Title: Outstanding vlogging handycam
Review: 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.

Title: I absolutely love this camera!
Review: 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.

Title: Major Step Up..
Review: 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!

Title: Good camera
Review: 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.

Title: 3 Months of casual Use -ìt's Fantastic!
Review: 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.

Title: Garbage
Review: After the 30 day return window closed I started getting “data error” messages right in the middle of recording. Priceless moments I trusted to this camera were lost because it glitched out. Spends more time recovering data than recording. I barely used this camera. Maybe an hour of recording since bought “new” in July 2023. Now it is a $1000 dollar piece of garbage. Amazon was of no real help.Save your money and buy a Canon or Panasonic. This is a glitch driven piece of garbage.

Review: For the price this camera is certainly not worth it. The viewfinder is terrible to use in bright light conditions so If you are looking for an outdoors camera, forget this one! You can’t see anything on the viewfinder in sunlight. My phone is much better! The AX 43A has a much better LCD which I believe is better for outdoors. I don’t even know why Sony made this camera. If you can’t use a camera outdoors then what’s the point ? I can us my phone.Also… it has a small sensor so shooting in low light conditions is really bad.The camera is very heavy and bulky due to 3 axis Gimble.Only has one memory slotCamera for vloggers!!Panasonic camcorders are better value for money.
