Review on ๐Ÿ“น Sony FDR-AX33 Black Camcorder by Adam Woods แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

A good camera, but I focus on the shortcomings, which, in principle, should not be. Too short The little finger of the hand that holds the camera rests directly on the microphone. The finger has to be bent. Poor management There are practically no buttons forcomntrolling video recording on the case, everything is shoved into the menu. The cardcomver does not move away, as in previous models, but opens like a door, which creates inconvenience when removing the card. No backlight In previous models there was an LED, which often helped out, in this model it was removed. Tiny viewfinder The picture is visible, but there is nocomntrol. Many camcorders have a small viewfinder, but this is a drawback. If you decide to equip the camera with a viewfinder, then make a travel one. Lack of memory Several tens of gigabytes of internal memorycomuld be soldered into the camera for such an amount, everyone would be fine. After all, in previous models it was. Zoom Quality Strange that no one has mentioned this. It seems that those who wrote all sorts of reviews on this model did not even hold it in their hands. The bottom line is this: during normal shooting (at a wide angle), the camera gives an excellent, clear picture without noise, but if you use the maximum zoom, then just terrible noises appear and the whole picture is blurred, as if this is not an optical approximation, but digital. Shooting in 4K The fact is that when switching the camera to 4K format, there is a strong limitation in the vaunted BOST stabilization. And most importantly - 4K can only be shot at 25 frames per second, and this is a jerky picture with any movement in the frame. That is, people often buy this model precisely because of 4K, but in practice it turns out to be useless. Seecommparison with other models here: If all the shortcomings were eliminated, under-4K thrown away, then the camera would be super! Although, on the other hand, things are even worse for other models . In general, if you do not use 4K and zoom, then I RECOMMEND the camera.

Pros
  • XAVC codec
Cons
  • Zoom Quality
