaller size, better form factor, more reliable, recorded 1 single file instead of splits, natural colours, more natural looking stabilization etc. It really was a toss up. Well, in 2023 has the Gopro 11 finally caught up? Open gate, 10 bit, 4k 120p, 2.7k 240p. On paper Gopro wins... or does it?

Thanks Billy!
I actually like the Sony colors better!?
GoPro with the pee filter. 😂
Look at the silver car's paint, I imagine it's because it has better white balance?
He graded both though, my GoPro doesn't look like that. 😕
ME2
GoPro's whitebalance is complete trash
I will never understand why Sony does not update the X3000 ....just baffling....
Because its S tier already
X3000 still killing it. Unbeatable!
X3000 still winning for me. I bought it because of you, I have a DJI Osmo Action (first release) and I still reach for the X3000. Its easier to hold and manage.
Nice comparison! I still would have a hard time choosing between them though. I like them both.
Hi Kasey. Thanks for the vid. Just wondering, does your go-to fog up. Mine does. Even the replacement they sent me back.
Hi man, enjoying the video :D you're a cool guy haha , greetings from Poland
I liked the image on the right more and was sure that the left was going to be the x3000. Surprised how well that camera continues to hold up. (Watching on a phone though)
Same but on a tv
Same but different
I still use my x3000 for every trail ride winter and summer and it’s bulletproof. I bought a DJI Action 3 which I think is better than the Hero 11 after updates, but if I have to choose between a little less better colour and resolution of the Sony over the risk of losing or corrupt files of the GoPro, I’ll take Sony any day. The external mic quality is better on Sony than GoPro and DJI and the Sony files are way more manageable.but I am noticing my Sony is a tad soft focus and fear it is only a short matter of time before I a, forced to use my Action3
How about the low light performance? I want to see your version of comparison. Thanks for your great videos.
I have the Sony and GoPro 12. The optical image stabilization of the Sony crushes the GoPro when the sun starts going down.
Can you do just some simple color grading with both to see how they would look for everyday use? I always play with gamma and brightness just go get it looking good. Modern cameras are trying to do this in real time.
i have one of the x3000 but not sure of the other settings like for like mp4 or 360?
Street crossing, angry dad walk and the dance! Pure gold! The Sony X3000 still looks better imo, The colours on the GoPro look yellowed! Yes the stabilization on the GoPro is better, but the Sony is not that bad to watch. The sky on the Sony looks great! Thanks for the comparison.
Is pink eye making you see yellow?. The GP11 was yellow-tinted.
that good old sony, compared to the gopro, I must say its sad seeing how little progress has been made over such a long amount of time
art at 13:00, the bird of happiness perches, 10 seconds later leaving me wanting second servings, where might I find that bird again,my friend ?
. . . a conga bogey, coming in hot, flying low
I enjoy your quirky sense of humor and insights into cameras. I have enjoyed Fuji colors and ergonomics for many years, but may go for a Sony for low light and video autofocus performance. Thanks.
I own a X3000 and GP10, the Sony is the best walk about camera (with a bit of foam held over the mic with an elastic band) very discrete and no one pays you any attention, but I pull the GoPro out if it's going to get wet etc as they can both fit in a jacket pocket...I've now bought a Panny G9, so blending all 3 styles into one vlog will be fun, especially sound.
Check out the GoPro Labs firmware for your Hero 11. You can enable 10-bit F-LOG, 200Mbps bitrate, on-screen Histogram, and DaVinci/Premiere Pro proxies that are generated in-camera. Then you can just treat the footage like any mirrorless camera in post and get some incredible looking footage from the GoPro with your usual workflow.
R u add some blur and warm tone to GoPro footage?
I've been using x3000 for a long time and still prefer it even over gopro 11, it's a very versatile vlogging camera according to my experience.
The Gopro has shadow lift. If you do a shadow lift on the Sony in post, I think the image would beat the Gopro. Not sure why the Gopro has a yellow tint, either.
