I like this review, no BS. I think the Sony looks better, stabilizes more naturally and provides better range that allows for more precise tweaking in post.
Panasonic appears to be the winner. Produces a sharper Image especially in the telephoto mode. It also appears to be better in low-light. I did own the Sony FDR-AX53 but I sold it. The gyroscopic image stabilisation was incredible, but the camera didn't perform so well in low-light, especially when zoomed in on objects. It also had trouble focussing on objects in low-light when it was in telephoto mode. Otherwise it was a great camera and served me well.
Allow me to share my experience with you. I had a Sony AX53 unit for a few months, and I sold it out of desperation. If you tape live gigs, Sony is NOT for you then - its performances in low light conditions are utterly disappointing. On the other hand, the Panasonic HC-VXF990 delivers stunning results as long as you know how to properly set the unit in manual mode. AUTO MODE IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. If you tape live shows, you need to set the camcorder manually (F 1/50, gain +6 may be enough). The Panasonic unit will you deliver great results in such conditions, while the AX53 will most likely disappoint you. Anyway, whatever cam you choose, you need to learn how to properly set it manually if you want to achieve stunning results. And again, if you tape live gigs in low light conditions, then do yourself a favour and buy the HC-VXF1, which is event better than the HC-VXF990
Did you find the Viewfinder on the FDR-AX53 stiff to pull out just the other day my Viewfinder broke for the second time you sure need to be careful when extending the viewfinder. I film mainly Common Buzzards in the Sky and need at least x20 Optical zoom I'm tempted by the Panasonic HCX1 but its 3 times heavier than the FDR-AX53.
Hi @@paulallenMacca , sorry, I missed your comment. I didn't have problems with the viewfinder on the Sony AX53, but I must say I rarely used it - it's way too small, and didn't find much of a use considering my "taping style". The only times I used to pull it out was when I was taping and needed to close the screen - as you surely know, the bloody Sony cams stop recording if you do that without pulling the viewfinder out. I've just purchased the Panasonic HC-VXF1, looks stunning but I will test it thoroughly in the next weeks. You should have a go, IMHO - the Panasonic HCX1 is way too big and too expensive, too
@@triprasetyo3505, well, believe it or not, never had the opportunity since COVID screwed all my plans up. But I'll do my best to tape a gig in the coming weeks, just to make a fair comparison. Take care
I'm split. Panasonic had the better low light, and appeared to have better stabilization when walking through the alley. But when he's doing the "Ninja walk" @4:41 it almost looks like the Sony was on a gimbal. I'm really impressed with that.
I Prefer the Sony ax53 as it seems more natural. The higher contrast in the Panasonic seems to wash out brighter zones in the picture. Im sure with both cameras these can be adjusted.
If you could chose a camcorder with great video quality, good battery life for traveling, vlogging, hiking, backpacking etc, which one would you chose and why? Doesn't have to be one of these two but generally speaking. It needs to work good in low light and if it has an ir sensor it will also be good but it is not a must. I will be moving alot when filming both myself and others , maybe also put in up on a tripod occasionally.
Super merci. Sauf le EVF (que j'utilise jamais de toute facon) y'a pas de difference avec le VX1 qui est presque 200eur moin cher? Donc le VXF1/VX1 est mieux que le AX53 sur tous les points, meme sur la stabilization, sur l'autofocus, sur les couleurs, sur le sharpness, sur le low light, etc? Ca m'interesse de voir les fonctions d'editing, multi-camera, si il y a cela.. dommage qu'ils mettent pas dual SD et 4K50/4K60 avec HDR/HLG 10bit based en 4K.
attention, sur le VX1, pas de bague de réglage, pas de mode nuit (infrarouge) à 0 lux, pas d'entrée ligne (partagée avec prise micro), et pas de balance des blancs variable. Lire le test complet au besoin sur le site magazinevideo (accès Premium)
Thanks for the comparison. I found the Sony more detailed and less washed out and seemed to cope better with exposed scenes. Which is a shame since I have owned Panasonic camcorders in the past, such as the excellent HC 900 3MOS camcorder. And was hoping the Panasonic would be the better choice. So I decided to buy the AX53 which had the edge over the panny.
Bonjour, vous posez une question sur un modèle qui ne fait pas partie de cette vidéo. Néanmoins, je vais vous répondre : pour moi, il n'y a pas un modèle meilleur que l'autre mais un camescope qui va répondre mieux à vos besoins et à vos habitudes que je ne connais pas. En effet, le VXF11 / VXF1 a un viseur inclinable et des fonctions Slow-Motion et Dolly Zoom, pas le VX980, mais du coup, ils ne sont pas tout à fait au même prix. Je vous invite à lire les tests consacrés à ce camescope sur le site magazinevideo, par exemple celui sur le VXF1 : www.magazinevideo.com/test-en-ligne/test-terrain-panasonic-hc-vxf1/37448.htm Il y a aussi des fichiers-tests.
