Already chic ...

I am looking for small technology revolutions (or jump technique) and with this camera I felt that way. Now I have the AX-100 for 3 months and am still very excited, but the Revolution I move times. ;-) But some functions can provide professional cameras loose in the shade. That's what.
I bought this camera as a successor as the successor of the Canon XH A1, which now has on his back already 7 years. For my corporate video projects I use the Canon 550D and used the cameras depending on their advantage. Soon I'll be on my youtube channel (Channel Camera check) time upload the project with the corresponding camera assignment.
Here is my brief assessment of the Sony AX-100
+ 4K: Great - clean, sharp image. Optics has straight lines and shows no typical artifacts (chromate. A.). The slight over-sharpness (edge ​​enhancement digital) can be a "mini" blur in post mitigate emergency. The lack of 50P can I cope first, but for slow motion that would have been great. But it remains to me yes in 2K. Presented firstonce.
+ Small and light. With a few additional components (Compendium Chrosziel, XLR Micro shoe) still slightly. But one should be a little tinkering for extended Handheld inserts.
+ 24x zoom at 2K. The transition to digital is only visually easy to notice.
+ I love the open of the monitor and the camera turns on.
+ Data transfer via Sony software and USB 3 reader works great.
+ Image data are easily recognized by Premiere CS5.5.
+ The automatic focus works almost without any problems and have been able to rely in good shape. Thus, once 2 eyes are clearly visible, I activate the automatic. I can assess the sharpness is not good in sunlight over peaking because I trust actually on the automatic. Although I normally shun in the professional field automatics.
+ Very noise-free up to 18 dB gain. But is also necessary for the initial aperture of 2.8.
+ Contrast is good. In some underexposure can loose the Gamma, recover without much noise to get to the top (in the post). Otherwise, I use a graduated filter ND 3 Soft. So as described in Video Active DesertsProduct. However, I think a 6 ND Soft course would often be more appropriate.

- I am already pleased nice blur effects through the 1 inch sensor, so you like blur has as 2/3 inch professional cameras. Unfortunately, this is just a little bit in wide angle at f 2.8 and at close range. The "Bokeh" effect is otherwise similar to 1/3 inch cameras, as the AX-100 when zooming immediately starts to close the aperture of 2.8. Unfortunately. I hope so much that the AX 100 successor sometime has the initial aperture at 2.0 or even 1.8. Wait.
- The zoom rocker is tricky if you want to stop or start clean. That can not be as good. Also to keep the 3 zoom speeds, do not always easy.
- The slow motion at 100 frames looks all right and it can be recorded without a time limit yes. Unfortunately, you lose at wide angle (croppt the picture in the corresponding cutout 720P) and unfortunately the image does not have the sharpness at 720p, as it should be.
I hope to publish soon more clips on my camera Check Channel YouTube Channel. We will see (on slow motion, etc.)
