 4K Gets Personal   Capture your vision in breathtaking 4K Ultra HD with the camcorder that fits in the palm of your hand. Sporting resolution that's four times clearer than HD, this changes everything. Footage is captured with true cinematic depth thanks to the 1" image sensor and video is recorded with total versatility in mind: XAVCS*, AVCHD and MP4. Put one in your hand and tell your story in 4K.  *Class 10+ SDXC memory card is required for recording in XAVC S.   Capture 4k/30p Video That Far Exceeds HD Resolution   Capture the finest details in 4k (Full HD 4x resolution, QFHD: 3840 x 2160). This camcorder allows incredibly high resolution, to produce vibrant and extremely realistic images. What's more, the blazingly fast image processor is the same one employed in professional Sony models, making it possible to record 30p movies at the camera's full resolution for incredibly smooth and sharp playback, with no loss in realism, even when panning the camera and shooting moving.   1" Exmor R CMOS Sensor w/ Direct Pixel Read Out   The Exmor R CMOS sensor realizes astonishingly smooth, finely detailed images by reading out every pixel's signal from the image sensor at accelerated speed. Larger sensors generally have to thin out part of the vertical pixel's signal, however this model can process the full signal thanks to the combination of 1.0-inch sensor and BIONZ X processor.   Versatile Shooting w/ XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4 Codecs   The FDR-AX100 records HD movies in the XAVC S* format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP42 wrapper. The highly compressed files allow extensive record times. The camcorder also records in AVCHD, ideal for quality video for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning. Additionally, the camcorder can shoot MP4 HD video, which is ideal for sharing over the internet at up to 28Mbps. Having the ability to switch between all three of three formats makes this camcorder an ideal tool that is versatile for creating content to live in a number of different environments.  *Class 10+ SDXC memory card is required for recording in XAVC S.   Zeiss Vario Sonnar T Lens w/ 12x Optical Zoom   The FDR-AX100 comes equipped with a newly developed Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that has cleared a series of tough performance tests. Not only is this 29mm wide-angle lens ideal for capturing grand landscapes, but it covers wide-ranging image expression thanks to maximum 12x optical zoom and 24x Clear Image zoom.   Multi-interface Accessory Shoe for System Accessories   Users can expand photographic and movie shooting possibilities by attaching optional accessories via the Multi Interface Shoe, including an electronic viewfinder, powerful external flash and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi Terminal.   BIONZ X Proce

The Sony FDR-AX100 4K Ultra HD Camcorder does a very good job of 4K video at 30fps, but only shoots 1080P at 60fps. Would love to see this camera do 120fps at 1080P. The camera and Sony tripod make a good combination for smooth video, but the tripod is very unstable with the center post raised. Good for home use and very easy to operate. I think this camera is a little overpriced for what you get, but overall I would give it 3-1/2 stars.

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT

This is absolutely top shelf. You will need a HDMI adapter to utilize a video capture device.. HDMI to RCA three cord. Exactly what I wanted

Outstanding camera

Beautiful compact, perfect capturing video and pictures I've owned. I more often than not just used for family shooting, built in with many features, turn on digital zoom (160X) would aid me to get the video from far off in the stadium for my son's high school commencement. Really happy with this purchased

Sony FDR- AX100

I brought this a month ago and I’m happy with it and the quality of the video

Great features

I'm an old hand at photography and video. Just recently purchased the AX100. It is excellent in every way. The large sensor produces great HD/4K. Very sharp focus. I like the ability to go fully automatically to all manual. I'm used to shooting manual and not proglem!

Excellent

Brought camera at the beginning of the year for shooting 4K underwater videos with external monitor

Nice camera

So far so good. I am just trying to figure out all of the functions.

Fdr ax100

Purchased the camera 2 days before we left for Kauai for two months. Just viewed the videos on our 4K television and the quality & color were better than expected; awesome colors of the ocean and landscape. Also took about 65+ pictures and they are also of high quality! Will be taking more pictures in the future. Don't have any videos on YouTube yet. 
Unable to view videos until we got back home but after viewing will be able to make adjustments for the next time to improve. Like the light weight and use of controls. Shot all pics and videos on automatic settings. The small flip screen does not do justice as to what actual video will look like on a 4K TV. Took some video will walking on the terrain to show the landscape; viewed best when no zoom was incorporated, less movement of screen when viewing. Zooming in and out is smooth and really didn't notice any change in quality of the video.

Is excelent and beautiful... I love you Is perfect .

Excelente

I purchased my camera about 41/2 weeks ago and am slowly making friends with it. So far the only complaint is there is no way to adjust the audio while shooting. I use mainly external mikes in manual mode. Having to go through two menus to adjust limits use. My wonderful Sony VX1000 had adjustments on the back of the camera and of course the broadcast versions I used had several external ways to adjust.

Almost perfect!!

In the next updates could improve the frames per second in 4k and take it to 60 fps? Sound 5.1 is also necessary to be able to use when recording in 4K, could it be improved too?

4k 60 fps ?

