You did great job Mark! This review really covered all my questions , keep up your work!

[@GoldPanDann]

Thank you for the BEST review of this camera!

[@JulyLocaProductions]

Great review! Thanks so much for including the information about the AS100/200 fiting into the AS50 dive case. Just saved me some coin!!!

[@GoGeog]

Thanks for these reviews man! I'm sure you would get more views and subs if you made shorter videos, but that is precisely the reason why some of us come to your channel. I love seeing extensive reviews!

[@michaelmartinez5472]

Loved this Review! Very in-depth. Im going to get this as its perfect for what i need, Thank you

[@cidalberto]

I Have bought the HDR- AS50. and I have solved the sound problem, there is a foam in the divecase that covers the microphones, it is not for the impermeability, it is made to avoid the camera movement inside the case, but if you cut a part in one of the places where the microphones goes, it still doesn't move, but now you hear when you film with the case, and of course it is still impermeable. I did it and it really works

[@ivanot88]

Wanderfull review as usual!

[@RemoteNine]

Thank, nice work Mark appreciate what you do for the action cam comunity

[@UKAirscape]

Excellent review; thanks. Especially pleased you bothered to mention the non-US frame rates, many other reviewers don't :-)

[@maximme]

thanks for great review, you do one of the BEST action cam review on youtube

[@BAdventures]

Great detailed review. The AS50 package with remote and tripod is not even released in Australia yet. So I got the AS200. Had the AS50 kit been available in AU I would have got it. The flat lens underwater case, standard tripod mount threads, and new LRV3 remote finally address the past frustrations (fails).

[@alessiodom]

Thanks from Italy! Nice review

[@sablinger]

great video; very useful information. One question: as the cam is no longer splashwater-proof without the housing… did you film your snowboarding without or with the underwater housing? I´m asking because there was actually relatively good sound of the shredding on the slopes. Thanx!

[@alesta53]

Thanks for the video.I have the same action cam together with new x3000r and i m really happy with both.

[@exferrofides]

I really loved your review. Thanks

[@dennisolof9994]

Great review, the only drawback is the missing microphone jack. This is a action camera so having that option is important.

[@curtguru]

Can you syc and turn on multiple as50's at the same time with the remote?

[@EliAviator]

I have just purchased it for aircraft cockpit video. Nice choice! Good quality!

[@KyleMisko]

Thanks for the video! Do I understand correctly that to record with HD XAVC S - I need a 64GB Memory Card?
