  • This was a fun test. Gopro Hero 10 vs Sony FDR X3000. I have had the Sony camera for many years and I love this camera. And I must say that it continues to surprise, yes GoPro Hero 10 is a better camera. But I think there is no point in upgrading. The Sony camera is good enough for 90% of us. Excellent image quality and very good stabilization.
    And in fact in a few moments it's better than GoPro Hero 10. The image quality is more normal, the colors match surprisingly well with what your eye sees. And the built-in microphone is much better than the GoPro. Yes you want to get more out of your GoPro camera, you have better options. Better resolutions and framerates. So if it is important then you should upgrade. But do not sell the Sony camera. It is simply some of the best that has been made. Never any nonsense with that. It just works.

      @aMiFiii Hey, thanks for watching. When it comes to streaming you are probably right, I never stream. The Sony is a excellent camera and I will never sell it, you can color grade the Sony footage and it looks really good. And the Sony camera always work, no bugs or crashes like the Gopro. GoPro looks really good if you film in flat in the highest resolution and grade it a little. I actually now use my Sony and action 2 more then the GoPro. As a action camera the GoPro is solid and works👍.

    Love your vids Espen. I actually have both these cams myself and got to say Gropro works great out the box, the issue here is the x3000 files need to be upscaled to 4K 60frames even with 1080p shots as youtube compression with sonys file makes the shots worse than it actually looks.

      That's because this idiot has the settings all wrong on the Sony. The Sony totally blows away the GoPro and the resolution is much higher than the GoPro. This was a pretty defective comparison as most of the nonsense you see on UA-cam

    • @garypranzo9334
      @garypranzo9334 2 роки тому +1

      I agree about the settings but the x3000 maxes out at only 4k30 and the Gopro 10 is 5.3k60 and 4k120. That said the x3000 is still an excellent camera and the used pricing on this old camera shows this camera is still relevant. It is sad Sony is not updating this camera.
      PS: I shoot at 1080p60 on my x3000 and if I do upgrade to the gopro 10 I would not go above 4k60 but the Xtra resolution of the sensor would leave me headroom for the digital image stabilization and other features that need the extra horsepower.
      I am not concerned about the flat color in the sony as that is how I shoot since color grade in post but I am concerned about some detail loss at least at auto settings. GoPro clearly has better auto modes but the x3000 has so many manual setting so more experienced shooters will get more the x3000 for sure.

    • @majordolbyscat
      @majordolbyscat 2 роки тому +1

      Its worth noting that second hand prices of the x3000 are now, on average 40% more than the cost of a brand new GoPro 10. And like any camera that gathers a "cult" following like say Digital Bolex, or Ikonoskop, will see second hand prices increase while GoPro will just move on to the next model before being able to pick up their previous model for pennies. Hold on to the Sony, treasure it, its much, much more filmic and natural than the GoPro... and that SOUND! Beautiful.

    As I understand it, the main difference will be in the evening and at night. When the Gopro digital stabilization will give out artifacts affecting the image quality, while the SONY with digital + NON-digital stabilization will be fine. It would be interesting to compare it in the evening shooting with movement. Something like a walk in the park with lanterns.

    • @rubensmob
      @rubensmob 2 роки тому +1

      And the second is a sound. Surprisingly, GoPro still has problems with this. When you shoot yourself (you are in front of the camera), and then show where you are going (you are behind the camera), on Gopro the sound changes a lot. Sony has no difference, the sound quality is more uniform.
      Although, of course, in 4 or 5 generations that have changed since Sony came out, GoPro has finally made a good, more contrast and really nice picture. It's actually better than Sony right now. Also the sound when you look at the camera is wonderful, also better than Sony. But overall, Sony is actually a more balanced camera, even now.

    I thought that the old GP1 was the issue with the gopro, but now I see that it's not that. Gopro just aren't pro and haven't been for a while now.
    If Sony would decide to produce a X3000 successor, man... there'll be no competition at all.
    This 6 years old camera from Sony it's already crusshing the hero 10 and DJI Action 2 on low light and the Sony also has mic in, HDMI and tripod mount without the bullshit expesive, good for nothingh and buggy adaptors and media mods.

    I bought the go pro 10 about 4 weeks ago, it's great for making vlogs, but it is a headache to try and get it to work as a webcam (audio delay), it doesn't work as a webcam out of the usb-c to a capture card you need the media mod (Go Pro making money scam), the batteries are weak asf and only get a good 30-40min use per battery, the go pro live function is very unreliable and buggy with constant disconnects you can't livestream with it for long periods of time, it overheats, you can't battery hot swap. I'm selling this go pro 10 and keeping the sony fdr - x3000. Go pro are just money making scammers who really don't listen to the users.

    I much prefer the Sony colors - much more natural, however the Hero 10 has better contrast and dynamic range and better flare resistance. However, I prefer the DJI to either, and as soon as light levels get low the Hero 10 falls apart first, next the Sony, and the Pocket is the clearly better option. While the Hero 10 features beat the Sony, the quality of the Sony footage is amazing considering its age.

    If you're recording, any of the 2 would do well..
    I'm doing IRL streaming, so I'm using the camera's hdmi output on the road and live stream.
    I started with the gopro, and used it for 5 months, yes the gopro is a nice camera but... even without battery it started overheating when summer hit, plus in all past 5 months I had big trouble with the gopro firmware, in hdmi output mode the gopro suddenly decides to go 480p output without sound, which is a fluke of the firmware (gopro 8, 9 and 10 have this issue).
    That last part is annoying so I went for a search for the Sony fdr x3000 which I have now.. and I have to say that it's a far nicer camera, yes the image is maybe a bit more grey compared to the gopro, but it doesn't overheat... the mic is great with a muff to avoid wind.. and it just keeps working without issues on hdmi output.
    So my choice, based on usecase, is the sony

    They're both great but in Japan where more and more places are banning cameras, the Go Pro can be more stealth, attached to my backpack strap with a clip and I like wear black clothing so black Go Pro with front screen turned off or covered with black tape is much more stealth. Even with iPhone camera I had a few places tell me stop filming in shop, even though I was quiet and in corner with hubby. And in bookstore the other day, they have sign on entrance no cameras and when I held DJI Osmo Pocket close to chest the cashier at front was watching it so put it away. Mind you, I'm in countryside, look pure Japanese and notice a change where people want privacy in public areas. I heard Japan Disney banned DSLRs and gimbals unless you have special permission. In countryside when I go out, I rarely see people filming day to day so you stand out so I want something that can be stealth. iPhone camera ok in general but sometimes got to be more stealth. Japan so crazy sometimes with privacy and on the news here they blur entire screen and put super high Minnie Mouse voice it almost seems like a joke at times. In US we might just blur face and maybe lower voice a bit time to time, here its regular thing.
