SONY has something in mind as regards periferials via a many pinned port... Will assume that it will allow an external monitor, the linkage to other ActionCams and who knows?
Connectivity
On the bottom of the Action Cam are four built-in ports. There’s a Micro HDMI cable for connecting the camcorder to an HDTV or monitor, a Micro USB port for copying files to a computer or for charging the battery pack, a Sony-proprietary connection port, and a 3.5mm external mic jack.
The Sony proprietary port is the most unusual, but the best way to describe it would be as a docking port or an accessory port. For anyone familiar with GoPro camcorders, this port on the Sony Action cam is just like the Hero port on GoPro models. For example, Sony has announced a Handycam Adapter accessory that fits into this port and provides the Action Cam with a rotating LCD. It’s assumed other accessories will make use of this port in the future as well.
On the bottom of the camcorder are four ports: Micro HDMI, Micro USB, a Sony-proprietary connector, and a 3.5mm external mic jack.
The Sony Action Cam comes in two versions: one with built-in WiFi (HDR-AS15) and one without WiFi (HDR-AS10). The model with WiFi has the ability to connect with Smartphones so you can use your phone as a remote viewfinder. The WiFi model also costs more: $269 vs. $199 for the model without WiFi.
The Action Cam with WiFi has a number of extra connectivity features.

I have the new Sony Action Cam.
Some features:
1. A very wide-angle lens - 15mm (35mm-equivalent).
2. It does interval recording - takes stills at intervals you set from 1 every 5 seconds to one every minute. The stills are 1920x1080, just like video frames. So you can do 1080p time lapse videos, leaving the camera on for hours as it snaps away.
3. It does half-speed slo mo at 60fps 720p and quarter-speed slo mo at 120fps 720p - HD slo mo.
4. With the built in wi fi you can control the camera from your iphone, ipad or android phone or tablet - you can change the settings, view what the camera sees, and start and stop shooting from your device over wifi (it is a direct connection, no need for internet access).
I found it has a clean HDMI out, so you could attach a high bitrate recorder to bypass the camcorders compression.
"Mark, do you know if the camera will operate and record while the battery is being charged? "
Absolutely, yes as long as the power supplied is about 1200mA and over. That is, it can't both charge and shoot when attached to a regular computer usb (only 500MA). I have shot 108030p video plugged in at 1200mA while charging.
