I use several AX53 camcorders (on multicamera shoots) and I purchased the AX43 because it is (basically) the same image quality, stability, features, and build quality as the AX53, with only 1 meaningful exception...The AX43 does NOT have the manual control button/wheel (just behind the left side of the lens). I will use the AX43 as my crane camera (on a gimbal) so I don't need the eye piece, but it would have been great if they had left the manual control on the outside so you wouldn't have to go into the LCD menu options to make quick exposure compensation adjustments. Otherwise I am very satisfied with the AX43
