Love my AX53,agreed with your thoughts, I hate the flip cover over the hotshoe and I'm surprised I've not broken it off yet. I haven't had the same problem with the screen, but to be honest I use sony app on my Tablet too use as a monitor when doing talking head videos and only flip the screen when vlogging. I've been looking too upgrade the ax53 to the AX700 as it has a 1 inch sensor, but it's now out of production. Generally the AX53 is a great camcorder with a few annoying features
For me it was the simplicity and the amazing zoom and the price isn’t bad either. I looked at the Panasonic equivalent and it was far too complex for me to setup and double the price.
Can't say I've ever heard of sd cards "falling out" of camcorders, but I suppose it's possible with the cheap toy cameras on Amazon now. The AX53 has awesome picture quality, and you don't even need 4K. Just 1080p looks higher than average quality. I bought a CX405 and there is a big difference between them, even both on 1080p.
When you say ''compete with newer models...'' what do you mean? These 'prosumer' 'corders both from Sony and Panasonic stables haven't been updated since around 2018. If you're speaking about 'corders in general they are every bit as relevant today as they have always been - bugger mirrorless.
Its a great camera!! I have three of them 🤗 I would love Sony to bring out a new video camera with the same Image Stable 4k 50p and not 4k 25p
Oh me too. That would be great. I love the simplicity and quality without the having to know lots of settings.

It’s easier access to it really and I like the safe feeling of knowing the sd card is behind a closed door. Away from the elements
I’m looking for a fdr ax43 and wondering if i can fit wide angle lens on it for skate videos etc
You may need a lens adapter but I’m sure it will work. I’ve never tried it so I’d look for confirmation elsewhere.

Maybe I should have said more expensive models rather than newer. I love it and dispute it looking like something out of the 80’s it’s awesome.
