Review on ๐Ÿ“น Sony FDR-AX33 Black Camcorder by Goro Takenouchi แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

I bought the camera to replace the Panasonic HDC-DX1 and Sony HDR-SR1, which perfectly complemented each other, which could be "watered" without paying much attention to the level of illumination of the scene being shot. I shoot mostly 1080 50p. The difference in the quality of shooting day and night on the Sony FDR-AX33 compared to older cameras is more noticeable, but absolutely not critical for home video. I set the gain limit to 21db. I donโ€™t use 4K, because there is no 4K TV, and I donโ€™t plan to buy one. For 4K, a completely different level of camera is required: 50p mode, and a matrix that provides the ability to shoot in low light with a shutter speed no longer than 1/100 sec. This does not yet exist in nature (up to a certain price range).

Pros
  • Image stabilizer keeps a decent "shaking"; excellent detail in FHD 1080 50p mode; decent quality with a lack of lighting; the ability to limit the gain level when shooting scenes in low light; standard "shoe" for accessories. The quality of the display - at what angle do not look at it, the picture is not distorted. The viewfinder is retractable, and lifting.
Cons
  • Lack of remote control. Designed to replace it, the PMH mobile application has poor functionality, and a certain amount of time spent on connecting the camera to a phone or tablet. Somewhat unusual arrangement of threads for a tripod. Micro HDMI connector, had to buy a separate cable.
