Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021
It takes great still shots at the touch of the button and it's easier to transfer images, especially Videos, than from my Canon M-50. The M-50 stops recording video after about 30 minutes. That sucked on My Sons 2nd Christmas with set it and forget it I lost it! I have more money invested in the M-50 with extra lenses etc than this cost. Thinking about long term additional costs vs the slightly greater up front cost for the "Platform."
The only thing I wish were better was the low light capabilities but I don't often have that problem just know the 4th of July party comming up is going to be limited to pre-fireworks time.
Save your money and buy a Canon or Panasonic. This is a glitch driven piece of garbage.

It is also easier to track motion with that eyepiece than the LCD screen such as recording moving aircraft.
If you're using the AX-43 for indoor video, it is certainly the better choice to save money.
