The newly released replacement for the classic FDR-AX33 – the FDR-AX53 4K HD Camcorder will serve as an extension to Sony's popular high-end 4K handycam lineup. This camcorder combines the latest of shooting technology while retaining only the best parts from its predecessor: a relatively compact...

This camera replaces my nine year old Sony HDR-SR1E which was one of the first 1080i camcorders available, I only changed because the LCD monitor touch screen failed. I sincerely hope this camera can last as long. Firstly, as ever in my experience with Sony it has a great feel of quality and build.

Easy to use. Excellent video quality. Compact size, a lot of options. Very satisfied.

I have decided to write this review after I've read other people complaining about this camera. what they say is true, but they must be professional videographers. For normal people and enthusiasts who are willing to record their daughters dancing show on the theater or their sons game or race (Like...

Very easy to use; excellent build quality; excellent video quality

Would like sound level to have a manual override rather than auto level; so something with loud/soft sounds can be reproduced more realistically
