Photography Skillset

Keeping it simple - For someone who is not too bothered about technicalities, this Sony device works!

Video skill level

Just a beginner - Whether you're just starting to develop some expertise or you only record videos from time to time, then the Sony HDR-AS15 will satisfy your needs..

Video Scenarios

Streaming video live is a great way to share your experiences and this camera from Sony provides a couple of connectivity options to help you with this.

Recording every moment of the day's events is precious and this device certainly delivers. 

Its always great to capture moments of delight at home or while spending time with family and friends on an outing. For this, the Sony HDR-AS15 is a great companion to have.

Rough and Tumble - It's rugged and built for the outdoors. As such you won't have to worry about getting splash of water on it nor if it gets the odd bump now and then.

Other Video needs

Slow motion recordings add an extra dimension of fun and entertainment. This camera comes with an in-built setting that enables this mode.

If you're looking for that silky-smooth rendering of your videos, this camera has got it as its able to handle 120 FPS at 1080p resolutions.

Low light recording can be tricky, however this camera has got what it takes to help you through that. This is because its minimum aperture number combined with it's maximum ISO sensitivity can produce crispy images with minimal noise.

Because you are keen to show the action from your perspective, the build and form factor of the HDR-AS15 is a good fit your needs.

Photo Scenarios

There are times when you just want to take simple but great photos of things around you without bothering too much about camera settings. For that purpose, the HDR-AS15 is a really good choice. 

Actions shots are for more engaging than people posing for a photograph at events. The Sony HDR-AS15 comes with Auto Focus Tracking which helps ensure people in motion still look sharp in your photos.

Taking photos while underwater is a lot of fun. You'll be able to bathe the subject of your photograph with the colours and hues only found when taking shots in an aquatic environment.

Sometimes while on sightseeing or on a tour, you can only observe things from a distance. Which is why the zoom capability on this camera comes in handy in that situation.

To capture mother nature in her full beauty requires a good eye and a camera that can adequately handle landscape scenarios. This model from Sony is good fit as it's got the ability to focus on multiple parts of your picture frame.

Other considerations

During wet weather, not all cameras can cope with the odd splash or two. Fortunately, this device from Sony is sufficiently resistant to water to protect it from rain and drizzles.

Transferring your shots from your camera to another device is made even more convenient with the in-built Wi-FI capability of this camera.

Underwater photography is beautiful and you'll want a camera able to handle such wet conditions. Good thing the Sony HDR-AS15 is waterproof up to a depth of 60m m metres.

Style

It comes in an unconventional package that stands out from the typical greys and blacks that are common with such devices.

It looks simple, capable and doesn't stand out in any particular way.
