If you can find an AX 100 or AX 700 Sony Camcorder, buy them asap! They are top performers and are being discontinued by Sony. You can find deep discounts on them while they last. I am very disappointed to see this lineup fade away. You can currently (November 2023) find them at more than $1,000.00 lower than the retail price. Good luck!
I have been using several AX100 units for years, I've recently added the AX700 to my prosumer arsenal and I am very pleased with it. Here are some of the physical and feature differences. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching.

I'm very often asked what cameras I use when making honeybee videos and these two are my most frequent grab-and-go cameras. I have been using the AX100 for many years and have never experienced a fail with it. BUT, the new AX700 lets me video in lower light with cleaner sequences and offers much higher frame rates for those amazing slow-motion video moments.
Both of these cameras have night modes... both have ok built-in sound recording, but I have always used the Sony top-mounted microphones which provide superior audio pickup with no camera noise. The built-in mic picks up zoom noises etc... and will record your breathing behind the camera, the Sony top-mounted mic ECM-XYST1M eliminates those problems.
So, for those of you who asked and are interested in the gear I use, these are my primary video cameras. What did I use to film this comparison? Another Sony AX-100...
In the near future, I will be demonstrating the slow-motion capabilities of the AX700 as our honey bees begin their spring foraging adventures! Get ready to bee impressed :)
I paid full price for both of these cameras, these were not given to me, nor did I receive a discount when purchasing them. I am required by Amazon to post the following statement when affiliate links are used:

There are several reasons to upgrade not mentioned here. The autofocus is much improved. HDR, and S&Q motion. I love my AX100, but when I can afford it the AX100 becomes a Bcam and the AX700 becomes the main workhorse. Great cameras, both of them.

Hi Frederick, very nice comparison video well done and thank you

Very informative thanks. I just ordered the AX700 upgrading from the AX53. The camera looks amazing along with the video quality. The manual settings are a great feature as you would always struggle with accurate settings on the 53 model. Can't wait to get started!

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this video. Really helped my decision process. Other RU-vid videos did not achieve that feat for me. Thank you.

Very nice comparison video. I've used the Sony CX900 since 2014 and am ready to upgrade to 4K. After much comparison, I've decided on the AX700. It has all the same features as both the NX-80 and the Z-90 with the exception of the XLR handle... and the SDI out on the Z90, neither of which I ever need. I'll go with a Mazantz mic preamp adapter ($100) if I ever need XLR mics.

Liked your review much. but the bandig on the lcd screen(

Nice video, would you recommend the AX700 as a good upgrade to a Canon HFG-30 for high school football and basketball? I love the Canon, but thinking about jumping to 4k.

@alteregos8949 6 лет назад

Honestly if the core, shudder speed and zoom level are the same then it boils down to what you want out of the features like LOS remote which is terrible I would also prefer the RF remote for sure. But if it’s a cost that isn’t going to put a dent in your wallet, why not enjoy better features of the new model! You can always sell the 100 to offset the cost of the new camera which is always a bonus. Great review as always and enjoy the new gear! Looking forward to all the future content you will film with it.

Great comparison. One thing I would like to know or verify (may have been answered previously) : Does the the 700 kill the 4K HDMI output to a monitor during record like the 100 ? does or can you use external record/monitor clean HDMI 4K Thank You !

Hi Fred, thanks for the vid. I also am an AX100 guy, but I get so frustrated with the poor auto focus. I am testing the AX700 and find that the auto focus is way better and the auto meter/focus is also better in low light. The spotmeter/focus is hard to set but I guess I'll get used to it. I really miss the touch screen though. It's weird, my AX700 AVCHD files won't play audio on my Windows 7 machines but will on my windows 10 machines. I wish the AX700 was lighter in weight- I shoot hand held for hours at a time in multi light situations. I like the adjustable audio level setting when using the Sony hotshoe mic on the 700, the 100 was auto set. Also, the zoom is way better and easier to control on the 700.

Which one would you recommend for filming lacrosse and/or soccer games? Was using another brand of video camera and sent it back because I wasn't satisfied with the picture and the auto focus was very slow and had a hard time staying in focus.

Question: Does the AX700 work with the Dji ronin gimbal as well? Or only the ax100? I contacted DJI and they said the AX700 wasn’t on the compatibility list for the ronin s2, but I noticed the AX100 is. Seems to me they would both be able to be used on that device. Any help would be great! Trying to find a gimbal for my ax700. Great video btw!

@Ganasproductions 3 года назад

Is the ax100 compatible the the ronin? And if so which one! I’ve been really wanting to get one but every time I look at the compatibility list I never see the ax100 on there. I’d really appreciate any advice you can give me! Great video btw, very informative.
