Tengo la sony fdr ax700. Vale la pena cambiar por la Z90?
I'm actually curious about the top handles. I was wondering if any of the top handles included with these other camcorders can go onto the Sony AX700. Would there be any issue? Would the xlr inputs work at all? I purchased an AX700 after saving up for a while, and I'd definitely like a top handle like the other two with xlr inputs to make it easier to place my microphones, and do low shots.
Thank you! Great video!
no, the only way to get XLR's into the AX700 is through the Sony XLR-K3M. There are no 1/4-20 taps, or any way to attach a handle, but you could rig something from below, I think but it would add bulk and. alittle weight to the whole thing. It would be easier to just buy a Sony Sony PXW-Z90V instead. You'd get the same AF performance and speed of AF as well as the handle and XLR's.
Why are you shooting at such a thin DOF that we can't see the cameras for 90% of the video?
Agreed. Honestly this is a terrible trend that started in the past couple years ever since full frame cameras started coming out with articulating screens and DPAF. There are few creative situations that you should ever shoot with a DOF like this and a product demonstration is not one of them. Hopeful the obsession with bokeh will die out in a few years but with Apple releasing that stupid cinematic feature on their iPhone we might be just at the start of this.
@@simons2155 this nonsense is already considered a marriage of shooting more and more. As for this video, you still need to consider what could not be enough sensitivity for a closed aperture
@@csamd9049 I doubt the ISO is an issue here. I see some kind of key light umbrella in his glasses and even ignoring that the ISO can be raised pretty high without issue. He's obviously not shooting in the dark here.
@@simons2155 to achieve a good picture here without a cloudy background, you need to reduce the F aperture to F11-12 if the FullFrame sensor and in such conditions, even with lighting, there are big problems, on FullFrame shooting with a nasty muddy background is obligatory and you cannot get rid of it in such conditions
I doubt any technicality is at issue, I think he was following the trend and opened as wide as his lens would allow. But, my god this is a product demo with the products defocused. Its not a portrait session. I could care less about him standing off of a blurred background and it was truly hard to watch the whole thing.
Just finished watching your video and thank you for your thoughts. Please excuse all of the questions that I have on this one. I heard that the AX700 has been discontinued, but I can't find anywhere to confirm that. Do you know? I presently use the AX43 to take videos of trains that move between 5 mph 70 mph. I need to be able to use a shotgun microphone to cut out car/other noises behind me as I film the trains. I would like to stick with 4k and I like working with Sony video cameras because I like the AX43 (the inputs for the shotgun mic and the attachment to slow down the zoom aren't working and I'm not sure how much Sony would charge to fix those inputs). Should I try and have Sony fix the AX43 or just upgrade? Does the Z90V accept a shotgun mic and will it attach to a tripod? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Have a good day.
Thanks for the explanation! 🤓
AX700 seems to be the way to go for a Wedding & Event Shooter.
One of the few of this size & style that have the option of flatter Picture Profiles for those Sunny Outdoor weddings.
yes!
Which would be better for storm chasing?
AX700 on sale $1300 or Z90V at $2700.
I’m open to either if it works the best.
Weather, lower light, window/dash mount, time lapse, various situations.
Thank you for your time.
for what you are shooting, I don't think there would be much advantage using the Z90V. the big advantage there would be audio but not video as they are about the same for that. If you really need the best audio capture as well as the footage, then Z90V.
I am using a sony ax700 to broadcast live soccer matches. But I feel the focusing speed is very slow. The image is not clear. I don't know where I installed it wrong. Can you advise me to have a standard settings parameter. Thanks
can you give me more info about your resolution in your setup? Are you shooting in 720P in your stream or 1080P? pat
Ax700 camcorder I'm in automatic mode and the live yolobox pr I'm configuring the output is 1080p
Thank you for this video! I’ve been searching for a more modern Sony camcorder since the nx3/nx5 is getting dated. Mc88 perfect for what I do and the comparison to the others was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks I wish I'd seen this about a year ago. I work for a newspaper doing digital marketing (meaning I shoot stills and video for the paper). I do lots of news/sports stories for the paper and they bought a camera they thought was overkill but as I have found out not having a handle (seems simple right?) and not having XLR connection for mics (only 3.5mm input in the Canon Vixia HF G50 is a massive problem.
I'm making it work but it's really not what they should have bought. For only about $200.00-300.00 I could have gotten that MC88 and had a MUCH better basis. We're only doing 1080p which as you mentioned is really good enough for Facebook posts and RUclips for most people.
I'm not doing cinema work so 1080 is perfectly adequate for me.
bummer....
