What customers say about "Size & Weight"

GoPro Hero6 Black 4K Action Camera with Touch Screen

I recommend 100%. In addition its versatility, size, functionality and final quality make it an ideal video camera for adventures, tourism and sports.
There isn't another camera in the market that comes close to matching its superior picture quality + portability balance. It's light weight and very easy to use.
The apps/software are easy, seamless, and fun. The camera itself is so freaking small it’s crazy.
This is a very small camera writing a lot of data to a tiny card and so there will be a lot of expected heat.
The entire camera is small which is great but they sacrificed a lot to get the camera that small.

Sony DSC-RX0 1.0-type Sensor Ultra-Compact Camera with Waterproof and Shockproof Design

Small compact shouts raw file i love this sony.
The RX0's ultra compact form factor and rugged waterproof design allow for unusual placement options in challenging environments that are prohibitive with traditional production cameras.
It is waterproof to 33 feet and the body is very rugged.
One of the most shocking things to me about this camera is its tiny size. I can mount this virtually anywhere and I can also toss it in the pocket of my shooting vest and forget its there.
It is a very nice camera, but the size makes it cumbersome to handle.

What customers say about "Display"

GoPro Hero6 Black 4K Action Camera with Touch Screen

The touch screen is more responsive.
The touch screen is very responsive and quick.
Amazing quality. Love the screen on the back, shots are more accurate.
I got a dud! Out of the box, the screen freezes just when changing camera modes from video to photo, or trying to change camera view, or randomly when toggling through any of the control screens.
The touch screen is a little annoying, but the photos are great.

Sony DSC-RX0 1.0-type Sensor Ultra-Compact Camera with Waterproof and Shockproof Design

The screen is very small & is hard to see in sunlight.
Screen is very small.
The screen itself is about the size of a normal camera’s memory card to give you an idea how small it is.

What customers say about "Video"

GoPro Hero6 Black 4K Action Camera with Touch Screen

This is one incredible machine that is so compact and so useful.
Everything is better with the Hero6 and it's noticeable right away.
Stability is amazing and the color is outstanding.
This thing can shoot 4K in 60fps! Or 1080p in 240fps! This is one incredible machine that is so compact and so useful.
One issue with these extremely high frame rates is the inability to edit them in most mid range computers.

Sony DSC-RX0 1.0-type Sensor Ultra-Compact Camera with Waterproof and Shockproof Design

What this camera does & it does it well is shoots high-quality footage where other cameras can’t.
It shoots slow motion bursts at up to 1000 frames per second – that is impressive.
The quality of the video is very good but it does take some fiddling to compose shots.
Video quality in a medium lit room at night was smooth and crisp with life-like colors.
No in-camera 4K video. 4K video is only available when outputted to an external recorder.

What customers say about "Features"

GoPro Hero6 Black 4K Action Camera with Touch Screen

Great quality of material.
Battery Life is fine.
All of the features of the Hero5 are also found on the Hero6.
Amazing features.
Camera footage is phenomenal.

Sony DSC-RX0 1.0-type Sensor Ultra-Compact Camera with Waterproof and Shockproof Design

Large 1” (1.0-Type) stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor with DRAM Chip provides impressive image quality.
Wireless multi-control function can control multiple RX0 cameras with a smartphone.
Picture Profile and S-Log2 gamma settings enable movie shooters to create the visual appearance of movie footage in-camera, thus saving valuable time in post production editing.
Limited operating temperatures of approximately 0℃ to 40℃ (32 ℉ to 104 ℉). Being so ruggedized I would have expected to be able to use the RX0 in much harsher conditions. Even in North America we routinely encounter temperatures way outside the camera's usable range
It does not have image stabilization which is a must-have in an action cam.
