![Sony 4K FDR-AX100E Camcorder [Unboxing and Review]](/img/1.gif)
This is an excellent video. The best part is the practical tests like actually going outside and zooming, but for me the running part is the best. I have a train that shakes my house quite a bit and need the best stabilization to deal with this. Thank you.
Great little review between two beast camcorders. Thank you 🙂
Great video always enjoy watching your video have a great day
Great little review thank you for this jordan
Great information. Great review. Thank you.
Es un tremendo aporte el que usted hace y le agradezco mucho la traduccion al español, porque yo no entiendo el ingles............Muchas gracias y me aclaro un monton de dudas que tenia hacia esta camara......abrazos
Good , short , straight forward review . Thanks :)
Thanks! That was really helpful.
Thank you for this review
I have had a AX33 for over 5 years. Its still my primary, though I am considering the AX700 as a next step. To me the AX43, which came out after the AX53, is nothing but a neutered AX53.
Wow great review & comparo
Great review. I know now that I want the 33 for the viewfinder. I film in bright daylight and need the shaded viewfinder and I film in the dark so I need the nightshot.
ive just got the sony ax33 and it is still the best
Great video! What are the options for the picture styles? Can you adjust the colour, hue, saturation, brightness in the settings? Or is the log picture profile?
Hello 😀 thank you for this Video. But I have one question, can the Camera (ax43) film wenn the display is closed. I mean when i only press the rec button.
Thank you
Great help. Thanks.
Fantastic review thank you. :-)
Thank you so much! 🔥😊
excellent video
Sony AX53 All the way!! but I would love a new version to have 4K 50p/60p I would then upgrade
43 is the exact same internals as the ax53 but an upgraded lcd
@@peteyabit9488 without a viewfinder and without nightshot. So a big downgrade for me.
4K for 1K, yes!
We're very happy with this little gem!
We use it for our MMA events... And we're buying a second one. Professional quality video.
The only downside, I have big hands, which makes it difficult to navigate the buttons.
Hi can you tell us the intelligent active mode 1080p on ax43? if its as advertised while walking, running etc? been waiting for an ax43 review for awhile now!! great video!
nice, good work sir 👍
Thank you so much awesome
Hello Jordan, would u check out the new Amazon Fires?
Thanks for the review. You convinced me to buy a Canon HF-G40. Better color and sharper images, less noise in darker areas, even without 4K. And I'm a Sony fan, but...! I also dislike the problems with cracked bottoms after using standards.
A few years ago I had a CX730 and I remember the Super Steady Shot always made a little correction after panning. Very irritating.
Do both of these have clean hdmi output? For obs. I’m bit of a newbie with cameras and would really appreciate the help. Thanks rich
You stated you can add the wide angle lens to the 33 which is a plus. But you loose the extra zoom that the 43 has. Any zoom upgrades for the 33?
If you ever find yourself in Japan (or find it online) the FDR-AXP35 is well with a buy. Its an AX33 with a built in projector and 64 gigs of internal storage along side the SD card slot.
Hi Jordon , Can you tell me whether FDR-AX43A supports the shooting grip GP-VPT2BT. This shooting grip is with Bluetooth. Thanks.
I just bought this cam and SUPER excited!!!
Best wishes
@@cottoneyejoe7776 thanks man🙏🏿!!!
when using the EVF, does it look like looking thru a tube and seeing a screen?
Thanks for this review. Just thought that AX43 was older than AX53. Confusing names. I need to record interviews and presentations, maybe some sport matches. So probably I don't really need the viewfinder and AX43 is cheaper. Only one question: for the uses I said, AX43 is a safe choice? There are cameras around this price (like any Lumix, Canon) that works better? I don't usually take a lot of photos, I record much more, so i have this dilemma.
Presently, there is only a $80 difference between the AX 43 and the 53.
Which one would you get ?
I enjoy your videos very much.
