A great blend of consumer and pro features

Excellent "prosumer" camera when you don't want/need a handle with XLR inputs. It has a LANC port for an affordable remote zoom, but also comes with a wireless remote with more functions if you desire that. Lens quality and picture quality are superb and you have a large choice of popular picture profiles already programmed in which you can over-ride with your preferences.

Great results

Nice camera for the money. As a "prosumer" it lacks a few features found on the more expensive "pro" models, but gives an excellent performance even under auto mode. Now if they would only add 4K60p.

High quality camera with many manual settings

I bought the AX 700 mainly because I wanted a 4K Camcorder which is compatible with my existing accessories for the CX900 I have since 2014. I'm fully convinced of te AX700 performance. The image stabilizer works awesome and the handling of the camcorder is easy. I like the many possibilities to make manual settings; so I'm able to control the exposure values perfectly. All in all I'm happy with this camcorder!

High quality, excellent features

When the telephoto stopped working on my Sony 106E in July 2021 after 11 years heavy use, I decided to go for a higher spec Sony camcorder as a replacement and selected the FDR-AX700. Due to Covid restrictions I haven't been able to use it as much as I would have liked, but am very satisfied with the results so far. It is so simple to use and the menu system is much simpler than on many other camcorders I've seen. I look forward to experimenting with the options over the coming months. My only criticism is that the mic is very sensitive to wind noise.

Good Camera, Lame Sony

Good camera- Image quality, build etc., all good The Problems: 1) If you use a Mac, there's no way to connect the camera to your computer to transfer files, you need to remove the SD card every time. I was on with Sony customer service for 30 minutes, downloading apps, waiting for the agent to do more research... 30 minutes of my life wasted and then the rep says "Yea, I knew none of this would work" Thanks. 2) No Hardware/software updates in 3 years!? Basically saying "You've just spent a bunch of money on the camera and now that we have your money, now your on your own..." 3) The Select/Control button is way too SMALL! If you don't have small, delicate fingers, you're very likely going to be mis-selecting and re-navigating multiple times before you get to your menu selection. 4) Apparently this camera is very particular about what external mics you can use. Use one that's not supported (Surprise, it's only Sony) and expect less than optimal sound.

Crisp 4k video!

Delighted with the camcorder - it's slightly larger and heavier than I had imagined but the picture quality (and possibilities it opens up for creativity) are just what I wanted. I do have a few negatives though: 1) For a premium prosumer camcorder, I would have expected a manual included. Personally, I find it very disappointing when the few pages of instructions included refer you to an online site for the 'e-manual'. That was a big disappointment for me. 2) The joystick is a bit too small for east navigation of menus and has a tendency to scroll too quickly for my liking, meaning you often overshoot the option you want to find. 3) The rather tatty software which you need to download from Sony to grab the video files from the CF card(s) and move across to your PC is called 'PlayMemories Home'. It works alright i.e. it is nothing special, but (am I being picky here?) the name of the software makes it sound like something you'd get with a dirt cheap camcorder for £50 from ebay! Why couldn't Sony have called it something like 'AX-700 file importer' or something that sounds a bit more grown up...? Software and manual gripes aside, it's a splendid bit of kit that I'm loving.

A great tool for my kit

I purchased the FDR-AX700 in April of 2020, I already own 2 FDR-AX100s, one AX53, one AX33 and one Mirrorless A6400. I love the build of the AX700 it has become my #1 camcorder. I do multi-camera shooting and the picture quality and consistancy from one model to the next. Most of my shoots are indoors so low light is always a challenge but the AX700 tackles the job.

Professional performance in camcorder clothing

I've bought Sony camcorders since 2011 when I migrated to HD from DV tape. Videography is only a hobby and my annual output may only be a couple of stage shows and some family or friend's weddings, for which I don't charge, but I take pride in delivering the best quality I can. The AX700 is an excellent addition with first class picture quality, ease of use and with features only seen on much more expensive cameras of 6 or seven years ago. Shooting in 4K allows for cropping yet retaining quality in HD projects and budget film makers will benefit from shooting in S-log. Stabilisation is adequate but no match for the BOSS on the AX33 and AX53. With this camera bridging a gap between top end Prosumer/entry level Professional it suits me very well as this model retains a still picture mode that the designated professional siblings do not. I'm delighted to have indulged myself in its acquisition and look forward to giving it a serious workout when the Covid crisis recedes.

Fantastic Camera for quick setups

Absolutely love this Camera so far. The lens is fantastic and the super quick auto focus is an absolute dream to have when shooting a lot of action. Doesn't have as many capabilities as something more professional (although it's capabilities seem endless), but the ease of use makes up for it. Great Camera!

Very Pleased With My New Sony Video Camera

As the title says, I am very please with the FDR-AX700 4K HDR camera. It doesn’t take long to get up and running taking videos in 4K which look excellent on my big Sony television. The slow and quick motion is a great feature which I expect to use to add something different to my movies. The camera is compact for what it does and I find it fits in my hand beautifully and all the controls I need are easy to reach. The zoom is also a great feature. In summary, a great purchase.

Good but room for improvement

The Sony ax700 produces excellent quality footage with a great zoom, its small and light, the drawbacks are with the menu controls which are very fiddly, also the slow motion I find almost useless as it don't show you what your filming like modern cameras even camera phones, it uses old software and has to process for 3 minutes where you don't know what your filming.