I have been using a Sony FDR-AX100 to record plays and concerts at our local school. Especially with the plays, I often find that I struggle with white balance, with people's faces being washed out by the lights, etc. I am an amateur, and I am not particularly in control of the lighting. Do you think that I might get better results with stepping up to a newer camera like the Sony PXW-Z90V, or could I solve my issues by studying my camera harder, color editing, or something else? I know this is probably a somewhat poor question, but I would appreciate your thoughts if you are still monitoring this video's comments. Thank you for the nice video!
Washed out faces on your AX100 are caused by not using manual exposure control. If you find this feature, you will be able to fix that problem right off. It is not a poor question, but rather an excellent one. It also means that you have found the limit of automatic exposure, and the next thing is to turn it off and start controlling your exposure without it. You are just growing as a shooter is all. This is to be commended.
Pat perhaps you can help me with an odd HXR-MC88 problem. I use two of these with an ATEM mini pro to stream video of our church's worship services. The issue I have is that the LANC port on either camera does not seem to work. Oddly, if I plug an Sony RM-VPR1 into the Multiport I can control the lens zoom. Sony's support team has not helped solve this issue. They are sure a LANC controller will work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
that's weird. I can confirm that the AX100, AX700 both work great with off-brand zoom controllers... have you tried different cables?
Thanks Pat for the presentation. Hope you can help me overcome a challenge that I am having. It relates to wireless transmission from the AX-700 with an external monitor attached, to an ATEM Mini Pro using a Nyrius Aries Pro. When I attach the transmitter to the monitor's output ( monitor's input is connected to the AX-700), there is no signal at the ATEM. When I connect the transmitter to the AX-700, it takes sometime to connect to the receiver, and then there is intermittent dropping of signal. I do not have that issue when the transmitter is connected to a Canon 90D. Thanks.
not sure about this, I'm sorry. I know that we are using an ATEM mini at church with a $90 HDMI transmitter/receiver thing that i was sure wouldn't work, and it does. We are using it with a Sony AX53 camera which would be the same as the AX700? Wish I had better info for you and your problem???
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I’ve been trying to find a good camcorder to use for filming airshows and indoor/outdoor events etc, but I’m not sure which one would be the best choice, which one of these do you recommend for this purpose?
Definitely the AX700 because it has phase detect AF and you won't need a built-in gimbal for the smooth action of planes flying. The quality is better too so that when you get into post and editing, you will have a better image too.
@@PMRTV ok thank you
The MC88 take photos like the AX700?
I appreciate these comparison videos but also that you talk about features most don’t mention like the LANC jack allowing for remote control. I knew that some cameras had this feature but didnt know what it was called. But when I shop for cameras and view all “specs,” I don’t see LANC listed like on B&H under all specs for the Sony 700. Is it called something else when listed under specs? I would like to know which other cameras have this feature or not like does the Fdr ax40 have it? If I have a camera mounted above people’s heads, I would like to have control ability that I can still reach
Sony FDR-AX700 has LANC connector and it is great feature. Sony FDR-AX100 doesn't have it.
Solid video. Thank you and God Bless
Same to you!
I’m looking at the z90 for sports filming.
You mentioned that the next steep up would be to the FX6 but I curious to learn your thoughts on the Sony PXW Z190?
Thanks in advance.
It's time for a new camcorder and I think the AX700 is the way to go but need feedback please. I'm having a really tough time trying to figure out if any Sony model is worth the extra money versus the AX700. I don't need a handle and I don't need the SDI option. Everything seems to be built off the AX700 model whereas the grip setup of the HXR-NX80 doesn't seem to be worth the extra money, and I don't think the 5Ghz Wifi on the PXW-Z90 is worth the extra money (but as always I could be 100% wrong). I film live soccer games on a weekly basis, where the team then uses the film to breakdown and analyze the game. I typically set up the camcorder on a 10-20 foot tripod at center field. Image needs to be crisp, camcorder needs to adapt to cloudy and sunny days and night games under the lights, and on windy days the camera/tripod can shake a little regardless of the tripod being weighed or tethered down. Soccer can be quick paced at times and I need to be able to zoom when the ball/play is close to either end of the field. Any feedback/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
It sounds to me like you have already qualified the AX700 pretty well on your own. I think it would be ideal for your specific purpose.
@@PMRTV I placed an order for the AX700 (very excited). As I mentioned before, it'll be mounted on a 10-20 foot tripod. What's the best and easiest way to wirelessly/remotely view the live video feed if I'm out in the middle of nowhere? Not sure if I can use my cell phone as a hotspot and connect wirelessly to the camera via an app (for example)?
@@baldino.soccer you could just run an hdmi cable from the camera to the ground and then use a small 5" monitor to see what it's capturing. If you want to spend a little more $$, you could go for a wireless HDMI setup and you can see what the camera is recording from I think up to 300' away.
amzn.to/3tQAIZ5 this is an inexpensive setup but it does require power on both ends to work... they say 120' range but for $129???
