Product information

Pros and cons

According to our camcorder expert

  • Recording in 4K Ultra HD quality gives you extremely lifelike images.
  • The 5-axis image stabilization prevents moving shots when you film by hand.
  • You make professional sound recordings with the included Sony EXM-CG60 shotgun microphone.
  • The FDR-AX53 doesn't have GPS for location data.
  • To record interviews in a stable way, you have to place the GorillaPod 1K on an elevated surface such as a table.

Description

The Sony FDR-AX53 is a compact camcorder with which you can make professional 4K recordings. You can zoom in up to 20 times and focus quickly thanks to the accurate autofocus. The bright lens provides high-quality images, even in poor light conditions. You can take smooth images thanks to the five axis image stabilization, so you avoid shocks when you walk or zoom in. With the included Sony ECM-CG60 shotgun microphone, you can record high quality professional sound. This has a large frequency range and prevents noise in high winds. For vlogs and interviews, place the camcorder on the included Joby GorillaPod 1K. Make stable shots on any surface by bending the flexible legs around pipes, posts, and branches. The tripod has a maximum working height of 26 centimeters.

It's okay

  • Picture in Full HD
  • Zoom range
  • Low light image
  • 4K at 25p

- Moving the camera quickly or filming a subject is displayed stuttering in 25p and 24p. Color and lighting are fine. Filming in full HD 50p is no problem. Picture is very beautiful. - If you're filming in 4K 25p, you can't switch to 4K 24p without erasing your memory card. You can exchange your ticket. - Signal to TV is displayed as 60Hz content at 24p. So doesn't look like it. Tried with several TVs. - Image vibrates very much with fine details when you play 4K film on a full HD screen. Not sure what this looks like on a 4K screen. - Picture is ok in low light. Little noise. - High-speed recordings are good and can then be edited into slow motion video. - Nice zoom range. Good stabilization. Can easily shoot handheld. - Copying content to usb hdd does not work on the battery. Must connect power adapter to camera. - No remote control included. That's a pity. If you only film in 4K, save up for one that does that in 50p. But they are very expensive.

Fantastic camera with many possibilities

  • Fantastic image stabilization
  • 30x optical zoom
  • Manual ring in front of the camera
  • internal microphone

I've had the camera for 2 months now and have enjoyed it immensely. the picture quality at 1920 x 1080 50p is truly stunning. the only downside is that you can't record 4K at 50 fps, but that's what the price is for. the optical zoom is excellent, but you do need a good tripod or a steady hand for that. furthermore, the stabilization of both lens and sensor is fantastic. for close-up images, you hardly need a tripod anymore. You also have the option to choose from different settings which you want to manually put on the manual ring so that you can easily adjust it while recording your video. I did buy an external microphone with deadcat after the first time filming for better sound recording.

Great Device

  • The boss stabilization is impressive and unsurpassed.
  • UHD and 1080p
  • The Codec XAVCS
  • Sony settings menu, Sony never learns, my only minus!

The device makes beautiful images, so-called shocking images, which I have read of some, I do not have. I am not a pan zoom tilt freak anyway, but if I have this device on a tripod for a quiet pan or tilt shot, I switch off the stabilization, otherwise it will work against each other and yes, shaky images result, logical . Boss is really boss, (stabilization) I was filming and deliberately shaking this camera and it can be seen minimally on a 65 inch 4K TV, just impressive. Very often and in many cases I use a tripod for composition and to make nice tight images. I don't want to get seasick from what I make and I certainly don't want to do it to someone else who looks at it. But, with this device if you hold it normally and film along normally, you don't need a tripod. I do take the tripod with me when I travel, but I'm pretty sure I don't need it with this device. I plan to film everything in 4k or UHD I need 1080p a matter of downscaling. Think of the SD cards. With a card of 32 gigabytes you are filmed very quickly in 4K, especially if you are not able to transfer it to a laptop or other device at the end of the day. As you can read the only downside, the Sony menu system. If I set something manually and press ok I want to continue in the menu but that is not possible, you have to start all over again, too bad. Otherwise a nice camera and not expensive for what you get.
