Unbelievable! I take a Sony HDR-CX160 1080p model for let's say $500 (cheaper on Ebay) vs an expensive Sony FDR AX 33 4K model for $1000 (also a little cheaper on Ebay), and then I aim it at a window at night. See for yourself, the 1080p has a better picture. Ok less pixels, yes. I took the 4k footage into Final Cut, and then upscaled the 1080p footage to make it the same size. Alright. Upscaled 1080p with CX160 looks better than original 4K with AX33. That's unbelievable, and i can only hope, that the 4K performs better during daylight. I have to try that next. Otherwise, what a waste of money. Sony should take that camera, and give me my money back. Btw the image stabilization and the zoom are much better with the CX160 compared to the AX33 too.
