Sony AX43 review: the last vlogging handycam with big zoom appeal

A female photographer holding the Sony AX43 camcorder.

The Sony AX43 is only four years old, but in many ways, it harks back to another era. Before the term vlogging became mainstream, there was filmmaking (or moviemaking depending on your region), and for that, you needed one of the best camcorders. New camcorder releases might be few and far between, but the AX43 has hung on, and it's one of Sony's last Handycams on sale. So what, if anything, sets this last cam standing apart?

Sony undoubtedly makes some of the best cameras for vlogging, with models for total content newbies through to master YouTubers. There's the Sony ZV-1F, a pocketable fixed-lens model with better image quality than the average smartphone, and the small Sony ZV-E10 II, which has advanced focus features and video formats to help with post-production editing.
