Expert opinion
I recently had the chance to try out the Sony HDR CX405 HD Video Recording Handycam Camcorder, and I can confidently say that its one of the best video recording devices Ive used. The CX405 is a great product for anyone looking for an action camera with a high level of image and audio quality.
The CX405 comes with a 26.8mm wide angle ZEISS lens, which allows you to capture stunning footage while getting closer to the action. It also has 50Mbps XAVC S1 1920x1080 at 60P, AVCHD and MP4 codecs, making it suitable for professional projects. The camera also has Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active mode, as well as Face Detection with voice enhancement and noise reduction, so you can be sure that your footage will look smooth and clear.
Another great feature of the CX405 is its Intelligent Auto mode, which automatically adjusts settings based on the scene youre recording. This makes it easy to capture footage that looks great without having to manually adjust settings. Additionally, there are seven picture effects available for still photos and videos, giving you more creative options when shooting your projects.
The LCD display on the CX405 is also very easy to use and navigate through menus. It has a 2.7 Clear Photo Plus LCD display that makes it easy to see what youre recording at all times, even in bright sunlight or low light conditions. The LCD also displays battery life information so you know how much time you have left before needing to charge the device again.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Sony HDR CX405 HD Video Recording Handycam Camcorder for anyone who is looking for a high quality action camera that can produce professional looking footage. Its lightweight and easy to use, making it ideal for beginners as well as professionals. The image stabilization system works incredibly well and allows you to capture smooth footage even in difficult conditions such as windy weather or fast paced activities like sports or concerts. Plus, its Intelligent Auto mode makes it easy to get great shots without having to manually adjust settings each time you shoot something new.
