I wanted to get a sony ax53 4k handycam because i was inspired by the mv “Victim” by drain gang and want to shoot similar looking footage. Is it worth buying and if not can anyone recommend a camera that shoots the same as the video mentioned above.

yes
i have the sony ax43 and it's pretty great. the lens is awesome

no, you're not gonna get big sensor depth of field, or 10 bit log, but if you have good lighting and get the shot right in-camera it's awesome

I personally want a video camera with optical zoom. Seems like my most cost effective solution is an older camcorder.

Motorized zooms and ergonomics are the main reasons for using a camcorders the way I see it.
