Questions & Answers

GINO M : is this a mini camcorder? what is the length>?NATHAN C : Hi, I would say its mini, yes. I don't have it front of me but I would guess it's 5" long or so. That should be listed in the specs tab I would think. Most of these are mini, the DSLR market has taken over the middle ground, then the next step is pro. I bought this for my son for videography classes, and he loves it.

Not bad

I prevously owned a handycam with internal HD and 30x optical. I enjoyed the product. This new handycam was a surprise at how light it was. It makes for a different video experience. The size is small for a big hand. It is kind of cumbersome to begin recording but the zoom button is ok. I am impressed with how clear the zoom is and the image stabilization doesnt compare to the more expensive model (cx680) but works. I use this to record soccer so there is plenty of fast moving objects at sometime great differences.

About Sony CX440

Smarter, simpler - For family fun and a whole lot more
Beyond high technology, Handycam performance relies on closer attention to human factors. Such as the flexibility to create, shape, share, and discover better ways for images to really move you. Plus, the focus on more carefree yet functional approaches to get to the heart of a subject. The integrity of Sony's know-how is dedicated to more fun and exciting movie making, from start to finish. This is more than just a new Handycam, it's a handier way of providing as much happiness as you can handle for this generation and those lucky ones to come.

For steadier images shot on the move - Optical SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode
Shoot steady movie images even while walking or zooming. Advanced image stabilization compensates for camera shake up to 13x more effectively compared to standard mode.

See life in a new light
At the intersection of visionary technology and design, Handycam image quality reigns supreme. A ZEISS lens, Exmor R CMOS image sensor, and BIONZ X image processing engine are the essence of picture performance. Zoom coverage as wide as 26.8mm is expansive, and XAVC S 50 Mbps of high bit rate recording captures scenes of remarkable dynamism in detail.

Up to 26.8mm wide-angle lens - Frame more landscape and indoor scenes when you can't step back.

Optical Zoom and Clear Image Zoom - Images look very sharp and less degraded even beyond the optical zoom range.

Premium recording that's ready for anything - For higher image quality and capture capacity
Based on the professional XAVC format, the XAVC S format for consumer use supports high bitrates for recording high-resolution, action-filled movies.

Exmor R CMOS image sensor - Twice the light sensitivity of conventional sensors for outstanding low-light image capture.

BIONZ X image processing engine - Quickly transforms data from the sensor into richly textured high-resolution movies and photos.

ZEISS lens - Works with the Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor to deliver superior optical performance.

More functional for more fun - Extending the joy of shooting, editing, and sharing

Shoot for more - Shoot, edit, and share as you like
When you want to aim higher in your moviemaking ambitions, this Handycam is ready for you. Multi Camera Control lets you shoot from multiple angles, using this camcorder as a central unit to set up and control up to five simultaneously and wirelessly connected cameras. Then manage and edit all the footage for sharing using PlayMemories Home software installed on a computer. You can even share live Handycam footage with faraway friends and family members through an online connection with Ustream, a popular video streaming platform. With so much functionality so conveniently at hand, there is no end to the fun that everyone can share.

Multi Camera Control - Take command of up to five cameras simultaneously via Wi-Fi. The Handycam can control their settings making the production of multi-view movies easy.

PlayMemories Home - PlayMemories Home has been updated for easy multi-camera workflow. User-friendly image management software makes it easy to import, organize, and edit footage.

Highlight Movie Maker - Easily get and share highlight movies with transition effects and music.

Live Streaming via Ustream - Share extensive footage online as it's being recorded in real time.

Motion Shot Video - Superimpose image sequences to trace split-seconds of recorded action.

Connect with a touch - Wi-Fi and NFC allow mobile control and image transfer
With the free PlayMemories Mobile app, remotely control your camcorder with a smartphone or tablet. You can also send data between Handycam and mobile devices over Wi-Fi at a touch using NFC.

Travel lighter - Built-in cable for PC connection and quick charging
The USB cable stowed in the hand strap eliminates the need to pack a bulky extra USB cable or AC adapter. For charging without a PC, use a compact AC-USB adapter (sold separately).
