With its powerful high-speed BIONZ X image processing engine and advanced new movie AF algorithm, the FDR-AX700 can hold focus even on fast-moving subjects such as sports, pets or children at play. Refinements like 4K face detection and object tracking technology make it easy to follow your subject. |

The Sony Remote is the only part that doesn't work the way I want. It can be used to start and stop recordings, but won't take photos, or manage the camera like it's predecessors did. It's a small gripe, because you can also just use the Wifi remote.
An outstanding and most noticeable feature is the steady shot. Shooting my first video with the new camera without a tripod I was bobbing and swaying but this made no difference to the movie. It was steady and perfect. The colors are dazzling.
I saw the reviews about 30fps v 60fps. Quite honestly 30fps is more than wonderful.
I love this camera, as I do most high-end Sony products.
The Sony AX700 and AX100 are both rock-solid pro-sumer grade 4k Video Cameras that will serve the advanced amateur and professional alike.
I use them on many of my professional video projects and the sequences from the AX100 or AX700 are virtually the same with a tiny visual cinematic edge going to the AX700, so, here are my observations;
What I like about the FDR-AX700 (As compared with the AX100)
Faster Focus in low-light, low-contrast situations more focus points.
Hot-Swappable SD Cards which allows for extended video recording while replacing cards. Never run out of memory.
Menu navigation while looking through the viewfinder (not possible with the AX100), work without your glasses.
Rear mounted HDMI connection... facilitates running the HDMI cable from the camera to monitor in stabilizing rig. (AX100 had that on the side)
Excellent high resolution fold out screen and high-resolution EVF
High Frame Rate Slow - Super Slow motion capabilities
What I Don't Like about the AX700
The remote control is the exact same as the AX100, in fact, you can start all of your AX100 & AX700 cameras with one remote and it requires line-of-sight to function. I was hoping for a radio signal remote.
I don't like the complex menu lineup. Takes forever to do very simple things like formatting media cards, finding and setting frame rates,
You cannot start and stop recording with the touch screen, you must use the remote or back button.
Tripod mount is NOT located at the "balanced" point but is located well forward of the center of gravity.
(end of things I don't like)
When you consider that either the AX100 or the AX700 are less expensive than a pro-DSLR Lens, they are a bargain and perform better than any camera in their class. Some may gripe about the 4k 30fps, but I am still not working in 4k, so I use the cameras for their ready-to-go form factor and truly exceptional cinematic image qualities.
The AX100 is very easy to learn and work through the settings, but the AX700 is unnecessarily loaded with extra steps and button pushes (getting the camera into the super slow motion mode for instance) and that makes it a tad tedious. You will be spending plenty of time in the owner's manual, which is ok.
Do I recommend the AX700? Yes, I absolutely do... If you already have the AX100, the decision is not so clear as they are producing very similar video quality. For me, the AX700 is a must have, and I am very pleased. Dual Card Slots and Super Slow Motion sold me.
I am ABSOLUTELY blown away by the video quality of this camera. I own a Sony AX/33 which is also great, but the quality of clarity and light / color reproduction is outstanding. It has much better color representation than my Panasonic UX90. I love this camera! The manual controls are fantastic. My only wish is that the it had an auto lens cap or way to attach the lens cap via a string so as not to lose it.

He was surprised how awesome this camcorder is.
The video takes classic images and the phenomenal results make him extremely happy.
Thank you for a great product.fast service and great price. Well worth the joy it brings into our life.
I'm still learning a bit but the one thing I miss from my old camera is that it gave me the running time of the current clip, instead it gives me the total record time. Not a big deal, I'm not going to dock it a star for that petty thing.
This is pricey but I figured it's worth it because it's a relatively new model and is loaded with features (many I won't use). I can't remember what it's called now but the stabilization feature works better than the old Canon camcorder this replaced.
