According to our camcorder expert
Capture the most beautiful moments in your life with the HDR-CX405 Full HD camcorder. Thanks to the optical image stabilization, recordings remain sharp and unmoved, even when you walk. With the 30x optical zoom, you focus on details or subjects in the distance. The 26.8mm wide-angle lens offers a solution for when you're recording a vast landscape or don't have room to take a step backwards. Because of the high light sensitivity of the sensor, you also shoot clear images in low light.

After a long hesitation between the Sony TX30 and CX-405 camcorder, I chose this camcorder.
The first impression was already good. The camera really weighs nothing, and is therefore wonderfully in the hand. Your arm will never hurt when you are filming for a while.
I mainly bought the camera, to film for my Youtube channel, at the fair. What is striking is that the camera can zoom wonderfully far, remains sharp, and does not vibrate with movements. Not even when you're zoomed in very far. Filming 50p is also great. Nice smooth image, I can look at it for hours. The lens hood is also very handy. This prevents dirt and dust from getting on your lens, for example when the camera is in your bag.
The colours, sharpness and image quality are perfectly fine. The videos made appear razor-sharp, also on the laptop and on the TV. The battery of the camera is also more than sufficient.
The only downside I can say about this camera is the sound. The camera records sound without or with little bass, and especially the music and loud noises at the fair sound a bit 'tinny'.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. This camera fits well in the hand and shoots very nice images. For this price it is definitely a winner!

Beautiful, compact and light camera. Does what we have it for, namely, making beautiful images easily. It is easy to carry because this camera is nice and small and light.

I have enjoyed using this camera for almost a year now! I chose this camera after seeing some samples on YouTube. For me it was especially important that the camera could film Full HD, was handy and films stably. This camera certainly does that and because of its light weight it is also nice to use in different ways (underhand or overhand).
I definitely recommend this camera for novice videographers! One day I want a DSLR film camera with a stabilizer for even neater finishes, but until then this is a super camera that I film a lot with and get compliments on the quality of the clips!