Wow 4 years later and these are still the current camcorders on the market (even though they came out 2 years prior to this video!). So I'm currently looking for a 4K Camcorder. Thoughts here are both have pro's and cons. Overall I'd say Sony wins unless you want film zoomed in full all the time (who does that) or do low light without additional lighting sources. Sonys colour is a little more neutral and without the crushed blacks that Panasonic is creating allowing for more colour control when editing. Sony also has a wider dynamic range as well, so Sony for me - thanks.
Its a shame because UA-cam is more popular than ever but camcorders are extinct in the sub £600 area. Infact you got way more for your money under £500 6-7 years ago. Now those specs are classed as semi pro....
Is the mic shoe in the back of the camera other models ? I want to use rode mic on video for older versions of Panasonic the mic shoe in the back made it hard for people to zoom.
I have owned both of these cameras. The SONY was sold off because the gyro/gimbalised steady cam is absolutely hopeless - it never stays still. Even on a tripod, the lens seems to be moving ever-so slightly, and following a moving object produces a weird effect of never really seizing on the subject for a moment. It's like you are filming everything from a small boat. The Panasonic cameras have, in contrast, nailed stabilisation. It's also interesting to note that throughout the Covid period, combined with shortages of microchips that has also produced a drought of cameras on the market, the Sony AX53 has remained available throughout (in the UK). Very telling indeed. I have also come across two other AX53 users who have returned their cameras to their dealers for the same reasons I did - that awful stabilisation. Shame, because apart from that, the AX53 is a very nice camera indeed. The Panasonic is superior however.
Hey! I shot with different cameras, but for the first time I saw strange stabilization at VXF1. I see her in all the videos on UA-cam that were filmed with this camera. The image wiggles from side to side. Often at the beginning of the shoot. I am very disappointed with this. Someone may not notice, but I often take it off my hands and it upsets me. The Panas 700 camera had much better stabilization
But the focus likes to hunt. I sent miy ax5e back to B&H and its replacement does the same trying to fo us business. Frustrating. Yes the stabilization is a tad better than Panasonic. But the poor focus is a deal breaker.
Thank you for this video, I narrowed my decision down to these two, going with the Sony, it has a better dynamic range, natural tone, and a photographic quality that the Panasonic lacks, it still look like camcorder footage.
Thanks for the video test. The Pana VXF1 video performance is very similar to the compact Lumix TZ90. The sensor size is the same (1:2,5) vs. (1:2,3), te zoom range (24-600) vs (24-720). Furthermore the TZ90 has integrated flash, 20 Mp photo, 2 bague de réglage, it is more compact and costs twice less! Pouvez-vous faire une video comparaison entre les deux?
Thank you. I can't compare them, sorry, because the manufacturers lend me the products for two or three weeks, but not same time, and I don't keep them (of course !). :) Furthermore, I don't need to do a comparison to tell you that you can't compare a camcorder and a TZ. The zoom is a real zoom (more comfortable !), the steadyshot is more efficient on VXF1, the usability is better, the screen is more adjustable, and so on...

In my country the AX53 and the VXF1 have exactly the same price, but the AX53 is a lot more popular. The 0.24" 1.5M EVF on both is (almost) totally useless. The VX1 is the same as VXF1 without the EVF, lens ring and front buttons, and (a lot) less expensive. Panasonic build an entire range on this 1/2.5" sensor and the 25-600 lens (2015 technology): VX1, VXF1, X1500, X2000, CX-10, so Panasonic believed in this technology in 2020. It's 2022, and the big question: is it meaningful to go back in time, or stay with 1" (video) cameras trend started with AX100 in 2014 and go for cameras from Canon (XA50, G60, GX10, XF400) or Sony AX700, NX80, PZ90, RX10iv, ZV1 all with brutally excellent 1" sensor with phase-detect video AF?
@Sky-hw8op I bought a used great condition Sony AX100 it's 4K is fantastic and I love its touch menu system. The AX700 has better AF but it is a hell lot more expensive and Sony screwed the excellent touch screen operability. If and ever Sony came out with an RX10 mark V that I might consider.
The HC-VXF1 is worse in auto mode. But it's getting better in manual mode, longer shutter speed, so there's intelligent contrast. In HDR it will be awesome. HC-VXF1 in auto mode is used short shutter speed, hard contrast will be. In auto mode, most camcorders may be worse so this proves nothing. The film proves nothing that excludes HC-VXF1 properties in theme mode and manual mode.
