Specifications and Features of Sony FDR-AX700 4K HDR Camcorder
There has never been a better time to be a photo or video enthusiast. While the consumer market for camcorders and digital SLR cameras has largely disappeared due to improved smartphone video quality, tremendous innovations still occur regularly.
The latest step forward in camcorders brings 4K quality trickling down to consumer products. While 4K video cameras have existed for a long time in professional grade gear, in recent years we’ve seen a steady increase in the number, and decrease in the price, of consumer focused 4K devices. In fact, most top tier cell phones have shot in 4K since 2015. Given that millions of people now have these 4K video cameras in their pockets at all times, can the case still be made for shelling out good money for a standalone camcorder?

Extra Fine LCD touch panel
The 3.5-type Extra Fine LCD screen lets you monitor high-resolution images of approximately 1,555k dots, so it's very convenient and comfortable on the eyes as it reproduces moving pictures with subtle gradations of detail intact, allowing you to focus accurately on subjects in the shooting frame. Moreover, its touch panel feature allows you to select an autofocus point with ease.
