  • 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

  • Impressive camcorder
Style: Camera Only (Updated Version)
Very impressed with the Sony camcorder. The image stabilization is very good. Optical and digital zoom is also very good. The user interface is simple and easy to use. The video capture is beautiful. Low light or full summer light, the image quality is great. One feature I really like is the opening of the viewfinder window that automatically turns the camera on. The audio capture is good. So much better than using a mobile phone for video capture. Great video camera. Highly recommended! Update This camera absolutely crushes what a camera phone can do! Super wide angle to super zoom. And it fits in the drink holder! Absolutely fantastic! ... show more

  • Major Step Up..
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
I needed a better camera for my video projects after spending a bunch on low quality cheaper products. I finally decided to stop trying to find a cheap solution and happened to come across this camera. I didn't need a DSLR so I went with the camcorder unit as video is my prime focus. My son is a professional photographer and he swears by Sony products so I knew I would be getting good quality. I have pretty bad shaky hands due to essential tremors so a gimbal and stabilization is a must and boy this thing really steps up in that way. Steady video finally! I also managed to snag a reduced price through Amazon on a unit that had been returned with "minor cosmetic damage". I didn't care and I'm still trying to find that damage. A good deal became a great deal. Very happy! ... 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

  • There is no Night Shot button; Not good for ghost hunting
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
I purchased this Handycam Camcorder with the intent to use it on paranormal investigations. I charged it up and inserted a SD Card. Wanting to test out the Night Shot function, I realized there was no button where it would be normally located behind the flip out view screen. I searched the menus, screen and the instructions there is no Night Shot. I purchased this on the answer from Sony Support USA about the availability of Night Shot, but now I'm disappointed and have to go to the trouble of returning it. Otherwise, it's a nice camera and the stabilization (Balanced Optical Steady Shot) is great with the gimble, but without the Night Shot it's useless to me and not worth the money. It does fall short of my expectations since there is no built-in memory and only one card slot. My old DVC and mini VHS tape Sony Camcorders at least had Night Shot. This is step backward for the ghost hunting community. ... show more

  • Outstanding vlogging handycam
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
This camera is great for both remote vlogging and studio recording. Both image quality and sound quality are excellent. Zoom and autofocus are outstanding, as you would expect from the Sony brand. My main purpose is studio vlogging with live streaming to YouTube, for which this AX43 does a very solid job. ... show more

  • Great overall, but no viewfinder.
Style: Camera Only (Original Version)
This video camera takes superb videos, and has great features. My first day using it I took video in bright sunshine after a snowstorm....I was not able to see what I was recording because the screen was black. I tried shading the screen, but it made no difference. The only time I was able to view the screen was when I was in my vehicle. Most of the time I am able to view the screen when recording outdoors, yet in intense sunshine I cannot see the screen. I was very disappointed having to return this camera because it overall captures beautiful video. I just need a viewfinder for those times when viewing the screen is difficult. ... show more
