  • My new favorite camera.
This is an amazing camera. I loved it so much I bought another. I have had many cameras over the years and this is my new favorite. I think I will be selling my PMW200. The picture quality is jaw dropping on the AX100. The screen captures I've taken from it look like stills taken with a nice DSLR. The image has very little noise compared to smaller sensor cameras. I used 2 of them to shoot a musical at my sons High School. The 4k has made it so I can shoot with 2 cameras instead of 3. I can set one camera to cover the full width of the stage and use the other for close and medium shots. With the wide camera it is easy to crop quite a bit without loosing much quality when your final output is 1080P. The controls are also the best I've used on a prosumer camera. The controls are not as good as my PMW200 but in many ways the picture is better on the AX100. I love having the 3 dedicated buttons to control shutter, iris and gain with the smaller wheel. However I think my favorite feature is the two levels of zoom on the focus magnifier (it has it's own dedicated physical button). My PMW200 only has one level and it is often not enough. With the AX100 I can easily see it I have sharp focus. The screen and viewfinder are also both very nice. I almost forgot to mention that it has built in ND filters!!!!! On a consumer camera that is amazing. Thank you Sony, you have hit it out of the park with this camera. I had purchased the significantly more expensive FDRAX1 and returned it because of focus problems and the processor not being able to keep up when shooting in 60p (controls would lag significantly). The image quality on the AX100 is much better as well (far less noisy). Things I'd love to see in the next version. (or a Pro Version of the AX100) - These are picky and none are deal breakers. - Dual SD slots. (Cards don't fail very often but when they do it can be very very bad) - Lens protection that doesn't require a cap. - Put the focus magnification button where the photo button is or at least let me reprogram them. (The focus mag. is hard to find in the dark) - The zoom is a little slow (I don't remember seeing an option in the menu to speed it up). - 60p would be nice when processors get a bit faster. (I'd rather have only 30p than a fan or slow performance like on the FDRAX1). I actually prefer the look of 30p but 60p would be nice for slow motion or sports. ... show more

  • Very good lens and resolution - I like the sensor
We recently purchased this camcorder from Amazon. It exceeded my expectations. It does have very good resolution and the lens supports this just fine. The codec for 4K writes about 50-60 mb/s which doesn't seem like a like for UHD resolution. But it works for me. We use it to shoot opening wide shots on a tall tripod. Slow movements if any. And we can zoom in on a 1080 timeline without noticeable decay in quality. Very cool. I haven't seen noticeable artifacts for this use. I haven't tried it on codec-breaking shots so I cannot comment on fast motion and similar uses. My friend has another UHD camcorder that is quite difficult to use and not have some shots that aren't quite what he expected once back at the studio. This camcorder can be point and shoot in auto mode with really nice results. And the media costs are tiny compared to his media costs. So I am very happy with my purchase. Negatives: Well, its cinetone setting isn't as filmic as our FS700, but this camcorder is much cheaper. It also only can record UHD resolution at 30P, but to be fair to do more is uncommon right now and the current hdmi to 4k TV spec is only 30P right now. It still looks great especially for my use. The native 4k file cannot be played with Windows Media Player right now. I suppose some third party media players could but I have messed with that. The Sony software that is provided can play it of course. And these files import, play and edit just fine in Adobe Premiere CC. I should also mention it can do 1080 60P video at 50 mb/s, which looks great for shots requiring very smooth motion. I have a Sony DSC-RX10 camera too which I think uses this sensor. It is an awesome sensor and this camera makes really good 1080 video as well as great stills. You can get excellent resolution and bokeh if you want it or not, pretty easily. I recommend the FDR-AX100 camcorder. ... show more

  • Rip Off
This camera stopped working less than a year after I bought it. Sony doesn’t even fix it anymore. Complete rip off.
