Model overview based on user reviews
The Sony FDR-AX100E camcorder is highly praised for its excellent shooting results and user-friendly interface, making it ideal for creative, advanced amateurs and professionals. It offers 4K video quality that is not just theoretical but delivers in reality, with a one-inch sensor size providing good light sensitivity and image quality. The camcorder is equipped with an advanced optical and digital stabilizer, ensuring smooth footage, although night shooting capabilities are limited without additional lighting. Users appreciate the intuitive button layout and the comfortable hand grip. Despite its considerable weight and high price, which some find prohibitive, the camera's features justify the investment for those who can utilize its full potential. However, it may not be suitable for beginners due to its complexity and the need for a thorough understanding of its functions. Overall, the Sony FDR-AX100E remains a strong choice for those seeking high-quality video capture.
Pros
Cons
The main advantage is its one-inch sensor size, good light sensitivity, and excellent image quality with a maximum bitrate of around 100 megabits. Does not connect to a 5V power bank, and instead of automatic lens covers like on professional video equipment, there is an ordinary cap.  McMacker: use Sony FDR-AX100E more than year |
I don’t understand those who speak negatively about this camera model. I bought it last year and filmed a bunch of scenes under different conditions. The picture quality is simply amazing, especially if you use 4K. But we must keep in mind that this camera is not for people who don’t want to understand the settings and don’t know how to shoot, but for creative, advanced amateurs and professionals. Excellent shooting results, user-friendly interface and excellent optics. Possibility of shooting in difficult evening conditions. I would always like more, but with so many advantages, we cannot talk about isolated minor drawbacks, such as price, for example. |
The quality of the camera is simply excellent, you will be 100% satisfied, but nevertheless I would not recommend buying it, since it is very expensive and all the functions will not be available to you, due to problems with not having a thorough knowledge of technology, I do not want to offend anyone, but To shoot her 100%, at a minimum you need to be some kind of wedding cameraman... i don’t know how it is for anyone, but personally I wanted not just a camera, like a telephone camera, but a separate one, but also a full-fledged video camera with a good picture. In reality, you get 4K, not only in the description but also in reality. We bought a camera to film the race, since the little one races in cross-country in Ukraine, and not only decided to take something normal, when now is not the time for history to make such recordings. Excellent fastening to the hand, it really fits simply chic, it won’t fall off even if you get hit or caught on the hand, all the buttons are intuitive in your hand, the launch is simply instantaneous, pictures are also taken perfectly, but only in daylight. The stabilizer is advanced optics plus digital, it’s unrealistically easy to blur something out, for shooting at night there is a built-in infrared sensor, but it’s no further than 4-5 meters, and to be honest, the quality is no good, it’s really possible to attach a lamp, but this is already such a unit that it simply doesn’t add up in your mind I will run with him or raise the camera sharply. I don’t know what to call it correctly, but the video in the strong sun is somehow so interesting and the video doesn’t have that burning sun that would ruin the video. The price, well, what can you do, whoever bought it knew what they were getting into, and shouting that it’s big, like who needs this? you took it yourself. By the way, the price is also due to the fact that there are no real competitors, and in order to launch a production line you need to invest a lot of money, plus the quality is unlikely to be the same, and the price of an analogue will be no less, or even I imagine much more. The mode for highlighting fixed contours is not very convenient, it’s either there or it’s not, although in reality you can see it anyway... and when it’s shining you can’t always work properly with manual focus. To be honest, the camera is certainly of high quality, but damn, not all people can figure it out without problems, and in order to buy it all, you probably need to read the instructions for half a year and test it... but in reality you use 20% of its capabilities. |