I've have only Bought Sony Camcorders. Love this Camcorder. Most Pricey and Best Camcorder I have ever owned.

Great Features

The camera is great and I would give it 5 stars in no time. However, if you buy a microphone you'd be unpleasantly surprised - this microphone doesn't fit the multi-interface shoe. No way for you to install your mike into this shoe unless you buy a $20 adapter, which is nothing else but a piece of plastic. Instead, I just filed down a piece of mike which is supposed to slide into the shoe, and voila! everything worked.

Don't buy this bundle!

would b better if it can do 4k 60fps / 1080 100mbs 120fps / slog2 slog3

A handy 4k

I use many activites, image is sharp, voice recorded was clear!

Image is sharp, easy to use!

Needed to switch from a Sony pro tape camera to digital format.  Talked around with other pros and the AX100 came out well.  Have used it on several shoots and it is fantastic when paired with other 4x equipment.  It is light and easy to hand hold - controls are in easy reach.  Only problem is the clip attachment for the extra mike - can not fit the mike shoe into the camera shoe!

It is light and easy to hand hold 

Great quality still photos. Pretty thick camera; nowhere near as fragile as my last camera. Easier to use than I expected. 4K video looks good. Accessories are nice too.

Nice Value

I am so impressed with this camera!  It exceeds my expectations! The auto focus is outstanding as well as the image quality.  In fact this camera is so good we are seriously considering purchasing a second one for my husband. Service at Adorama rocks. Outstanding and easy to navigate website makes purchasing a breeze!

Outstanding camera!

I did a wedding with it and am very suprised with its IMAGE clarity.

Performs excellent.

Just got the camera and on the first use, it is incredibly crisp in color balance and the focus is equal to none in all the Camcorders I have ever used

An amazing machine far beyond prosumer

When I studied the options, there were newer, less expensive models... But reviews indicated that certain features were lost over time and that the BOSS system might not be useful for my work. The only failure my 20 year old TRV720 had was a mechanical failure so the BOSS system was a concern... This older model had a great rating, minimal moving parts, big Zeiss lens system, excellent low light from a large capture surface, 4K and a remote. Doubly happy that it was available in a store.

Sometimes first generation is better...

We are very impressed with this camera and believe it is a great buy! The quality of the video is outstanding. We highly recommend this product!!

Outstanding Video Camcorder

Beautyfull pictutre! Professional ? No. When i recording in 4K resolution sony disable the HDMI output. I can not use external monitor. The focus ring in zoom mode, not smooth....

No HDMI out in 4K recording

good camcorder, upgraded from a 1080p hd vixia hg20. this one has a clear resolution that allows me to import the footage into tracking programs to do 3d tracking. the deviation is always quite low and the result is good for 3d tracking and compositing applications where computer graphics and animation are needed. this is probably a good stop over camera before upgrading to a red camera for 8k and beyond.

good camcorder

I was a little worried about buying this camera as I didn't see any reviews or test videos on youtube of sporting events. The reason I wanted this was to tape my son's soccer matches and develop recruiting videos for colleges. I will tell you the 4K videos are EXCELLENT. The coach was as shocked as I was with the video quality. The only real downside is the massive size of the file in 4K. HD video file size is slightly smaller but you can see the quality difference. Overall I'm glad i purchased this camera.

Great Video Camera

This is a great piece of gear. Aperture, gain and shutter speed controls at your fingertips. Program AE makes it idiot-proof if you want to hand it to an assistant to use as an extra camera. Variable speed zoom lever, low lux setting makes for great performance in low light, touch screen is precise and f/2.8 seals the deal. WiFi control is a simple setup and allows record on/off, touch focus and zoom. With the optional XLR kit, this is a much better choice for run & gun than XA20. Two small gripes: 1. I searched through menu for 20 minutes for WiFi before I realized system calls it "Ctrl with Smartphone". 2. Closing the flip-out screen turns off the camera unless the eyepiece is pulled out. I would have preferred an on/off switch on the outside of the camera instead of a button under the flip out screen. But I'm so impressed with this camera I'm going to order it's non-4k cousin CX900.

Best bang for the buck.

This is a great little 4k jewel. It is super easy to use, the battery lasts forever, and shoots great quality video. Look no further if you want to preserve your memories in 4k and not break your head with settings, though they are there. Expandable memory and features. Good sound too.

Awesome quality and easy to use

Great Camera! 4K is amazing, great indoors in low light. I would recommend this camera to anyone who appreciates great video!

Great Camera

Over cautious I always research as much as possible before purchasing anything. This video camera met all of my criteria and exceeded my expectations . Twice I have let independent film producers use this video camera when we were on film location scouting trips and they were very impressed with the size, weight, ease of use and clarity. A very wise purchase decision on my part. No regrets and I highly recommend it.

It Wow'd Me

Sony created a very serious UHD camcorder for a very good price. In the right hands and with a little knowledge this consumer product reaches deep into prosumer territory! I consider this a secret power tool for most professionals and ambitious filmmakers - used for layouts or second unit or even as first cam for many ideas needing a compact form factor with excellent quality.