@Jack London But the HC-VXF1 has much better contrast in large light conditions and dark areas. Sony, then it usually gets bad contrast and loses contours.
Why oh why do camera companies forget about how cool camcorders are. Every videographer should have one of these in the arsenal. Imagine a new camcorder the same size as this with a log profile,10bit 422 and pdaf. I would snap one up straight away. Image stabilisation with a long telephoto is so important for just always having a camera with you to grab a moment

Very good eye to notice what most don’t see , iPhones suffer the same issues because of there tiny sensors, I first noticed this while I was comparing my iPhone 15 4k video vs my Sony RX100m5 point & shoot camera….in 4k mode even though my Sony RX100m5 is a lot older than my iPhone 15 the difference is that the bigger sensor ( 1 inch ) in my Sony produces much more fine detail than any cellphone can with that smaller sensor.

Wow, there isn’t a clear winner.. low light, I preferred the PANASONIC..image stability maybe more the Sony.. and outside - they both had times were they were better
Beautiful Kombination.
Nice
Panasonic est le meilleur, je pense.
Nice test.
Once in the future, put "camera 1" and "camera 2", let the people vote, and come back after a year and say what was which camera.
Very good Video! But: You make Video for the Internet - Internet is around the world - why not use english Text??
thank you for your comment. BUT : do you really need translation for ""mode Auto", "24x" , "zoom optique" or "comparaison" instead "comparison" ? :)
Haha, you picked the easy ones :-) Sur Trepied , en tapotant le trepied, en marchant vite/lentement , contre-jour -> whaaaat??? :D
As you seems not have Google Trad on your Web (ah ah), here is the translation : sur trepied = on tripod. En tapotant le trepied = when you shake a little bit the tripod. En marchant vite / lentement : walking fast / slow. Contre-jour = backlight. When you add several titles on your video, your risk mask the screen with too many words…
@@philippon11 I'm an English speaker, no French. I didn't need English translation. Very good video. Thank you.
magazinevideo I learned a little French at school 50 years ago, but have not used it until now!
La mejor comparación, gracias!
Cool test.
Thanks a lot for share.
UA-cam only allows me to watch this in 480p. About the same as watching a black and white review of a colour TV.
Check your line speed ?
El Panasonic VXF1 tiene lente más luminoso y colores más realistas y nítido
Price. Video Resolution. Zoom. Stabilization. Low light.
Both are terrific cameras, but Sony image stabilization is far better. I bought the Sony AX53
Better???
@@alexcubata its not better. The Panny is much better at longer focal lengths. I've used both and returned the Sony.
@@schex86 I know :)
@@alexcubata sorry I was responding to the original comment, looks like we're in agreement :)
So did I.@@schex86
I'll go for the Sony...who takes picture's in the dark???! :)
Not fair test. Panasonic has (auto intelligence +), making it contrasting and retaining the color of the sky.
Panasonic image + jaune/chaude
Panasonic has natural colors. Sony picture is anemic.
Sony
PANASONIC Wins!
Un SmartPhone tope de gama actual tiene muchisimo mas rango dinamico que estas filmadoras jaajjaajaj
Panasonic is better)
So nice💑💑💑💑💑💑💑💑🙎🙎🙎🚹🚹🚹🚹🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Sensor Format 1 / 2.5 Inch, (SMALL LENTIL SENSOR) Even in 3-4 meters distance, people's faces are not recognized. Pay attention to test videos. The quality of the video he takes is not worth the money. Let's never talk about photo quality.
Very good eye to notice what most don’t see , iPhones suffer the same issues because of there tiny sensors, I first noticed this while I was comparing my iPhone 15 4k video vs my Sony RX100m5 point & shoot camera….in 4k mode even though my Sony RX100m5 is a lot older than my iPhone 15 the difference is that the bigger sensor ( 1 inch ) in my Sony produces much more fine detail than any cellphone can with that smaller sensor.
Hammer dieser Camcorder und für Rund 500€ amzn.to/2QBq7xq auch echt sehr zu empfehlen!
неожиданно ужасная картинка у панасоник. Мылит, резкости ноль.
где это мылит?
Я бы не сказал что мылит. Примерно одинаковые камеры
@@mediasee566 у сони чуть темнее и чуть спокойнее? мне показалось, что там где больше света, панас чуть светлее чем надо, а в тени домов наоборот панас чуть темнее?
Sony wins
Sony win
Very good comparision. Thanks.
Sony wins
