  • This camcorder is a must have if you want to capture videos.
Style: Camcorder Set: Base
Put the camera on a tripod to shoot steady, non shaking video. Simply push the wide angle or telephoto button while filming to change what you capture. Much easier than spreading your fingers on a phone during videos to get closer. The Sony camcorder most likely will still be able to get closer videos when the phone distance has maxed out. Order two micro SD cards right away. Order a second batter right away too. Now you are set to tackle any concert, play, dance competition, etc of your family and friends. Plus this camera is so small and light, it fits in your pocket easily. I love that I can capture multiple modes of video at the same time…the best quality video plus 720p videos. I use freeware VLC Media Player to play my videos. Plus that software can convert your high quality .MTS files to 1080p or 720p mp4 videos, if you want. I have a PC, but VLC Media Player works on Macs too. The camera gets a bit warm when filming continuously over 30 minutes, but it still captures beautiful video. The audio is decent too. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Please read this before you purchase Sony HDRCX405 Handycam
Style: Camcorder Set: Base
I've given this five stars because I really do think this is a dandy little camera, but it wasn't the right purchase for me, and I gave it away to a friend for an early Christmas present. I think you should know: 1. This is a very small camera. It is not the size of a Coke can, think more the size of a little V-8 can. It is entirely plastic and it weighs practically nothing at all. Really, it weighs less than my television remote. That can be good or bad. You can shove it into the pocket of a jacket and forget you are even carrying it, so it's always with you. Like a TV remote, you can probably drop it without damaging it because it has so little mass. But, if you have unusually large hands, like mine, or arthritis, like me, or your hands have become insensitive through age or manual labor, also like mine, you may have trouble picking it up or holding onto it. I can only get three fingers of my hand through the strap up to the middle knuckle, and that is with the strap adjusted all the way out, as loose as it will go. The menu button, a four-way rocker with an "enter" or "OK" button in the center is about the diameter of a garden pea. Not only will my big thumbs not operate this button, but the switch that changes from "video" to "playback" is directly below the rocker switch, and my thumb covers them both and I end up pushing both at the same time. If you leave this sitting on a restaurant table, you may not even notice that it is no longer in your pocket, because it only weighs a few ounces. 2. If I am reading the display correctly, a 64GB micro SD will hold 7+ hours worth of video. The batteries last about 2 hours and a dead flat battery will take the better part of 3 hours to recharge. Get the Powerextra 2 pack replacement Sony NP-BX1, also sold on Amazon. It has two extra batteries, and a charger that you can charge from a wall socket or from a car 12v outlet. I can testify that it charges faster than the wall charger that comes with the camera, and if you are at an all day event you will need those extra batteries. This is a very nice camcorder. It has an excellent lens, the digital zoom is just spectacular. It will take still pictures as well, even while you are making a video. I gave it to a gal who is very small, has small hands, and can text on a mini keyboard cell phone with both thumbs. She navigates menus within menus like it was second nature. She loves it. It just wasn't made for a fella like me. ... show more

  • This is a very good camcorder
Style: Camcorder Set: Base
As a fledgling YouTuber I have several cheaper action cameras and several camcorder type cameras. The Sony is certainly a step above the other cameras that I use to film fishing and outdoor experiences. The video quality is outstanding, the zoom is clear and the audio is fine. Although there is no way to attach an external mic I have never had a problem with the audio or even wind noise. The low light video quality is excellent. The only thing I would like is the ability to add a screw on filter. ... show more

  • Overall: Good
Style: Camcorder Set: Base
Great camcorder for the price. Well made Sony product. I do wish it had a feature to capture in slow motion. Picture is good and zoom works well. It is light weight and travels easily.

  • It's Now My Go-To Camera
Style: Camcorder Set: Base
I own a DJI Action 3 and a DJI Pocket 2 and an assortment of other action and still cameras, but much to my surprise this Sony has become my go-to camera. It's the one I grab when I'm heading out the door. The zoom truly is spectacular and I was super pleasantly surprised by the image quality. Yes, it's "only" 1080p but that's what I normally shoot in even when using 4k capable cameras. It's very small and light, super easy to operate, quick to start shooting, and the price was more than reasonable. Two things I wish it had: an automatic lens cover opening/closing, and a better file naming system. By that I mean I wish it would keep track of the last file name it assigned and continue numbering from that point next time I use it. Minor quibbles, for sure. Overall, it's an A+. ... show more

  • Great little camcorder
Style: Camcorder Set: Base
This is a great little camcorder with good features. I have used it to record 2 weddings and the results were excellent minus the operator bloopers. The battery life is very good but I did buy extras. It came with a power cord and an adjustable strap (that is just large enough for my hand). I'm no expert on camcorders but this 1 works great for me. The picture quality is excellent and sound is clear. Recording dancing and movement was smooth. I'm glad I got this 1. ... show more