I could tell at the beginning ever so slighly from the stabilization. But I found myself hunting for an X3000 because it does look very good.
You should do a video on the GoPro using GoPro labs firmware.
That Sony looks good and still seems to have sharper focus then GoPro at that close range.
This was good. It all comes down to your needs. I had the Sony HDR-AS15 until it fell in the water, unprotected. It was a great camera. I'm buying another Sony to replace it. Good, funny video!
Can you sync the camcorder to an iPhone so that you can preview what the camcorder can see? I’d plan on putting one of theee on a 7ft tripod to record my son playing goalie for soccer.
I used to use the Sony app with the x3000 to do that. Not sure if the modern app works, or how far away it will work.
Why is the GoPro giving an extremely yellow image? - I was worried about your liver there for a moment, but you look fine on the Sony
cheap ass ND
I think the filters you have on muddy up the image.
LOL, I forgot how much I missed the angry dad walk test!
Love the 3d view!
Whats the slow mo music ❤
That angry dad walk was priceless!!!
Where to buy Sony fdr x3000 in India
I'm buying GoPro Hero 11 on Wednesday. Really looking forward to it!
So the best part of this was at the beginning when u were slo mo across a street, a woman complete with shopping cart, watching u. Priceless. I never liked Sony but I folded when the 7 4 arrived, yeah I’m a photo person, u don’t like me.
My short comment: Colors are times better on Sony, but the pciture detail and dynamic range goes to GOPRO hands down, just on gopro footage do 2 clicks down on printerlights in Davinci. And boom you got a winner! Cheers from Bulgaria, not Bolivia! lol
I was hoping with all my heart that the x3000 was the left….but it wasn’t. Surprised! Our auto exposure seems to work a bit better than we saw here. That said, GP for the overall win (but go OSMO Action 3 today?). Still, we use our 3000 all the time and it does a great job; stab isn’t quite as good as our GoPro (we are still at 8, it looks good, but freezes often) but it always works, mic is great for ‘vlogging” and rarely needs a back up (we often use the Sony as a back up for audio). And did we note: it always works!! I think if Sony did an update, they likely would lose all their sales of other camera supposedly designed for vloggers. Nice comparison! Still love the Sony, but think of it more like a mini camcorder rather than an action camera. At least thats how we tend to use it.
"more of a mini camcorder" - that is a very insightful observation. I had never thought about it like that before, and yet it is true, a mini companion for a larger video camera, whether mirrorless or camcorder.
Its shape always made it a poor action camera. True that it is a great shape for mounting on the side of a helmet, but less good than GoPro for chest mounts and many other ways we tend to use a GoPro, both Hero and Session.
That is how I use mine.
I have the GoPro Hero 12 Black but the Sony FDR-X3000 is still superior in many ways.
FDR-X3000 advantages
Image stabilization works just as good regardless of lighting conditions (GoPro sucks at night and sunset)
Superior reliability (GoPro refuses to fix reliability issues year after year)
No lag (the GoPro menu has lag and everything else on the GoPro has lag too, glitches happen as well)
Faster boot up (turns on and records significantly faster than the GoPro)
Settings can be changed even if camera is wet since it has buttons
Much better color science that looks more natural (the GoPro sometimes makes things look ridiculous in strong sunlight)
Better quality lens and sharper video
Lens flare is also much nicer and looks more like a proper camera
Better audio quality and has a wired microphone input BUILT IN
Has a more of a camera look than an action camera look
Amazing battery life and batteries are easier to change. All their action cameras use the same battery too.
The list goes on. The GoPro is great at some things but REALLY sucks at other things.
@johnfoley4023 I haven't had any issues with mine. Take your GoPro out at night and see how it does.
@johnfoley4023 If I moved my hero 12 all over it would make some people sick too. The camera man is important and no image stabilization can fix that. I still reach for the Sony a lot though since it has a lot of advantages of its own. Stabilization in low light is one of many.
