Sony's Action Cam Mini packs just as much power in two-thirds the size
While some users might not love everything about Sony's current adventure camera lineup, you can hardly fault the Action Cams for being too large. Still, when size and weight really matter, such as when you're mounting a camera on a helmet or a drone, it certainly wouldn't hurt to shave off an inch or two. That's exactly what Sony's done with its Action Cam Mini, which replaces the AS100V we first met at CES with a camera that's two-thirds the size. Fortunately, you won't have to compromise on image quality, and all of the former model's accessories work with the Mini, too.
Sony Action Cam update brings live streaming to older cameras this summer
Existing Action Cam owners will net two of the AS100V's banner features through a software update. The most significant addition, live streaming, will enable real-time video uploads to sharing sites like Ustream through a connected smartphone or tablet. Sony's also adding a high-speed continuous shooting mode, letting you snap a "limitless" number of high-res stills with previous-gen Action Cams. Expect both new features to make their way to your compatible shooter sometime this summer.
