Each product has its unique features that can attract the customer. For example, Camsports cameras are attractive by their prices, and customers should not spend much money to get this product. Besides, the offered product is compact so that it does not take much place even if in a purse. Sony production attracts the attention of customers by its appearance: small, without any extra details that can make the use of the product difficult or problematic. Such characteristics are crucial for many female and male users, and the options offered by Sony are accompanied by a high quality of images and video material. Drift Innovation offers the camera that is small with such ability as a live view in the most convenient way. Finally, GoPro cameras help to capture the word from any perspective and offer high-quality images and videos in a short period. It does not matter what speed and conditions for shooting are.

Uniqueness of Competitors
The main uniqueness of the competition that takes place between GoPro, Sony, Drift, and Camsports lies in the possibility to unite comfort, speed, and quality at once. Despite the fact that GoPro usually takes the leading position in the marketplace, Sony continues making successful attempts to create a solid competition for the company (Rose par. 1). As a rule, all cameras can be used at daytime and at nights. It is not only interesting and comfortable. The process of shooting becomes an activity that captures all people regardless their age, gender, or other differences. Each competitor sets its prices and uses its own consumer database. In brief, it is possible to provide each camera with its own word:
- Sony – quality;
- Camsports – low price;
- Drift – innovation;
- GoPro – professionalism.
Each aspect has its own customer, and people are welcome to choose.
