    Customers generally like the image quality of the camcorder. They mention that it has outstanding picture and video quality, produces high quality videos both at 1080 and 4K with a pleasing picture profile, and has no pixelation whatsoever. They also appreciate the clear videos from the night shots, and the superior quality video and sound. Some complain that the lens is not very sharp, but overall, they are happy with the quality of this camcorders.

    "...The Sony AX100 video camera takes great video, but it is just heavier and bulkier enough to worry me that I might be less inclined to pack it around..." Read more

    "...It is crystal clear, crisp and noticably better in video performance. I think I will never use the dual rec mode, as the MP4 is near to useless...." Read more

    "...There were literally no pixelation whatsoever.Things get very bad when taping indoor...." Read more

    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the camcorder. They mention that it's a solid recorder that's almost professional quality, and the Sony Zeiss optic is really good.

    "...soon as you pick it up you will immediately recognize this is a quality built camera...." Read more

    "...The quality is so good that other parents on the team have asked me to take videos of their kids...." Read more

    24 customers mention24 positive0 negative

    Customers like the stabilization of the camcorder. They say that the image stabilization is the stand out feature of the product, and the shots are steady and crystal clear. The very high end image stabilisation system of the AX33 is head and shoulders above the rest, and it superbly handles shaky videos. The camera feels well-balanced and secure while holding it, and offers both a flip-out screen and a solid recorder.

    "...The very high end image stabilization system of the AX33 (Sony calls it "BOSS”) is head and shoulders above anything on any DSLR camera right now..." Read more

    "...4. BOSS Image stabilization is amazing, beyond standard optical image stabilization.5. Audio quality (built-in mic) is superb.6...." Read more

    "...The BOSS stabilization system is almost perfect, but not as good as if on a real tripod...." Read more

    15 customers mention13 positive2 negative

    Customers like the performance of the camcorder. They mention that it works very well, has unbelievable performance, and handles low light very well. The results are very nice, and it works right out of the box with an easy set up. It is respectable and useful, and the zoom is very long range and usable. However, some customers mention that the cam lacks a data line to transfer the image and picture.

    "...The results were very nice, and would probably be even nicer if I knew what I was doing...." Read more

    "...and this camera handles that very good. I give it 5 stars just because it handles night shots good...." Read more

    "...Extreme PRO 128GB UHS-I/U3 SDXC Flash Memory Card, and the camera operations are perfect. Great price for the features. Easy to use...." Read more

    "...The picture looks awesome and it works great for projectors as well! It also has a built-in image stabilization inside the camera." Read more

    14 customers mention12 positive2 negative

    Customers find the camcorder easy to use. They mention that the high quality and the reader are easy to set up. The menus are relatively straight forward, but some of it feels convoluted in how they designed.

    "...It makes the reader easy to use where ever it is plugged in.Batteries and charger - I got two Sony NP-FV70 spare batteries as well...." Read more

    "...Although the DSLR objectively offers more overall, the ease of use is astounding with this camcorder...." Read more

    "...Great price for the features. Easy to use...." Read more

    "...Works right of the box with an easy set up" Read more

    13 customers mention13 positive0 negative

    Customers like the value of the camcorder. They say it's worth the price.

    "...Besides, external hard disks are cheap and reliable now… there really is no real downside to capturing your memories in 4K now, enjoying them in HD..." Read more

    "...love, but you WILL get crisp, stable, in-focus footage with both low cost and high portability...." Read more

    "...Less than $900? Wow, what a great price too!..." Read more

    "Fantastic camera for the price. It does weigh more than my Sony HDD camera it replaced, but the 4K feature makes up for the difference...." Read more

    21 customers mention7 positive14 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the camcorder. Some mention that the audio quality is superb, while others say that it is very poor and they get a lot of noise in the recordings. Some customers also mention that there are gaps in the sound, and the door is flapping open and rattling on the microphone.

    "...I had limited the gain on the camcorder to 9db, there were lots of visible noise and graininess when compared to my nikon, which looked 5 times..." Read more

    "...5. Audio quality (built-in mic) is superb.6. Digital zoom is very long range and usable. Especially with BOSS image stabilizer.7...." Read more

    "...Even with the gain set for zero, an indoor shot still had way too much noise in it...." Read more

    "...Put this camera indoors in moderate light and you'll see horrible noise in the dark parts of the image...." Read more

    15 customers mention8 positive7 negative

    Customers are mixed about the light of the camcorder. Some mention that the sensor on the AX100 is better for low light, and the cam is excellent at night shooting. Others say that the quality quickly falls off in lower light.

