Sony Action Cam HDR-AS20 Released In Europe

Sony has j announced the successor to last year's Action Cam HDR-AS30V, the Action Cam HDR-AS20, which is coming to Europe starting from July 2014.

The camera features a wide-angle ZEISS Tessar lens with a 170° field of view (120° with SteadyShot on) that’s close to human vision. Camera shake’s kept in check by SteadyShot that reduces judder and vibration when you’re hurtling down a pock-marked bike trail or buffeted by wind and waves. There’s also a stereo microphone.

Inside the camera there is a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor that captures Full HD video and still photos (up to 28Mbps bit-rate recording), even at dusk.

Built-in Wi-Fi connects Action Cam with the wearable RM-LVR1 Live-View Remote. Available as an optional extra, this waterproofed wrist-mount accessory makes it easy to check shots and control up to five cameras with Action Cam mounted in hard-to-reach places like your surfboard or a helmet.

Battery life’s even longer than its predecessor, letting you shoot non-stop video footage for a 130 minutes with Wi-Fi on (150 mins with Wi-Fi off).
