    I’m using this for a YouTube channel and it has surpassed my expectations. The video resolution of recording water and watching the playback in 4K is astonishing to say the least!

    I bought the camcorder to record my daughter's basketball games plus other life events. It was an open box edition but seems to be good as new. I also bought a SanDisk - Extreme 128GB SDXC memory card. With the 128GB card, the camera has worked great. However, when I used my older 8GB card, it had a couple minor issues requiring the camcorder to be restarted or have the battery removed and replaced to clear. I recommend getting the extreme versions of the memory cards to make sure to get the best quality and performance. I also would have liked to have a separate battery charger included so I would not have to plug in the camcorder each time to recharge. Overall, I love it!

    We use AX33's for our business but needed something with a little more zoom. This fits the bill. Haven't been able to test thoroughly but so far, satisfied.

    I purchased this camcorder to record sports and outdoor day and night activities. I recently used it at a family campfire and the low light night shot worked great. It doesn't record in true color when using this setting however it records clear images at night. I especially like the eye viewfinder that I used during the day because the viewing screen was hard to see in bright sunlight.

    Sony finally made a pro consumer video cam, capable of professional results. I just wish they would incorporate the stabilization system to their AX100 4K. Never the less the AX53 is an outstanding product.

    Excellent camera. Autofocus is a little slow when you initially turn it on. Autoexposure works well under different lighting conditions.
