Review on πŸ“Ή Sony FDR-AX43 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder by Arturo Reyes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No night shot button Not suitable for ghost hunting

I bought this Handycam to use for paranormal investigation. I charged it and inserted the SD card. When I went to test the Night Shot feature, I found that there is no button behind the flip screen that would normally be behind the flip screen. I've searched the menus, screens and instructions, there is no Night Shot. I bought it after a response from Sony USA support about Night Shot availability, but now I'm disappointed and will have to work hard to get it back. Otherwise it's a good camera and the stabilization (Balanced Optical Steady Shot) with the gimbal is great, but without Night Shot it's useless to me and not worth the money. It didn't live up to my expectations as there is no built-in storage and only one card slot. My old Sony DVC and Mini-VHS camcorders at least had Night Shot. This is a step backwards for the ghostbuster community.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
