Our Verdict

Sony RX0 II

GoPro HERO10 Black

If you're looking for an action camera, the GoPro HERO10 Black is a better choice than the Sony RX0 II. Though it isn't as ruggedly built and doesn't give you as much control over settings and focus, the GoPro gives you more frame rate and resolution options and better video stabilization.
