One other note is that the camera's housing uses 1/4" tripod thread, and the camera itself has a smaller threading with an adapter for 1/4x20. The bare camera with adapter has its tripod attachment at the balance point, but in the housings, the regular housing and especially the underwater housings are front-weighted--something to consider if you're considering something like the new and compact StabylCam stabilizer. It works great out of the housing, but in the housing (since I was working around salt water), you might notice I was having a little trouble with it bobbing forward.
6 months later edit:
Still very happy with my little camera. I'm always so annoyed when people ask, "what kind of GoPro should I get?" and I try to explain that GoPro is not the only game in town. I'm still glad I got the Sony and not the GoPro. Here's the only caveat now: I noticed that the price of this camera has nearly DOUBLED since I bought it, and now it's the same price as an equivalent GoPro. Usually the price of electronics goes down after the initial release. I'm led to believe that Sony may have artificially lowered their price to break into the GoPro competition, and now their price is back where it should be. If that's the case, then I have to admit, the marketing move worked--here I am espousing their product as a really good deal compared to GoPro, but now the playing field is more equal. It's still weird that this version is now the same price as Sony's 4k version, something strange is going on with the price. Maybe they discontinued this model?
I finally got my first one back from Precision Camera (Sony's repair shop). It is finally fixed, it just took me reaching out for help from the better business bureau.... 6 months is what it took for them to finally fix it. That is 6 months of me not having the camera, that is 6 months of my warranty I will not get back. Now my second camera is doing the same thing. Needless to say, I am not waiting 5 months to get help to get this one fixed.
Avoid the camera and buy something different.

The Action Cam has everything the Hero 3 didn't have and has many more things than even more recent GoPros don't have.
It has an easy to use interface, excellent color accuracy, great image stabilization, decent battery life, compatible MP4 files usable without conversion, a kickass live remote (available separately), GPS!, and excellent free video editor package which highlights the GPS capabilities like a way-point map and on screen speed display.
One accessory that is awesome is the case that turns the unit into a mini camcorder.
The only thing I don't like is the tendency to show a red dot on the video which comes from the interaction of direct sunlight and the internal lens coatings. I'm experimenting with some options to remedy that, which involve not using the standard case that comes with it.
