Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm impressed.The functions and video quality are a step up from my older Sony cx405.If your looking into recording your kids sports and posting on social media this camcorder serves its purpose.The whole team looks forward to it.A little pricey but u well worth the investment.

Easy to use! takes great video!! I still have not used in low light situation, which is why we chose this camera, but impressed with everything else so far.

Camera is easy to use fits in your palm and take great footage and stills.

I bought this as my primary camcorder for work (fraud investigator). It does not disappoint. This isn't your regular point and shoot..... but it can be if needed. Amazing quality, excellent low-light capability with little to no artifacts, and the nightshot is as expected. Camera turns on immediately upon opening the screen, and another awesome feature (for me) is the fact that it actually has a viewfinder, which is rare these days. Great for people (again, in the industry I'm in) to be able to open up the viewfinder discreetly without light from the screen blaring in my face. For you video-heads out there, the quality, manual controls, everything about this camcorder is top notch. No, it doesn't have the absolute control you'd find in a $5,000 camera - but the quality is comparable. Plus, post-processing matters alot as well. I would absolutely recommend this camcorder to anybody. Whether you're shooting a wedding, your kids sporting event, or doing what I do for a living.

Camera is lightweight and very easy to use. Great quality videos. We bought this to capture all the special moments in our new baby's life. Love it!

We have 4K TV's so we bought this Sony 4K Handycam. It takes great video and the sound is so life like. I shot outside, inside, fireworks and a Gunfighters show at night and the Camera did a super job. I had to get a bigger battery because the one that comes with it [NP-FV70] only last 2 1/2 hrs. to the Sony NP-FV100A that last 5 1/2 hrs. I am very happy with this Camera.

Kind of clunky after inserting the battery. Not very balanced in addition to that. Features and specs are nice, high quality video. A bit pricey despite it being a bit older model. Not a fan of how Sony forces you to use their app in order to view/transfer files from either the camera or microSD card...

Great low light cam corder. Zoom is awesome, I use this camera everyday to creat YouTube aviation videos. Light weight easy to operate.

This is a great camera the picture is awesome very easy to operate zoom is fantastic a little heavy when holding it for a long time

This is a great camera! it is light in weight and the stabilization mode is awesome! It is very easy to use.

I bought this to record my church services during the Covid outbreak. Like most churches its a little darker inside. Honestly I don't notice much difference between this camera and my older 1080p sony camcorder. Don't get me wrong, the camera did a pretty good job. (Not much noise). I took more video outside in the sun and the video quality was pristine. I didnt' give it 5 stars because I think the price was a little high.

This video camera is very easy to just open the box and start videoing. Does great in low light , beautiful picture

I have had a Sony HDR-PJ670 Handycam since 2012 and I love it. However, in bright sunlight, it was difficult to see the view screen. I bought the AX53 Model primarily because it has an optical viewfinder in addition to the view screen. Other advantages include time lapse capability with adjustable picture taking intervals, much large batteries and three resolution modes including 4K.

This Sony 4k camera is great for anyone that wants to capture video in the latest resolution. This camera features great low light and OIS when recording. you can use wifi or NFC that is built into the camera to transfer files of the camera and use the Sony app to change the settings on the camera. The microphones are 4 channel which means you get the best sound in the business and the ability to cancel out your own voice and wind. I would highly recommend for video makers and youtubers!.

Excellent video and sound quality. Compact and easy to carry.

I sold my sony ax-33 to "upgrade" persay to this ax-53. Its lighter and definitely doesnt feel as well made in comparison to the ax-33. Its basically identical aside for having a farther zoom. Had some auto focus issues at my last outing with it at the track which is very inconvenient and had my ax-33 for years and never really experienced those but a hand full of times. Over all though its a great camera that produces great quality film and even pretty decent still photos. Just not sure it was worth the extra money and selling my ax-33 for...

One of the main reasons I bought the Sony AX-53 4K handycam is its famed image stabilization capability. I can mount it on my car to take very nice looking 4K footages when needed. So far it has not disappointed me. Some people complained about the camcorder's usefulness on a tripod. I found it not so problematic as long as you do not pan or tilt too fast or accelerate too rapidly.

Very good quality camcorder. Easy to use, ready to shoot anything you want in the highest quality,comes with everything you need to get started. I use this on my YouTube channel and the picture quality is great. Well worth the money.

This is a great 4K handycam. When you can't afford spending more this is the one to get. It's not a budget camera but rather a step above. Don't get scared though, the internals are "loose" until you put a battery on them and then they tighten up.

I bought this camera for a very short notice event and after some time of having it and using for the event I got to say it is a very nice and maybe great camera. It was easy to learn and use. Haha I had less than a day to learn and use it so... yeah easy to use. I do recommend all future buyer to really do their research and understand if this or any camera is right for them. I like this camera and it fit for my use, but this is the first time I ever bough a camera and for the price it is. I think it is a good buy. IF you are buying this camera think about buying a carrier for it as well as it does not come with a bag for it. Also I read the manual correctly the battery that come with it at high setting last a little over 2 hour this of course vary with other feature. Think about a bad if you don't already have one and extra battery if you need to record for a long time, think about an SD card and read the information on the website about SD card and what is the right one to buy for this camera. The description say no internal memory got me so confuse so I bought an SD card for safety and I'm still using it. Do you research.