I wish I could see the same testing with the ax43 vs the ax700
In which country is this camera made? Please let me know
Do both these cameras use USB-C to charge or are they micro usb?
hat scan disk would you recommend for AX43 for long hour videos
5:35 The 33 *has* an inbuilt gimbal
😃 i love this cam
I'd prefer the ax33 if I had to choose a little coz the view finder I'd also love that sony camera I jus bought a 90 dollar Sanyo fh1 of eBay I've never had a camera before so hopefully that'll be all the camera I need for the moment I'm still a novice
allo ... When I use the AX43 on livestreaming, after 4 minutes without mouving, the sreen goes in standby.... I have to move all the time. Sony says to remove the battery , the card, nothing works... would you know ? thank you very much in advance fot any help.
Great review Jordan thank you
Hi!
What is your opinion on using any of these camcorders for streaming? I already have a7sii which I'd use as wide shot cam (because of lens lacking zoom range), but looking for for a 2nd cam with powerful zoom to make mid to close-up shots.
Any thoughts on pairing a7sii with ax33/43?
Thanks!
I think the biggest thing with using a camcorder like this for streaming is just to make sure you have plenty of light. The AX33 footage gets a bit grainy even in medium lighting. I still use it for my overhead shots, though.
Great level of detail in this video. I'm in the market for a camcorder for my RUclips channel.
1) wide ane lense (or the option to add)
2) wireless mic function
3) flip viewfinder (preferred non gloss screen)
4) good low light capabilities
Any suggestions please 🙏
Did you find any? Looking myself
?
Hello, does it have Sony night shot?
gosh. subscribe. thanks to your vid. i just bought a axp55 model which seams like same line up with those two cam. and i found it makes a very quiet fan sound.(like coolers in laptop. "huooooooo" like this.) when i turn on the cam in really quiet place i can hear that . after i found your vid and i hear almost same sound at 08:38. can you notice that fanny sound? ax43 seems more bigger. can you hear this sound when you face close your turned on cam? this sound is almost unnoticable but i am a bit worring if is not normal. hope this sound is some sort of stebilizer or cooling sound which is normal. this cam is all for me.
I confirm that this camcorder (ax53/ax55) humming while turning on. Don't worry it's normal bro
Does it make sense to "upgrade" my AX53 to this one?
No. It's just a newtured ax 53
33 looked better indoors and the 43 outdoors.
hi im confused great video so whats the name of the lens you put on the AX33 TO MAKE IT WIDESCREEN PLEAS?
the link is below the video
Great review! i read that the non nightshoot in AX43 is because is better in low light... but...
No.
Can i use a Rode Videomicro on this camera?
Do they take the same battery
Love sony.
So it's not real upgrade from Ax33?
i just bought ax33 for 200 usd . 2 days ago i hope it will work for my youtube.
Does it send power to the microphone or does the microphone need its own battery?
The microphone I was using doesn’t take a battery. It can work completely from the Sony multifunction shoe.
Glad I kept my x33
how to connect my saramnic blink 500 pro??? thanks
What camcorder would be ideal for mainly low-level lighting or shadow focused filming?
Probably something with a much larger sensor. The AX33/43/etc. has a 1/2.3" sensor, where the AX100/AX700 have 1" sensors. They're more expensive, of course. Sony made a Full Frame camcorder for a while, which was much more expensive
Can it shoot 1080p 60fps
Does it shoot pictures?
Where it’s make where your shop please
Seems like stabilization is better on 43. Would you use any of these over a Sony zv1 for RUclips reviews? Nobody uses a camcorder anymore why though? Is there something I'm missing?
Anything is better than a ZV-1; I have two (bought at the same time) - that's why I'm going back to camcorders.
Where do I get the SD card?
If you want a better comparison with a mirrorless camera - compare them with a Sony FDR-AX700 4K HDR
Does the AX43 work with Elgato Camlink? (the ax33 and the ax53 do work, but can't find info about this one). Thanks for the review, excellent coverage of both cams!
