4k camera

Posted by Roger Bansemer on July 17, 2017 at 4:32 pm

I’m looking to purchase a small 4k camcorder. Sony is my brand of choice. I’m wanting something small so when I travel I can basically put it in a large pocket. Right now I have a HDR CX240 which is nice and small.
Anyone help me with some suggestions on which Sony camera to buy?
Thanks
Roger

Sony AX100 has a fairly large sensor, UHD@100Mbs codec, and focus ring/multi ring.
Add a ECM-AW4 wireless mic, or XRL adapter.

or

Samsung Galaxy 6S or newer, plus a mophie case for extended battery. (UHD @ 50Mbs codec)
Multi face focus tracking, tap to select track.
Turn off OIS, unless you like the look.
Add an AC3200 router for offloading images to laptop or other storage via network file copy, or just use the USB cable.
Selfie-stick a must.

I’m looking at the Sony AX53 which fits the size I’m looking for.
But thre’s also an AX53/B which costs less.
Do you know the significance of this and what difference there is?
I can’t find anything on the web about the difference.

This link with the /B is from newegg

After searching all morning I finally got in touch with Sony by phone and they told me there is no difference in the two.
The /B indicates the camera is black but the man at Sony said they’re all black, so go figure.
Mystery solved.
