overall the camera shoots excellent video in low and high speed frame mode. the start up is less then 3 seconds from power button/opening side viewer and it is recording. play back is easy to access when quick reviews are needed.

I have tried out so many cameras lately from DSLR to Hand-held action cameras. I was about to give up until I purchased this. I now feel like a videographer even though I’m far from one. Excellent video and easy to use.

I bought this and now I am returning it because they took out the Night Shot feature. I didn’t mind it not having the external viewfinder, but the Night Shot IR System is what was needed for ghost hunting.

Disappointed. Just a dumbed down version of the Ax53, nothing new.

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...

At present I cant find any faults regards using this. I use it for my family and outside interest

I've used Sony movie and DV cameras for over 40 years from Super 8 onwards, many in very demanding environments such as underwater housings and up ships and yacht masts dangling round my neck, none have ever failed.Never used eyepiece as spectacles get in the way.

Very nice camera. Superb quality and built strong.

The performance of the camera is very good, with excellent battery life. The overall package is let down by the lack of a viewfinder. This could be compensated for to some extent by having a brightness control of the viewing screen.