@@PMRTV Hey Patrick, I just chatted with Sony and I kind of don't believe them about the following LOL. I bought the AX700 and I love it. But I do put it on a 20 foot tripod at times to record sporting events. I asked if there is a way to turn the camcorder on and off either remotely or through some kind of wired device, and they said No. I suggested the camcorder's remote, the Sony app (Imaging Edge), and asked for a wired option. I prefer not to drop the tripod during halftime for example just to shut off the camera, so hoping there is a logical option.
@@baldino.soccer I think you can get remote control thru LANC input and maybe get longer cable.
Is there any chance that you can make a video about the audio not with the xlr's but with the smaller connection that little round one cuz I got a handheld microphone and I also got a directional mic and I need to know how to use the audio a little bit better with just bringing it up and bringing it down cuz sometimes my hand hits on the buttons and stuff and but because of the controller it it gets me confused I'm also dyslexic so it's hard for me
The Canon XA75 better and newer than Sony PXW-Z90V 4K HDR XDCAM?
Thanks for the video.. What do you think about the AX700 for wedding videography ?
It's good if you are on a budget and can't afford larger and more expensive setups
I can't justify the cost of the 4k upgrade. Yes you can crop without resolution degradation but with a quality lens, you should not need to crop. I also can't foresee 4k streaming for at least another 5 years. You would need a fiber connection in order to send the stream and the downstream users would need at least 50mb boradband download. Unless you live in a top 5 city (not even top 10) most people are not going to have access to that speed of internet. Our church has business class broadband and we still struggle to send 1080p 4.5m on some days.
Do you even know what you're talking about? Most videos here on RUclips are in 4k.
@@JTguitarlessons Do you know what streaming is? It is LIVE VIDEO. My pc cannot play non live videos reliably in 4k. I have to watch youtube in 1080 mode.
Great video. Would the MC88 be a good option for live streaming outdoor sports at 1080? What is the zoom like? Any lag?
yes
Hi, can you put a handle on the AX700 like the other one have?
no
This is a very late response (from Belgium). My congratulations for your excellent tutorial videos. I'm looking for a new camcorder and I'm in doubt between the Sony AX 700 and the Panasonic HC-X1500 (+handgrip). This Panasonic is about $300 cheaper, has a larger zoom range, five-axis stabilization, a handy handgrip with audio (then it costs the same as the Sony) but a smaller sensor. Taking all this into consideration, if you had to choose, which one would you choose? Thank you very much for your answer!
there is a massive difference between a 1" sensor as on the AX700, and the tiny sensor found on the HC-X1500 (1/2.5" 8.29M MOS Sensor). Light gathering, AF speed and accuracy, all these things will add up to a very different experience in my opinion.
THNX making things very clear!! Good to eleminate some camera's ( no pro's 4 me)
Glad it was helpful!
When do you reckon sony will release a new bunch of camcorders?
Sadly, the ones they have right now sell well and are mostly all 4k. I wish they would. I'd love to get 10 bit color in an AX43!!! and AX700.
@@PMRTV I heard someone say he doesnt think they will release anymore, what's your opinion?
z90 can only send 3g-sdi so in professional use its only 1080 camera.
Clean HDMI out for MC88?
for Live Streaming
Thank you. What made you decide not to name the HXR-NX80, a model between the 700 and the z90? It includes the top handle but lacks the SDI out. Reason for me to buy this camera.
I couldn't get one from Sony
Hello Sir. What is at the moment best Sony camcorder up to 3000 USD Is AX 700 or Z90 worth to buy now? Can we expect any new Sony camcorder soon ?
Z90 is great!!!!
Whats the top handle for the Sony AX700? do you have a link where i can buy it? I cant find a top hand for it
Sony FDR-AX700 doesn't have top handle, but if you add DM wraparound bracket to your camcorder, you can mount any top handle via cold shoe, or cold shoe to nato rail adapter.
I just assumed that the fact that the AX700 could shoot HLG meant that it could shoot 10 bit footage. That was an eye opener.
no
@@PMRTV That explains the poor dynamic range in the HDR videos I've seen from that camera on RUclips.
Does the AX700 have a gimble feature in it for stability especially when covering sports?
no built-in gimbal as with AX53, 33, and 43.
you are awesome 👏
You are!
👍
The products are out of focus, that's choosing bokeh over product presentation 😳😳😳
I just don't comprehend why Sony doesn't put the technology of the A7s3 in a body of a AX700! They done it 10 yeras ago with the VG-30 and VG-90. They should be ashamed.
it's tough to put a ff sensor into a camera that only has room for a 1"...
@@PMRTV Well the done it 10 years ago, with the VG-30 and VG90 and they weren't cinema cameras. JVC LC300 done it.
The main problem is money, if you want 35mm in 4K get FX6 that costs 6000€ body only.
Perfect review! I'll probably end up getting the z90v since it has everything that i'm looking for as a camcorder. Thanks!!
great! Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you!
