I played with an AX33 in a BestBuy, knowing nothing about it- when I noticed the lens moving around like an eyeball- I was quite surprised.
Supposedly it'll take out some of the shake and motion. But just how well does it do this? Is it as good as using a high end stabilizer? It's supposed to be better than software stabilizing built into most cameras.
In my rank amateur video work- I've used a tripod when I want stability- but I often would like to walk along wooded trails but that never comes out right with my ancient Canon HV20. I did buy an inexpensive Flycam 3000 stabilizer for the Canon- but it's not easy to control- so if the lens on the AX33 is very good at stabilizing the image of a moving camera, I might spring for it.
I haven't yet heard of any other camcorders with a lens like this.
Any comments on this lens would be appreciated.
