According to our camcorder expert
The Sony FDR-AX100E is a compact 4K camcorder. The Exmor R-CMOS sensor is 4.9 times larger than with a normal camcorder. This makes the camera even more light-sensitive, which allows you to create beautiful bokeh even in low light. The new Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens has a wide-angle of 29mm and 12x optical zoom. At full zoom in, the optical image stabilization with active mode will prevent vibrations. With a minimum focusing distance of 1cm, you can also make sharp macro recordings. Adjust the camera manually with the conveniently placed buttons and the control ring around the lens. The LCD screen with touchscreen has an opening angle of 90 degrees and a rotation angle of 270 degrees. You can attach additional accessories to the Multi Interface Shoe. In addition, the camcorder has a connector for a microphone and headphones.

Unsurpassed image quality. Even the sound with the built-in microphone system is very good (also in surround). Connected to a 4K TV set, you will be amazed by the image quality. Recommended!

This camera is superb in terms of image quality. Unsurpassed in its segment and at the top. The camera fits well in the hand, weighs slightly more than its smaller brothers. Personally, I don't think this is a minus, but rather a plus. The buttons are easy to operate, although this depends on the size of your hands and is therefore very personal.
So far I have not encountered any problems with the autofocus. I also like the recording option via infrared for night shots.
The sound with the internal microphone is of a very acceptable level.
The housing feels sturdy. You notice that you use a camera from a more expensive price range.
The menu is user-friendly and after a few minutes you can get away with it, even without a manual and with very limited prior knowledge.
In short, it is quite an investment, but it is worth it. At the moment there is no competition on the market in its segment and this camera can really call itself a topper. Your money is hard earned, but well spent.
I'm totally unbiased here, as this is my first digital camera after resuming my old hobby of filming with analog cameras. So I have no experience with other digital cameras that do better (are there any?) or worse. Before I made the purchase, I spent hours and hours and hours comparing, reading all kinds of reviews and asking people for their opinions. I don't regret this purchase for a second and probably never will.
Do you like filming and do you want (top) quality in a manageable format? Then you have found your partner in this camera!

Incredibly sharp image in 4K, even reduced to Full HD. Surprisingly quiet due to lack of moving parts. Beautiful view panel and excellent viewer. You have to see it. Everything can be set manually: ideal for professional use. In closed manual too brief but online a very detailed manual is offered.
