The Sony Handycam FDR-AX33 is a 4K-capable camcorder featuring 12x optical zoom and internal image stabilization for clear, steady videos. At its best quality, it records UHD, aka QFHD, in 2160/30p or 24p at 100Mbps with the XAVC S codec to a UHS-I U3 or better SD card. More prosaic features include a 10X zoom 29.8-298mm f1.8-3.4 Zeiss lens, though sadly one of the features Sony considers a "step-up" to the AX100 is a built-in neutral density filter. The AX33's design and handling characteristics make it portable and user-friendly. This is a 4K Handycam that your mom or dad could pick up and use, no BA in Filmmaking required.
To capture 3840 x 2160 resolution, the AX1 uses Sony's new XAVC-S format, which I think will dominate 4K acquisition for the consumer and prosumer market. XAVC-S employs a more efficient MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Long GOP compression with an MP4 wrapper. XAVC S is a fairly efficient codec, enabling a rate of around 1 hour of 4K footage for every 32GBs of XQD flash storage. For comparison's sake, we've been told that a 64GB card using Sony's full XAVC 4K codec will only manage around 15 minutes of footage at 60p. Of course, XAVC nets you full 4-2-2 chroma subsampling, while XAVC S is limited to 4-2-0.
The footage shot onto a Memory Stick PRO Duo and SD/SDHC/SDXC card in 4K resolution with Sony FDR-AX33, are normally saved as MP4 files. These files, usually known as XAVC S file for short, are not naturally supported by most media players and editors. When importing the Sony FDR-AX33 footage for playing back or editing, you probably will get an error message. Here I would like to share with you Acrok XAVC File Converter, a video trans-coding tool to help you solve the incompatibility issues.
