The AS200V is one of the few action cameras to provide digital image stabilization and it works well.The 2019-W Lowell National Historical Park America the Beautiful Quarter honoring Massachusetts made headlines when it became the first of 10 W-mint-marked quarters circulating from the West Point Mint. Sony's Natural color mode is more subdued and closer to GoPro's, but the Vivid mode produces better photos and video straight from the camera. See how Sony's default mode compares to GoPro's (in the Hero 4 Black model). I tested the AS200V along with the GoPro Black, which shoots identical1080P video to the GoPro Silver. (GoPro has four field-of-view settings: Superview, Ultrawide, Medium and Narrow.) I prefered the extra coverage of 170 degrees, which is also a good match to the GoPro Hero 4 Silver (and Black) default Ultrawide mode. The AS200V has two field-of-view settings: 120 and 170 degrees. The AS200V adds enough contrast to make video and photos look sharp, without obscuring fine detail. The camera defaults to Sony's Vivid color mode, which displayed the rich greens of the Marin Headlands north of San Francisco during a mountain biking trip and lush blues in the sky over Brooklyn. Whatever its other shortcomings, the AS200V's image quality goes a long way to make up for them.
