  • EXCELLENT and Great Value!
Style: Camera Only (Updated Version)
I bought three of these for my video students, and now I'm getting more. I've found that my students are nervous to use "the nice cameras." or more professional and quality cameras. I think they are intimidated by buttons and features. I bought these as a stepping stone or segway to higher end gear and it has worked perfectly! They immediately see how great the picture quality is, and increased features and control-ability, without getting overwhelmed or confused. There are many capture formats, frame rates, codecs and more. The battery life is very impressive. The menu is easy to navigate. The sensor allows for high quality images. I'm happy and the price is right, especially compared to similar models by competitors. ... show more

  • This camera is the one you want, not those knock offs
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
Yes its a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. Sony is a name brand that provides top shelf items. meaning its great. True Color 4K, real ZOOM thats clean and crisp! , no pixel crap in your video, true image coloring. usb and dc power options, mic input, hdmi out, i have a 512G samsung Pro Ultimate SD card in there and its rocking at over 200MB/s wifi to a peer to peer to allow your phone to use it as a remote control, so you can remotly zoom pan focus, change features on the fly, Massive battery and its a big girl. look at the photo compare to my Cannon Vixia 1080P its replacing. comes with all cables, and 2 chargers, dc and ac , proprietary plug on the dc charger, but its WAY faster. you can use while charging, and swap batteries while on AC or DC power. DC power IS powered by AC but the power brick is big and converts it to DC for your battery fast charge. Anyway, its a great freaking camera, ive bought the cheaper chinese knock offs that say they are 4K, or 8K and there not. this is it. theres even a better model than this. but its like 1200.00 usd. this ran me 800$ and its great. ... show more

  • Reliable and high quality
Style: Camera Only (Updated Version)
I do storm videography and photography for a living. This is a great camera for me. The built in stabilization, autofocus, video quality are all great. And compared to the other cameras I have this one does the best in low light. Though audio quality is not great. You can easily attach a microphone to it. Over great camera for high quality footage. ... show more

  • Good camera
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
This is a nice camera. However, I had the AX-53 previously which is the upgrade from the AX-43. I like the AX-53 more. The 53 screen resolution is better and the handy eye piece/viewscope is essential for bright outdoor shooting since like most other LCD screens, it is washed out in the sunlight. It is also easier to track motion with that eyepiece than the LCD screen such as recording moving aircraft. If you're using the AX-43 for indoor video, it is certainly the better choice to save money. ... show more

  • 3 Months of casual Use -ìt's Fantastic!
Style: Camera Only (Updated Version)
This Sony was recommended to me by a professional Wedding Photographer. She said it tracks faces and focuses quickly so it is ready to point and shoot the image stabilization is better than a go pro because Go Pros actually crop the frame to achieve their stunning stabilization. So, you are losing about a third of the actual frame size. This camera gives you the nearly the full chip capacity and uses a built in Gambrel to help keep the image upright. It takes great still shots at the touch of the button and it's easier to transfer images, especially Videos, than from my Canon M-50. The M-50 stops recording video after about 30 minutes. That sucked on My Sons 2nd Christmas with set it and forget it I lost it! I have more money invested in the M-50 with extra lenses etc than this cost. Thinking about long term additional costs vs the slightly greater up front cost for the "Platform." The only thing I wish were better was the low light capabilities but I don't often have that problem just know the 4th of July party comming up is going to be limited to pre-fireworks time. ... show more

  • I absolutely love this camera!
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
The 30x optical zoom lens is outstanding! I can zoom all the way in to distant trees, and every leaf is crystal clear. The Wi-Fi connection works well, but it would be nice if it outputted HDMI while in this mode. 4K recording is stunning in detail and clarity. My only complaint is that it arrived with no documentation whatsoever. Packing error maybe? But easy enough to find manuals online. ... show more

  • Not worth the money
Style: Camera Only (Updated Version)
we have a 5 year old C@non camcorder. It's overall service is better. This one does give a better picture when you are in still shots. However while panning with the speed of a race car it is sub par video quality and goes out of focus.
