Review on πŸ“Ή Sony FDR-AX33 Black Camcorder by Lc Qu ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

If we compare with the Sony HXR-NX30, we get: In AX33 1) Removed the flash (a very significant minus for the photo) 2) Removed the projector (not very necessary, but still a nice function) 3) Removed the hood and external microphone. 4) Removed GPS (very rarely needed, but still) 5) REMOVED THE HARD DISK! - this is honestly terrible . write only on cards . besides, for 4K you need expensive high-speed SDXC 6) We changed the design of the "hot shoe" to use accessories from the NX30, you need to buy an adapter. now for the pros: 1) ADDED WiFi. You can control the camera from a tablet or connect the camera itself to action cameras and control them from the main camera (try to connect with two Sony AA100V action cameras) 2) Very nice 5.1 sound (although only 2.0 writes in 4K) 3) The 4K format itself (because of it we bought this camera) 4) Support for memory cards up to 128GB 5) It shoots very well in Very low light (but you need to enable 2 functions in the menu) 6) Manual settings have become more convenient. The principle is the same as in the NX30, but the small scroll was replaced with a ring around the lens and a manual zoom was added. 7) Good battery included. For 2 hours of shooting without problems (although I have 2 more of the same). In general, a very good camera, positioned as an amateur one, therefore, given how much was removed compared to the Sony HXR-NX30, it could cost 10 thousand less.

Pros
  • The presence of 4K, sound 5.1. WiFi
Cons
  • a lot (especially when compared with the Sony HXR-NX30)
