Review: This camera is the one you want, not those knock offs - Yes its a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. Sony is a name brand that provides top shelf items. meaning its great. True Color 4K, real ZOOM thats clean and crisp! , no pixel crap in your video, true image coloring. usb and dc power options, mic input, hdmi out, i have a 512G samsung Pro Ultimate SD card in there and its rocking at over 200MB/s wifi to a peer to peer to allow your phone to use it as a remote control, so you can remotly zoom pan focus, change features on the fly, Massive battery and its a big girl. look at the photo compare to my Cannon Vixia 1080P its replacing. comes with all cables, and 2 chargers, dc and ac , proprietary plug on the dc charger, but its WAY faster. you can use while charging, and swap batteries while on AC or DC power. DC power IS powered by AC but the power brick is big and converts it to DC for your battery fast charge. Anyway, its a great freaking camera, ive bought the cheaper chinese knock offs that say they are 4K, or 8K and there not. this is it. theres even a better model than this. but its like 1200.00 usd. this ran me 800$ and its great.
Review: EXCELLENT and Great Value! - I bought three of these for my video students, and now I'm getting more. I've found that my students are nervous to use "the nice cameras." or more professional and quality cameras. I think they are intimidated by buttons and features. I bought these as a stepping stone or segway to higher end gear and it has worked perfectly! They immediately see how great the picture quality is, and increased features and control-ability, without getting overwhelmed or confused. There are many capture formats, frame rates, codecs and more. The battery life is very impressive. The menu is easy to navigate. The sensor allows for high quality images. I'm happy and the price is right, especially compared to similar models by competitors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good camcorder
*by M***. on October 17, 2025*

I beat the heck out of my Sony HDR CX380 on all my adventures to include kayaking in the now Gulf of America. It finally gave up after many years. This Sony FDR AX43A is giving me some beautiful shots, but be very aware that it is larger and the battery sticks way out of the back is a little weird. The smaller camera is perfect to use on a selfie stick, but the bigger FDR , it's manageable but a bit of a struggle. I've added a picture with both camera for comparison. Still, the FDR is a very good camera and you will not be disappointed with the video quality.
