I've had the AX53 for 3+ years now, and even with a few of the areas where Sony has crippled it to remove full manual control, it's awesome. The internal gimbal is truly impressive too. The 4K isn't the best ever, but it's one of the very best 1080p video cameras you can get.

Thank you for this. I just dropped my camera on the floor TWICE today and it is making a terrible noise. Now I will take this as an excuse for an upgrade... I am getting the AX43 right now!

Thank you so much for this review. I have been using my Samsung Note 9 at 1080p 60fps. I did not want to purchase a mirrorless or a DSLR since they are quite big. Aside from the image stabilization I am really curious about the microphone without the extra mounted mic. Thank you for your response.

The EVF is the most important thing on a video camera for me! if you'r into sports or filming fast jets. I'm waiting for a AX53 replacement which does 50/60p in 4k with that incredible Image stabilization.

Hi Patrick. Thanks for the informative video. In your opinion, is there a noticeable difference in picture quality between the AX43 and AX700? I'd prefer the mobility of the AX43 but i'm concerned about sacrificing picture quality. I mainly shoot architecture.

@PMRTV

3 жыл бұрын

YES!!!!! The sensor size is the biggest difference. The AX700's image area is a full 1" sensor width--this will allow you to capture better low light footage and also enable you to knock out of focus pesky backgrounds too. the added feature of switchable ND internally in the AX700 makes it an obvious choice over the AX43. Last, the AX700 has S-log AND phase detect AF. I admit that the PD AF won't help you with architecture but it will give you ice cold confidence in your AF. Put more simply, the AX43 is a great camera for an amateur who wants pro quality with minimum effort, but the AX700 is really a hybrid camera that lives in the ether in between SONY's pro cinema line and the camcorders they make.

Thanks for sharing!

Looking for a camcorder to film my hunts and low light is usually when the magic happens. How much more useable time do you think I would have with the ax700 having the larger sensor. I see advantages there but I also see advantages of how yieldy and the gimble lens with the AX53. Let me know your thoughts!

When you say the AX43 has a gimbal are you referring to the BOSS system or is the gimbal something new in addition to that? I have the AX53, but was thinking of getting the AX700 plus a gimbal.

Great video! I was about to get the ax53, but I would never us the view finder so the ax43 makes more sense. What memory card would you recommend? if you have an affiliate link shoot it over. I'm going to buy the ax43, the shooting grip gp-vpt1 and the mic ecm-b1m

I appreciate this video a lot! I recently purchased a Sony a6600, but I'm considering a dedicated video device and knew nothing about the Sony camcorder line (what's new, features, etc.). What is the low light performance for the AX43 like? I originally thought about getting a gimbal for my a6600, but I realize that the size of it make it challenging when traveling so I wanted something easy to use that I can still edit on FCP. Also, with the built-in gimbal, is the stability as good as an external gimbal on it?

@PMRTV

4 жыл бұрын

dedicated camcorders are really easy to use but they lack the image quality of the aps-C and FF cameras. Low light performance is always tied to sensor size, so the ax43 will not perform as well because the sensor is so small. the ax700 has the 1" sensor which would be better than the ax43 but still not as good as the a6600. Hope this helps! patrick :)

The trains speed from 20mph to 70mph and I need auto focus. I plan on shooting from sun up to sun down, so during the day with very little low light situations except at sun up and sun down. The camera is going to be on a tri pod, so I won't have an issue with the gimbal. Will the AX43 do the job as far as catching trains at that speed and keeping them in focus and crisp/clear or do I need to look for a more advanced video camera? Thanks in advance.

Well the video cameras don't do to well with stills but the still cameras do gret with video... You might want to look at the a6500 and the 18-105mm f/4. This lens is cool as it has the electronic zoom control right on the side of the lens and it's a faster f/4 static aperture lens... This could be a good solution. You should also consider the RX10 series cameras--which are also great at video and will let you shoot at 24 fps for stopping action in stills!!! RX10III, or IV would be prime candidates...

Hi Patrick. I watched another video where the reviewer said that they are selling AX43 at the same price as the AX53 while increasing the price on the AX53. Do you experience this where you are?

Need some advice, I've been searching all over. I see you have experience with sony cameras and you have experience shooting indoors. I have an AX700 and a AX53 and I will be filming a birthday party indoors. My concern is grain. When you use these camcorders indoors you have to keep the iso or db low in order to reduce noise. How do you do it? When I double my shutter speed based on my frame rate it looks pretty dark. Where do you try to keep your db or iso? I'm kinda afraid to go above 12db. Should I keep it low and brighten in post or maybe go to 15db? Which is better? What are your sony camcorder indoor settings?

And so, is the internal mic high quality or is it much better with the attached exterior mic; whichever one? And could you explain the wi-fi. Is that to download the vids and can it be turned off and downloaded via a port? Not a fan of wi-fi as is damaging to our health and is everywhere. Don't need it on my camera too which is why I am not using a smart phone. Look forward to a response if have time as hoping to buy a camera this week.