Sorry, I didn't think to test that while I had it. I had to ship the camera back to Sony about a month ago.
@@JordanKeyes I can't seem to find the info. thanks anyway!
I use my new ax43 with the CamLink 4k.
Interesting that Camcorder still exist! Are there any limitations of duration when filming in 4K? Like 30min on my Sony A6300.
I don't believe there's a limit, other than your card storage limit. I've never seen my AX33 overheat and turn off.
Not only is there no limits on record time but you can get bigger battery for this camcorders sony has up to 10hr battery for this model
There is no limited, which makes these forms of cameras perfect if you are, for example, recording concerts or weddings.
The sound quality sounds better on the Ax33
Well, I just got the 43 as a Christmas gift, not really bummed, I feel extremely fortunate to have it. But great video and very informative. Thanks 🙏🤘
It's still a great camcorder, hopefully it works out really well for you!
Good morning ☀️🌞🌞 Nepal
You're right two biggest negatives are no manual ring and no viewfinder. AX33 is the bomb.
Still using the AX33 for my overhead shots, definitely a solid camera. I thought about upgrading to something like the AX700, but I'm not convinced that it would be worth it.
@@JordanKeyes ty for your time to review them .
For the price they perform very good
.... i dont use 4k so the 1080p is nice also
My AX-33 (basically the same cam) just broke after 2 years - the camera has this shitty USB cable sticking out of the side of the cam that plugs into the handrest while not in use in the computer. The thing gets used and moved back and forth so often (as you will use it) that the cable plastic has weathered and torn, and the wires inside are sticking out/frayed/broken (at the part where it attaches to the camera). I hope for Sony's next range of camcorders in this style they remove and replace this USB connection style completely so that, either it is an ultra-tough cable, or there is no cable at all but perhaps a port instead.
How does the AX43 connect to PC? Cable different?
I use the viewfinder a LOT on the AX-33, especially on sunny days (you can't see the image on the flip-out LCD screen in birght sun)
Hey, thanks for sharing. I really don't like the exposed battery 😤
That's actually an advantage. This way, you can add a larger battery and get a whole heap of recording time.
@@robiulahmed and easier to change a battery!
Ehm why
Anyone on here tell me, can you set full manual exposure settings with the AX43? With the previous one if you chose Shutter speed, the camcorder chose the iris setting and visa-versa. Can the AX43, being all touch screen adjustment now allow full manual control again?
6:05 I talked about that in the video. Only one setting at a time can be controlled, just like the AX33. Not a fan of that.
@@JordanKeyes Thanks, Think I'll go for something else, really need full manual control, I'll look at the Panasonic range.
What about able to make the background blur? dose she has portrayed mode with blur background?
People remember!! This is not 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. Better to buy ax53.
Oh that’s pretty use info to have. I am in Japan, and looking through videos on RUclips and the model names are different. I was under the impression the AX43 was the same as the Japanese AX45 just without internal storage.
Can I use the Sony XLR K3M Mic Kit for my Sony AX43 4k camcorder?
From the Sony site, it says it will work, but with restrictions. Specifically, "Set "DIGITAL/ANALOG switch" to "ANALOG".", meaning it won't work in the digital mode, but it is supposed to at least be usable.
@@JordanKeyes Thank you very much for the info.
I have been researching the Sony AX43, AX53, AND AX700 FOR A WEEK. Based on my research today I decided to purchase the AX43, but alas the price has increased by over $200.00. This camera was released in 2016 so why has the price increased?
Huh?
Chip shortage
I am not able to view the LCD in moderate sunlight, anyone else?
Do you get any black circles on your ax33 witht the adapter, Can you confirm that with the stead shot enabled you don't get the dark corners please .I have bought several for my ax53 and I have black corners which is annoying. Also can you provide a link to the add on lens at the end of your video please
I just tested the AX33 with the adapter I'm using, and with Steadishot Off, Standard, and Active I don't see any dark corners. Here are the 2 adapters I bought:
amzn.to/2Y2Q8eF ($12.71, I apparently paid $16) and amzn.to/3aGpv1y (Neewer, I paid $22 for it, but apparently it's not available anymore).
