Review: Great camcorder. - I purchased this for creating videos for my YouTube channel and, although I haven't used all of the camera features, it does a great job. The picture quality is excellent, sharp with good colour and the image stabiliser works wonderfully. The sound is good from the built in microphone, though I do use external microphones when the need arises. As with most Sony products the build quality is superb, I would recommend getting a proper storage/carrying bag as it is a lot of money to drop on the floor! The touch screen is small, especially if you have hands the size of shovels like I do, but I found a small capacitive stylus to be very useful. I got one with a pen clip attachment which clips onto the camera hand strap. Overall it is a lot of money to pay, but I consider it worth the cost.
Review: Great camcorder and excellent service from desertcart - I had a problem with the first camcorder as the sd card slot was not working. It did not light up and the software could not detect media so I boxed it back up and followed instructions on the returns tab of desertcart next to the ordered item in my orders. It was delivered on Thursday, returned by desertcart Locker Friday and the replacement camcorder arrived on Saturday midday. That in my mind is excellent service from desertcart and I am really impressed with how little communication I needed to do. desertcart even apologised that I was inconvenienced by receiving a defective camera originally. Keep up the good work desertcart. The camcorder, excellent as I expected. I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 64gb 95mb/s SDXC 1 TYPE 3 CLASS 10. There is no stutter or recording problems on the 24 frame/sec and 100mb setting on the video when played back. everthing is on auto and the auto focus and BOSS work when I attach a HD gloxy PRO 5205 DIGITAL WIDE ANGLE LENS 0.5X, also no vignetting at the corners.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the sony fdr-ax33bdi uhs-ii compliant**
A: In as much as the UHS-II pin out is backward compatible with UHS-I then yes. However, I have found no information from Sony explicitly mentioning UHS-II. Their recommendation is a bit vague in as much as it says you should use UHS-I U3 Class 3 or above for 4K recording. Personally I use a SanDisk SDXC I (which is UHS-I) U3 Class 10 64GB card and get amazing results. I have seen reviews from people using UHS-II cards which they say work, though I have no way to know if they are only working in backward compatibility mode as I can't see if both rows of pins exist in the socket in the camera.

**Q: does this camera allow you to plug in an external microphone, like a rode video mic?**
A: Yes

**Q: What is the battery life**
A: I video for 3hrs and battery goes from full to 1 bar left so guess 3.5hrs

**Q: Can I charge this while using it to record videos and how long for**
A: Hi Aman,
It's possible to record using the camera while charging. The total recording time will be limited by factors such as the available storage and the temperature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing camera
*by A***I on 16 December 2015*

I love this camcorder! It really is as good as they say. Had preferred to shoot small budget films with full frame Canons but was increasingly finding myself looking for something like this and eventually took the plunge and purchased. It is absolutely perfect in every way. Fast start up (instant), fast focus, great zoom, the steadicam feature is pure wizardry, night mode, flip out screen with a very intuitive menu. I won't go anywhere without this now, it's so good. The only downsides, as I'm finding with all Soby camera equipment is the build quality. Even in a sealed case, dust gets inside the mechanical lens cover easily and after three months every day usage it is now delayed each time I turn it on while the lens cover registers the screen open switch on. This is disappointing as I'm not sure how to clean it properly or get the dust out and for a very expensive little piece of equipment, I wish there were an optional screw on cover to double the protection at the front end. Hoping it can be cleaned and restored to its former glory asap.
