Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a great camera that's easy to use and very reliable. This camera replaces an old handycam HDR-XR200 that is still working great.

I was originally checking the Panasonic camcorder for this price range for the dual camera ability. But the easy operation and dolby 5.1 recording on this Sony AX53 changed my mind to buy this. 4K recording is very crisp and clear.

I love this camera because of the ultra wide angle lense coupled with an awesome zoom. I bought this camera for 2 main purposes: film high school sports, and film real estate interiors. Works great for both applications.

I use it to record church services and then post to the church Facebook account It does a nice job and isn’t hard to use

Great camera. Focuses and takes photos very fast. Works well in various lighting conditions. Videos and still pictures came out very sharp. Just did several National Parks and came home with great shots.

Camcorder has the BOSS OIS, where the lenses and sensor are set in floating gimbals to provide the best anti shake system ever. You have to try it to believe it. Pros are using this consumer marketed unit for the stabilized system it has.

Love the 4k video and digital zoom...stable image and high quality stills make this the camera to buy. Only issue is having enough of the right memory cards...had to get several properly rated, high capacity cards (wait for a BB sale)

I waited for a long time but finally caught this phenomenal 4K camcorder on sale. The quality of the recordings and pictures are unmatched. This has been the answer for capturing many family events and for traveling.

I got this to be my “dad cam”. It’s a true camcorder. Amazing high-quality 4K footage. Great image. I just wish it had real manual control. You can dial in only specific settings at one time, then the camera does auto for the other settings. Incredible image stabilization.

I am a sony Camcorder owner! I started with Sony BetaCam! Then a big 8mm camcorder! A little 8mm! Digital 8mm! HD camcorder! And now 4K! This camcorder has a lot of extras! Some stuff I do not know what for! I like it also has manual focus if you want! The only thing I wish it had was a remote control! I have never spent this a much money on a camcorder! I have never drop a camcorder! However, This one is to much money to replace! So the 2 year warranty from Best Buy!

Good quality Good features Sony is one of my favorites brands. But the price is expensive Even the TVs…

The video quality of this camcorder is excellent. The video quality is amazing. The only minor gripe I have is that the battery life is not exceptionally long compared to other video cameras I've owned. Especially on 4K.

Image stabilization feature works really great. The indoor or low light setting brings a darker image, but my priority was steady image, so I'm happy with this product. I wish it came with a remote though.

I have a previous Sony UHD camcorder who's picture was awesome.....but now I have this 4K camera and it is phenomenal! If a great picture is important to you but you don't want to spend a bag of money this is the one!

Image stabilization works amazing! Be sure to get a fast card to record at the higher bit rate. I didn't have one at first and was dissapointed by the image quality. With the fast card at 100mbs quality improved dramatically.

This has become a favorite tool and toy ! It helps me document conditions and discoveries as I disassemble systems. It also captures moments not to be forgotten

This camera was amazing and still is amazing. It was rated highest out of any other camcorder in 2016 and it really shows for it. The night mode is amazing, the picture is incredible and I might have to buy another one! 10/10

Bought it to celebrate the lunar new year. Quality for video is great. Technology is a bit too sophisticated. Need some time to learn how to operate all these functions.

Satisfied with the image quality. Also, I like the dual mode recording feature. It is easy to transfer files to the computer with mp4 format without any conversion work.

Well I have had a chance to put the camcorder to the test and it passed with flying colors. Focusing was quick and the stabilizer works wonders. It is everything the product reviews say it is and more.
