Camera Overview — Sony AS50

The Sony HDR-AS50 is a compact action camera built around an 11.1MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing still images at a maximum resolution of 4608x2592. It records video up to 1080p at frame rates of 30fps and 60fps, making it a solid option for smooth, full HD footage in a variety of shooting scenarios. The camera features Digital/Electronic image stabilization to help reduce shake during active use.

Weighing just 58g and measuring 47.0 x 83.0 x 24.2mm, the HDR-AS50 is genuinely pocket-friendly and easy to mount or carry. The body is constructed from plastic and carries a Water Resistant rating, offering a degree of protection in wet conditions.
