Hi, I have just bought Sony XD9305 TV that has a 10-bit panel. I'd like to know if Sony AX100 can rec in 10 bit.
Thanks

No and never be.

Given the fact that it's a cousin to the X70, it probably "can"....but Sony will never allow it. ;-)

If you record externally on something like the BM Video Assist in HD it likely does have 10bit 4:2:2 on the HDMI output like lots of Sony's.

Nah...Sony only uses 8 bit 4:2:2 on all their HDMI.

Anybody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that Sony doesn't have one single camera in their entire fleet that has 10bit over HDMI. And,...again, I could be wrong but I think all their HDMI's for all camera are 1.4 and not 2.0.

Not sure what advantage a 8bit or 10 bit output from a camera would have when displaying it on a tv? I thought this only has a benefit when grading?
Also I think expecting a 10bit output from a consumer camera like the ax100 is a bit optimistic.

Again NO, ax100 has other video cpu proccessor, no possible 10bit in any way.
