Will an action camera have a long battery life?

If you shoot a lot of videos, your battery life will be shorter. With normal use, most action cameras will give you about 120 minutes of battery life. If you're interested in an action camera with extended battery life, you might sacrifice some settings. Make sure you're getting all the settings you need.

What resolution is best for shooting outdoor sports with an action camera?

You can start shooting at ISO 400 and work your way up to ISO 1250 as weather conditions change, such as cloud cover, rain, or snow. If it's cloudy or the sport is played under artificial lighting, increase the ISO as you would on a traditional camera.

Is an action camera as good as a camcorder?

You may find a camcorder offers more options for taking videos. An action camera is more restrictive as far as the field of range. You can narrow the perspective with an action camera, which is ideal for some sports shooting.
