## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super camcorder
*by D***D on 21 April 2025*

A super camera/camcorderAs good as newI purchased this as I was able to save a little and the benefit of return if unsatisfied.I was a little nervous but this proved not necessary with this company.I would like to thank them for their honesty prompt service and my new hobby.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good with some reservations.
*by M***B on 9 July 2024*

There are not so many traditional camcorders available now and this one has been around for some time. However, it does produce very good quality videos. I have had several Sony camcorders and I needed a replacement as I lost several videos due to the last one failing badly in hot weather. I was unconcerned about the lack of a viewfinder on the FDR-AX43A, but with hindsight I regret that loss as there is considerable glare from the fold-out view screen in bright conditions. I have added a stick-on film to the screen to try to reduce the glare. Perhaps the FDR_AX53 would have been a better choice. As with most camcorders, the complexity needs some familiarisation and I recommend downloading the manual for reference as a number of the settings are not obvious. In addition I have added a daylight filter and lens cover to avoid damage to the exposed shutter.The video options are very good, including 4K and the ability to record also in .mp4 format which makes viewing and transfer to some TVs etc much easier. I have not been able to test the image stabilisation system properly yet, but it looks promising. Despite downloading the Sony software I have not been able to make the Bluetooth file transfer to a computer work and there appears to be no Sony advice on the problem. However, USB and direct Memory card transfers work ok. The supplied battery (NP-FV70A) does not provide a lot of recording time, especially at 4K. Additional batteries are available but I found that supplier's advice on their compatibility was confusing and sometimes wrong. The Sony service website chat line was most helpful and correct. The Amazon price and delivery service was very good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous camera with inbuilt gimbal
*by D***L on 14 July 2023*

Camcorders might be out of fashion but this one is amazing value, and the inbuilt gimbal does a fabulous job of stabilising the picture. Great image quality too. Recommended.
