Side by Side Comparison of Gopro Hero4 Silver vs Sony HDR-AZ1 HD

Sony AZ1 Light Weight Camera 61 grams with battery.

GoPro Hero4 Silver Weight Camera 90 grams with battery.

The missing ports from the AZ1 are the External Mic and HDMI out.

Micro SD Cards

SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card Speed Up To 80MB/s With Adapter- SDSDQX-064G-U46A

Make sure is says U1 at the top when you order it and NOT U3. U3 reads at a fast speed but writes at a slow speed. 30MBs

My speed test with the U1 was 91MBs Read and 53MBs write.

If you can’t find that card or Amazon keeps mailing out the wrong one, you can get this one at any local Best Buy.

For GoPro Hero4 Series I recommend going with the Lexar High-Performance MicroSDXC 633x 64GB