Not to much information about it and not many people do reviews on these consumer spec handycams. I understand that AX43 is very similar to AX53 exept for the evf. Was looking into GoPro 8 before, mostly because of its image stabilization and small form factor. But when kitting up the GP8 with mediamod, and screen and maby also a external microphone its not that small of a form factor or durable anymore. Also GP8 lack zoom function. Anyway, you think there will be a successor to the AX53 like a AX73?

Thank you for the good review. I’m waiting for Sony to combine the built-in gimbal with a 1 inch sensor in a video camera.

Can you remotely trigger the AX43? Im a photographer and would like to set it up and shoot video from a single location while I move around.

I would love to know why no one seems to update camcorders anymore. I've been waiting for a 4K60 camcorder in the $500-1000 price range for about 6 years now. But every year all anyone seems to do is rebrand their 4K30 again. The Sony AX-53 came out very late 2015 / early 2016, are Sony really saying they have no better sensor and processor to make a new camcorder? So instead they just take something off the AX53 and then charge the same price as what you can already pick up the AX53 for anyway. If sales are down because mobile phones are stealing the market share its only because phones innovate every single year and manufactures haven't touched camcorders for 5 years. The AX53 was a great camcorder, but 5 years ago, come on guys what's going on. I'm not just having a go at Sony because Panasonic, Canon, JVC (did they go under?) all of them have just stopped innovating on camcorders it seems. They wouldn't need to spend that much money, keep the lens and OIS and body and everything else the same but at least update the sensor and processors and give us 4K60 on H.265. Bring it to at least the 2018's.

People remember!! This is not a new model of camcorder. That's worldwide release of Sony FDR-AX40 for asian market (without internal memory). AX43=AX40 AX60=AX53/AX55. Just check both manual - there are no differences

Can you please tell us about stabilization when the AX53 is on a tripod. It seems to disable itself after about 30 seconds.

It should. You are supposed to turn it off when using a tripod.

Did they take away the nightshot on the az43 since they took away the button?

Patrick, we are looking a camera for budget live streaming in Church. Typical traditional setting, high ceilings, traditional wooden decor, reasonably well lit. Based on budget it’s likely to be the ax43 or the a5100. Would you have a recommendation for one or the other, please? Thanks!

@PMRTV

because you will be streaming and that is your priority, I'd say ax43 for sure over the a5100. More options for the zoom and you get the built-in gimbal too

Convinced! Just 1 question: is there a dummy battery to plug it on AC current for longer indoor videos? I hate batteries

AC adapter is the same as the charging cable--included when you buy the camera...

Sir Could you be so kind to research what type of directional internal microphone is factory equipped on the Sony ax43 / ax53

@PMRTV

Жыл бұрын

the built-in mics on most all small sensor video cameras are simply not that great. You really want to use a shotgun mic for most things you might shoot. This is my opinion... The brand new mic that Sony just released is called the ECM-G1. At $149 USD, I think it is a fantastic mic to use on smaller form factor video cameras. I reviewed this mic in a more recent video- FYI.

It would be much easier for a video camera, especially for long-form recording over 30 minutes. I'd get the AX43 for sure and buy a couple of larger batteries for it. I've made recordings up to three hours in length in one shot--easy!

Does the Sony AX43 live stream?

I want the AX700 so much. I heard recently though that 1/2.3 sensor is the sweet spot for good looking skin tones. Not overly detailed but not lacking in detail. The 1 incher might be too detailed(?) hence why people use mist filters these days. Do you have anything to chip in about that? 🤔

I was using the XLRK3M with a Shure microphone that is wired to the XLR unit. works like a charm!

Those cameras are really fragile right, there its any kind cover to protect them meanwhile you using it? kinda like cover phones?

Good comparison, thank you. I did want to ask, and forgive me if this was covered in the piece; does the AX43 offer anything that the AX53 does not? The price difference alone isn't really enough to make me choose the 43, and so I'm leaning toward the 53 for now, but wanted to be sure there wasn't something else I missed about the 43 that would sway my decision. Thanks!

the AX43 offers better processing of video off the chip. In the time that has passed between the 53/43, Sony doesn't stay the same--43 is better IMHO.

@PMRTV

That's a tough one. An a7S will give you the eye candy you are used to but when you go to any of the camcorders, everything will be in focus. If you have the money, the FX9 will give you both worlds but you could buy 5- a7III's for the cost of one of those. There is a rumor that Sony will be coming out with an FX6. This is what I'm kind of waiting for...

of the three, only the AX700 has the larger sensor (1"). So the best one is always going to be the most expensive. Here are my affiliate links to the AX700: amzn.to/39uFZwI. and at Bedfords (get 5% off and pay no tax by using the code PMR at checkout) www.bedfords.com/27242908475

So i am look at this cam and the canon hf g50. I want to use them as zoom meeting webcams. Now i noticed the bitrates are different. Canon is 35mps and the sony is 50mps at 1080p 60fps. Will thre end up being a difference in discernable image quality?

@PMRTV

4 жыл бұрын

not for your purpose, but once you crank it up to 4K or even shoot FullHD and then edit, there would be a difference. the Sony Codec (XVAC-S) is excellent and this is a big reason to shoot Sony (mp4) vs. the more ancient codec Canon uses (mov). MOV files take up massive space on hard drives and are heavier to edit with, stressing your computer's processor.