Hey how's the battery in X3000? I'm thinking of getting a second hand version
Im for the Gopro, looks more natural colors. Btw whas that Epona ?
The GoPro has better dynamic range and I notice the higher bitrate, but it has a bit too much of a camcorder look and the colours are weird. Overall I like the look of the X3000 better for vlogging.
Slow-mo is a different story 😬
I like the x3000 most scenarios. More natural pleasing footage. Go pro is something artificial in the footage that you feel it. I would get an x3000 as much can be available to buy. That's a legendary camera.
For me it's that dance 15:40 😂😂😂😂
GoPro 11 also has 10 bit and a proper LOG format, so it will look better than the Sony X3000 with a LUT and minor color correction. Also the GoPro doesn't suffer from jagged lines like the X3000. If you don't want to do any of that though the Sony does look more pleasing out the camera. I also do prefer the slightly softer image the GoPro has. Seems a tiny bit more "cinematic"
Stabilization on the GoPro is unbeatable. If you do action sports like i do the gopro is the best
How recently are you talking? When I got my action cam the image stabilisation was a lot better on the Sony. At least riding dirt bikes it was
@@Coopsoldman that's true. Everyone caught up! They are all great now, dji, insta360, and of course gopro. The stabilization on all the action cams are great. Now if Sony, Canon and Fuji could figure out how to bring that stabilization to full frame cameras.
HA! I liked the video even before I saw it!!! Do I win a prize? 🤔
NOW that I've watched this amazing comparo to 2016 technology, sad to say, that damn GoPro 11 wins...
Go pro wb is so yellow and green in comparison I really thought ist was a Sony reptilian 🤣🤣🤣 was ist was really neutral in comparison. Great work by the way man I really appreciate your humour an Tec reviews👍 keep it up
Wild fires in Canada..that watering can you picked up which was next to a fire hydrant is to be used in emergencies only. Watering your apartment house plants does dot qualify as an emergency. If you took it return it immediately!
But what about the audio? What also sets apart the Sony is simply the audio which is always better when the camera is not waterproof.
Strange yellow tint on the gopro footage.
I actually like the colours from the x3000 more. I thought the right was the gopro lol
You are a blessed man as I am because we own the two cameras! 😂
The x3000 looks so good lol 😳
I was shocked when you revealed which camera was which
Me too!! I audibly gasped! 😲
All i want is perfect sarcasm , check ✅️
The X3000 over all has the best image. It seems to need better lighting than the gopro but the gopro has a weird color shift and it makes the sky look overcast in comparison.
To my ears the gopro had better audio, at times muddied in comparison but over all more direct. The X3000 was catching more of the ambient sounds. However without the abrupt changes between both cameras, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
Choosing between the two, I'd take the Sony.
Gopro seemed sharper and better light balance
The Sony x1000v is also still a great camera.
I prefer the x3000. Looks more real
x3000 still the king by far. The digital stabe on the new action cameras look too unrealistic so you are drawn into it being a camera (not natural to watch) As for all that in low light... totally falls apart.
these intense crossing-the-street slomo's with the creepy music underneath freak me out every time... 👽👽👽
😂😂
THEY COULD build a Smaller
body large sensor full frame
interchangable lenses with every feature there is, They just Don’t want to.
Your Scottish accent is great. And they all drive sheds on wheels in Cambridge Avenue.
Just my observation.
This is like listening to your friend endlessly talking about his ex he broke up with 6 years ago.
I'm debating whether to sell my Sony X3000 or not. I've been using it for years, and it has helped me capture some really good videos. The downsides include:
- It lacks a display
- It doesn't have a box-style design, which can sometimes be inconvenient
- 4K videos are saved in the XVAC format, which cannot be downloaded directly to my phone
Haven't found out which is which yet, but the image on the left has weird skin colours but a clearer image and a better gamma curve than the image on the right, which is probably the GoPro and has usable skin colours
Holy fuck Batman, I was wrong!
The GoPro 11 colours are *gaaarrrbage* what the heeell's going on?
