Beyond high technology, The Sony HDR-CX405 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. So 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.   Optical SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode  Shoot steady movie images even while walking or zooming. Advanced image stabilization compensates for camera shake up to 13x1 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 50Mbps high-bitrate recording captures scenes of remarkable dynamism in detail.   Up to 26.8mm Wide Angle Lens  Frame more of landscapes shots and indoor scenes where you can't step back.   Optical Zoom and Clear Image Zoom  Images look very sharp and less degraded even beyond optical zoom range.   Premium Recording That's Ready for Anything For Higher Image Qualities and Capture Capacity  Based on the professional XAVC HD format, the XAVC S format for consumer use supports high-bitrate for recording high-resolution, action-filled HD movies.   Highlight Movie Maker  Easily get and share highlight movies with transition effects and music.   Motion Shot Video  Superimpose image sequences to trace split-seconds of recorded action.   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 (optional).

The camera should have indicators for how much recording time left for the battery and SD card in use. 
Also should have the len filter ring to attach any filters we may want to attach to it.

Comments

I love this camcorder. Very simple to use and works great. The zoom works amazing and the play back picture is crystal clear. Great price and a great little camera.

Sony camcorder

I was able to receive this camcorder through a rewards program at my employer. It just arrived and I was amazed at how small it is. I have 2 much older tape-based Sony camcorders and I'm going to transfer those videos to a solid state drive and just stick with this small camcorder. 

One weird thing is that there is no external memory card included. So I purchased two 256-gb SDXC cards, the small Sony camera case and the Sony travel charger as well. But I am really amazed at the size. I can't believe how far camcorders have come in teh past 20+ years!

VERY light, powerful and easy to use!

An ideal camcorder to capture those precious moments in life. It is very simple to use and you won't break the bank with your purchase. It shines with high quality, action movies outdoors. Our proof is watching our great-granddaughter's soccer games. The close-up and wide angle scenes are captured with crispness that exceeded all expectations .

Quality results, affordable & simple to use

So far so good It has the right number of features for what I need, I see no need to pay for features I do not need like Wi-Fi, the video quality is very good, so far just use it for you tube, not taken any stills yet, the menu is easy to navigate, so yes so far so good.

Worth The Money

I had the same model previously but spoiled due to the screen blanked. I did brought it to Sony at Somerset but was told you do not have spare parts.

Value for money

Bought this a couple of months ago to record many things and it performs outstandingly well.

Handiness all-in-one

My last real experience with a video camera was a large clunky model. This new Sony model is extremely light with very simple controls. Superb clarity and sound. A great purchase.

Lightweight and easy to use

I have always wanted to buy this handycam. It easily fits my hand so it is comfortable to hold. Its battery is good too. Picture quality is very satisfactory as well. Moreover, it is affordable.

Easy to Use

a really nice product definitely recommended I'll buy again

Great Quality

Easy to used USB charger built in good quality video I'll buy another one.

Excellent

I bought my first Sony Handycam about 8 years ago & it lasted a lot of use. I use it for a wide variety of clips when I want small equipment I can carry easily. After the first died, I just bought me a new one. I'm very happy with it. Easy to use. Captures good footage especially with good lighting. Captures sound reasonably well too.

Bought my second handycam

Love using a device solely for capturing video. Very nostalgic seeing old Camcorder footage. The CX405 is basic making it super easy to use. No touch screen so no need to constantly wipe the screen every 5 minutes. Good old fashioned buttons. Good battery life and with a good sized memory card, hours of recording time. No 4K but the HD does not fail to impress. Low lighting conditions also not an issue. Due to low low price this gives confidence to carrying it everywhere. Can recommend the carry case LCS-BBJ. This clips onto a belt.

Basic but Brilliant

I bought this camcorder to replace an earlier model. Had to source micro memory cards but so far it's proved very useful and easy to use. We've yet to replay videos through our TV but no reason not to expect continued satisfaction.

Handy Sony Cam

I bought this a month ago and im satisfied with this product

Great

I've been using this camcorder and it's amazing. The quality is solid, works fine under low light. Perfect for capturing memories.

Good value for money

I am using this camera to video my Son's youth Football games. So far I have used it once and I love it! It seemed a little light and almost cheap at first for how much it costs but after using it I love it! It's easy to use and the picture is great! I needed to zoom up close and it does absolutely great!

Great Camera

This handycam i bought was a great deal because of its features like zooming in and out with stabelizer.

Awesome feature in lowest price

An excellent camera with many features which once explored add much to taking and making photos and movies. The design is sensible and it is an easy camera to hold and operate. Superb zoom and focussing, and a fold out, easy to angle, viewer makes using the camera fun and safe. The charging/usb cable is nicely concealed in the strap and I found the camera excellent when using a tripod. The camera is light, which betrays it's quality construction and technology. There is also a movie highlights feature which adds to the quality of video making. The handbook is useful when first setting up, but there is also an online/downloadable manual which expands on this. The on/off switch is handy, literally, and the menu dropdown etc is easy to use once familiarised. All in all an excellent Sony product.

Recently purchased this Sony Handycam and although its early days yet I am finding it to be a nice practical design that is easy use and download movies and pictures via the USB cable.

Nice practical design that is easy to use.

I bought this camcorder last month and I'm glad I did because of its reasonable price compared to the great features, it has a wide angle, lightweight and very simple to use. I also like the auto smile picture capture and dual video file capture that save my time to compress the file for sharing and save a lot of my hard disk space

Great features, lightweight and easy to use

fair product for begginners like me and great zoom

video recorder cx405 handycam

Not pricey. 2nd unit we purchased. Achieved out purpose of usage. Very satisfied.

Easy to use

Bought 4 sets of CX405, previously also bought and used PJ410, great series that sony provide with low cost, good image quality and clear sound recording.

Great Features

Bought the camera so I wouldn't have to keep borrowing my daughter-in-law's. So far it is working out just great. The files upload easily to my PC and I can hardly wait to do some editing on the videos and get them posted.

Great bang for the buck.

Iwas given the camera as a birthday present, it lay in a cupboard for several months before I used it on holiday. I was unable to change the date which was the 25th December 2015 also I could only see 4 or 5 screens I returned it to Sony Centre Wales and they tell me the camera is working fine . Therefore it must be my hands and fingers are to large for the joystick / multi task tool.

A good camera if you do not have to alter settings

The Handycam has stopped working after one month. Please advise how I get it fixed/replaced.

Handycam

had to return it the next day. can't get it to focus unless you're about 8 inches away.

Won't focus

I have no complaints about the picture quality. The micro sd card determines how long you can video/number of pictures taken before having to load it on the computer for editing.

Wonderful picture

All I want to do is video and load in my computer but can't because you have to jump through hoops to do anything.
