The new Sony FDR-X1000V Action cam has been arriving to users and there is a lot to like.  For starters the image stabilization while “Digital only not optical” is excellent and something GoPro needs to include in it’s offerings.

S6vsM9

Looks like the rumors got it wrong again in regards to the 240fps for the Samsung Galaxy S6.  They did however hit it with the 720p at 120fps slow motion mode for both the Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 phones.
