Disappointed

FDR-AX43A 27 May 2024 by Yarder (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

It only does 25 frames per second. I'm afraid I'll get a lot of flickering in the future and not sure how compatible it will be in combining with other cameras that are 30 fps.

Sony - AX43A 4K Handycam

FDR-AX43A 29 October 2024 by DeeRoy (United Kingdom)

Having watched other reviews of the Sony AX43A camcorder and its specs, I decided to purchase one myself. I particularly like the flip screen, as I wanted to use this camcorder on a YouTube channel. I also like the fact that I can adjust the zoom setting on it, and it stays on that setting even when I turn the power off and on again. It is so easy to use and so is the software that came with it.

Good Camera

FDR-AX43A 13 October 2024 by Uttam (United Kingdom)

Just recently bought; is in short supply at present and was forced to buy second hand as I needed a camera for my forthcoming holiday. The camera is much bulkier than my previous SONY Handicam CX450. This is to be expected as the gimbal is built in. The initial videos were really dard until I set the automatic exposure button

FDR-AX43A 08 October 2024 by Trucker56 (United Kingdom)

I bought this about 1 month ago, this is my first camcorder, I am using to video plane take offs and landings, the picture quality is great it is easy to use, I am still getting used to taking aircraft in the sky, I will eventually get used to this but aircraft taking off and landing is brilliant. I would definitely recommend it

Sony FDR-AX43A Camcorder

FDR-AX43A 02 September 2024 by KGSOFT (United Kingdom)

I bought this camcorder to replace my Panasonic HD camcorder. I wanted to record in 4K with some stability, and I noticed that this camera had additional stability built into it. I have to say that the 4K quality is very good but the display even when on the brightest setting is still difficult to see in bright sunshine conditions. Also, it would have been good to have a viewfinder included in it. On the hole it is a good camcorder although a little pricey.

Great Camera and easy to use

FDR-AX43A 02 February 2023 by Gumballer (United Kingdom)

This is the 3rd one of these that I have purchased over the years (Still use all 3) and just find it such a simple straight forward camera to use. This is the first one I have brought without the eye viewfinder but to be honest I don't think I have ever used the ones on the other cameras so not that worried. It has an updated screen which so far seems to be good. These are just lightweight cameras that capture in 4K and not overly complicated to use. I also use these to live stream over the internet.

Almost perfect handcamera

FDR-AX43A/BCE23 03 January 2023  (Philippines) Verified Purchaser Verified

I bought this videocamera a month ago. I’ve used it for special events and it has served its purpose — as a videocamera for making home videos. Key feature is the stabilization! Why 3 stars? For one, the build quality did not meet my exepctations. After using the videocamera on a tripod for a week during my Eurotrip, I was surprised to see that the placeholder for the plate on the underside of the videocamera was broken. I’ve been using a simple plastic plate and the material of the videocamera could not handle it. Hopefully, it is covered by warranty once I come to my hometown. Two, the video quality is too dark when shot at night. When there is light at the background, the subjects can no longer be seen and are overshadowed by the light. Because of these, the price might not really justify the videocamera. But all else is perfect!