The Neewer lens is a 0.35x fisheye, so I get a black circle around the image, and I have to zoom in, and still end up with dark corners occasionally.
The lens I'm using without problems is 0.43x, and was sold by DSLRDEPOT (looks like they have it for $8 + $5 shipping).
I might do a follow-up video on these 2 adapters, if there's interest.
@@JordanKeyes thanks for the reply, yeah the circles is what I get, so the one you don't get this one still fits your new ax43, strange that the update the one I have ax53 is called ax43, you would of thought it would of been AX33,AX43, the AX53 don't get these companies naming things in wrong order, you would think they would know what they are doing by now. But be good to see a follow up video man and see if the image is still nice and sharp, with it being such a cheap lens. I found this on my local amazon, sounds the same as yours only 72mm to fit my ax53 www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TS2GVBQ/?coliid=I3LBAJGOYWZSVH&colid=ERJR3JJVZEOB&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
On further examination, I saw a bit of dark corners with the 0.43x, with Standard Steadishot. Switched around between Active, Off, and Standard, and I'm having trouble getting it to have the dark corners again, but it's definitely possible. I think it depends on how close the face is the camera is tracking, and how fast you're moving it around.
@@JordanKeyes yeah I thought you might, thats why I wanted more info which you have kindy provided. It seems its possible no matter what lens you put on it, I found that if you turn steady shot on, then you get the wider shot without the black corners but then thats a great feature for the camera turned off, and thats one of the reasons I have it for the smooth footage you can get from it. Seems if I really need the wider shot for vlogging I may need to sell this one and get the new one maybe
I got this camera and recorded 4K video. I transferred the video to my iPad and a video looks very crappy. It took me two hours to film the movie and now I can't even put it on RUclips cuz it looks very bad.
Wait a minute... Did you say there isn’t a viewfinder?
correct. The AX33 has a pull out viewfinder on the back, over the battery. The AX43 does not.
The AX43........ Why? Just buy the 53 ! I Can't believe no viewfinder !
I don't see myself using a viewfinder very often
@@heavyglassglass I use mine all the time. Even on my little RX100 stills camera i use the viewfinder. Its the best thing in my opinion especially for framing and holding camera steady as well as good all days incl bright sunny days. But just my opinion 👍
No ring is the deal breaker for me.
With as high rate of unemployment, I don’t see sales being that great. If I was Sony I could cut the cost as low as they could just to get the Sony brand out there.
Prize how monny
Micro USB in 2020! Come on Sony!
24fps at 1080p is cinema documentary quality
Oke mister terimakasih infonya, salam kenal saya Iwan kumis,
The camera have different colors science. The color accurate is better on the Ax43.
It’s like the AX43 is a down grade compared to the AX33
i like the 33 better
Ax60! Not ax53 and not ax43.. 😄
Sorry of you finders in this essity especially when you're in the sunny environment I found view finders work great under sunlight so I'll out
BTW 4K at 30fps is a dealbreaker. Sorry sony!
Hindi tips diya karo
I owned a ax33 an sold it,to much noise,43 does. Ot look an better....panasonic beats both of them
It looks Good but for $800 bucks.no Thank You
Sony FDR-AX53 is not a 4K camcorder, only camera's with a combination 4K and min. 60 fps is usable as 4K camera.
The Sony fdr-ax53 is just a nice HD camcorder.
very small sensor, no nd filter, no picture profile - only sdr
fro same price zv1 is much better, but less focal range and worse stabilization, but much larger sensor
That's the dilemma I'm having - one of these things, the zv1 or an a6400. The advantage here is battery life and the fact it won't overheat.
ZV1 is trash, just as the 6400, both are TRASH!