    "...The low light is good, but for serious recording, the noise is still noticable, and using Neat Video in Premiere CC take forever..." Read more

    "...However, it's not bright enough for a this camcorder. I simultaneously took some video footage with my Nikon D810 camera using 35mm prime lens...." Read more

    "...I give it 5 stars just because it handles night shots good. I didn't use much of its other built-in functions...." Read more

    "...The lens zoom range is good but not fantastic. The electronic eye-level viewfinder is great outside, where I do most of my videography...." Read more

    Low light performance is very good (I compare it with my Nikon D800 Video performance)
    5 Stars
    Low light performance is very good (I compare it with my Nikon D800 Video performance)
    First Impression:1. Low light performance is very good (I compare it with my Nikon D800 Video performance).2. Auto White balance is giving me a very nice skin tone under low light 2700K3. 4K + MP4 dual recording mode is very handy, like having RAW+JPG in my D800.4. BOSS Image stabilization is amazing, beyond standard optical image stabilization.5. Audio quality (built-in mic) is superb.6. Digital zoom is very long range and usable. Especially with BOSS image stabilizer.7. WIFI remote control with android is very good (fast image update), disadvantage is, the HDMI output cannot be use in this mode.The not so good:1. LANC is no longer supported (Multi connector does not support A/V accessories). Didn't try yet, but it is said so in the manual2. Touch screen LCD is not sensitve, difficult to access the menu. Hope to be like Iphone or Galaxy S5. But not quite.3. As mentioned above, on remote WIFI operation, no output from HDMI. Meaning cannot use Smartphone remote control for LIVE HDMI output application (which I use a lot)4. The EVF is a nice addition, but too tiny for my eyes. Probably because I get used to my D800 viewfinder....Will update later when I get chance to use it!In summary, very happy with this purchase, and highly recommend it...Update #1:After using it indoor and outdoor, this is my impression:1. 4K is really amazing. I can see the different between Full HD highest, and 4K 100Mbps. It is crystal clear, crisp and noticably better in video performance. I think I will never use the dual rec mode, as the MP4 is near to useless. The only downside is, rendering 4K (with Premiere CC 2014) is taking so long (with my core I7 Haswell, 512GB SSD, 16MB ram).2. The Sony Zeiss optic is really good. The combination of 1/2.3 inc CMOS, 4K 100 MBps and the good optics is really delivers....3. The built-in Microphone is respectable and useful. It has good frequency response, good clarity and sensitive enough to be usable in normal environment.4. For $1K 4K, it is absolutely worth it. Having shoot Video with DSLR (Nikon D800 with good glass), I think I will only use the Nikon on long static performance using Tripod (like Piano recital, etc). For active movement, I will use this Video, especially in a well lit environment. The low light is good, but for serious recording, the noise is still noticable, and using Neat Video in Premiere CC take forever (long rendering time).5. The downside. The remote Android app is not usable. After taking 3 minutes clip, the video in Smartphone getting out of sync (lag) and becoming erratic, and end up crashing. For short shot it is ok, but really it is no practical use for me.Happy Easter!Update#2:I think this need SONY attention, to be updated in new Firmware:As I use (almost always) the 4K 100Mbps format, it consume SD space so fast.I use new Transcend 128GB UHS-1 (which can record without any problem) BUT, when it saving approx. 50GB (out of 128GB capacity), there is message pop-up saying no more space for XAVC-S.I cannot record 4K 100Mbps anymore, but when I switch to other format, it still keep going.So I suspect that, there is 'bug' in VTOC that assumes max SD capacity is 64GB (as said in the manual, the max SD capacity is 64GB).I am about to buy the 256GB card, so SONY.... please fix this with firmware upgrade!!! And there is already 512 GB SDXC card available, do not restrict the max size....Update#3:2 months later:* I still like this camcoder. In fact, I like it more and more as I get use to it.* After so many recording cycle (Record and Re-format), I can use the whole 128GB Transcend without any problem (I am now only use 4K 100Mbps exclusively)* Try the 64GB KomputerBay, amazingly it works for 4K 100Mbps without problem. BUT the 128 GB KomputerBay, does NOT work. It simply refused to Initialized the SD Card (for 4K).* I take a lot of low-light video with amazing result. As long as it is in the wide angle side, and not to dark (extremely dark is not recomended), My definition of low light is recording inside Church with standard lighting. On the telephoto side, it is still acceptable.* White Balance is AMAZING. I like it even better than my Nikon D800 (auto white balance). Skin tone is almost perfect.Happy shooting!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente videocámara.
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 10, 2020
    Excelente cámara, los materiales se sienten de muy buena calidad, la imagen es súper clara, los colores muy naturales y el sonido es el mejor que he escuchado en una videocámara, pero sin duda lo mejor de todo es su estabilizador óptico el cual permite que las imágenes siempre salgan estables incluso si no tienes buen pulso como yo. Otro punto a destacar es su batería la cual tiene muy buena duración, llegando a durar más de 3 horas de uso continuo. El único punto donde siento que flojea un poco es en condiciones de baja iluminación, ya que en esos casos si mete algo de ruido, pero es normal en cámaras de sensor pequeño, además lo compensa con el hecho de que cuenta con visión nocturna.

    Me gusta hacer videos (busquenme como AlbertHe en YouTube para ver el unboxing https://youtu.be/AO0c6efAYcU ) decidi actualizarme con otra camara, uso una Canon G7X Mark II lo que ahora buscaba era una camara que pudiera usar accesorios externos (microfono, luz, flash, etc) y di con esta Sony AX33, la encontre en descuento y viendo todas las caracteristicas me convencio, ya que la he estado usando me acomoda bastante para hacer tomas 4k tambien, pero usa más memoria, no le falta casi nada para ya ser una camara "profesional" otra cosa que me gusto bastante es el estabilizador tipo gimball (de 5 ejes) y al hacer tomas en movimiento no se nota para nada ademas que cuenta con NightShot por si quieres hacer videos en la oscuridas, Quede satisfecho y la recomiendo bastante.