8:00 well, that's it, I will never upgrade from my GoPro 7. the 1080p of the GoPro 11 is also garbage
I think you should have shot both cameras at the same resolution 4K for an honest comparison.
As someone who watches content in 1080p, I'm amazed how much better the Sony looked. Also the sky was better. GoPro might have a slight edge when it comes to stabe and it is sharper, but the Sony is still king IMO.
Was thinking of buying the GoPro, but now I'm debating getting the Sony lol. Which mic do you recommend for the X3000?
Oh, I wasn't sure which was the GoPro at first. I was tricked by the yellow color...
GoPro looks like you have jaundice which watching ur other channel is quite possible.
2:30 whoa, that slomo on the Sony looks fantastic!
I have the Sony, and seeing this comparison did not encourage me to run out and buy something new.
Dear Gopro, Please make the Max Lens Mod 120 fps. It's the best thing you've made to stop the warping.
I prefer sony over gopro, in a group 5 days motorcycle ride all of my friends gopros died or heated up but sony was standing still till end of the day.... Awesome build quality and performance. This one i got for 250$ used but i would say its worth.
Until now the go pro company they still didn’t fix this issue over heating
You made a mistake when you got rid of the Action 3... that was a way better camera. Had better battery life, less glitchy, didn't need a giant media mod just to connect a microphone.
Sony X3000 vs Sony RX0ii
I wish the Sony X3000 was still being sold.
Sony X3000 has way better colors! Also better audio and it's stabe is unbeatable yet!
Sony's may be of a "lower" resolution, but it produces a sharper picture. Look at the 240 fps comparison.
I thought the 3000 was on the left🤣
Skin color looks more natural with the Sony
I preferred the Sony except when exposure fails cast you into utter darkness
X3000 👍❤️👍
Great job on the video Kasey! Thanks for making it. I would love to see an updated Sony action cam. Maybe with an available wireless lav. Wouldn't even be too hard. Just add the receiver from their bluetooth mic in the body of the cam.
The Sony looks better, the colors look nicer, the texture of the road shows the details which are washed out in the GoPro.
Sony slo - mo test 240 fps - 720p lady with pink top i know she's just saying My God' is this what it's come to? in my day ya da ya da ya da bless her.
Im late to the party here.. the Sony for my needs absolutely teabags GoPro.. and makes me regret ever considering that hyped up POS for filming anything. For capturing motorcycle footage at night WITH good audio.. Sony is light years better.
GoPro looks like there’s some sort of filter on there
Before knowing I decided the Sony was my preferred picture, on my 6inch cell phone over cellular data from 3 feet away on my desk as I ate my non vegan chicken and rice
Maybe better to compare the DJI Pocket 2, or Action 2 even.
I mean for a vlog camera.
That is what this video is comparing for isn't it.
For Action, the go pro is unbeatable
Is that GP11 defective? Most of the footage was garbage! It had a weird yellow/green cast and made the colours look terrible. The X3000 kicked its butt! Much better colour and contrast.
The Gopro seems to never had focused on you this whole video. And looked mostly lower resolution. Just looked really bad.
I have the X3000 and legit was thinking the right one was the GoPro
3000 audio was great until you put it in the waterproof case, LOL then it is worthless while the GoPro can still function in the rain or water as could the Countour cameras
Sony is so good still for the age. It sounds better and has more dslr look to it
The Gopro11 look like its using the sickly green Sony science, which oddly the Sony x3000 has dramatically better tones.
by the way camera conspiracies running down the street with a gopro 11 in one hand and an x3000 in the other is not "action sports" and not a true test of how much better the gopro stab is than the x3000. Try shredding some double blacks on a snowboard, kitesurfing when it's nuking or mountain biking down the side of a cliff, then you'll see how amazing the stab of a gopro is. It's perfect for action sports. Maybe not perfect for running down the street scaring small children but that's not an action sport.
The GoPro look gives you yellow fever and the Sony makes you an alcoholic.
What's wrong with you? Keep it up...
