Sony 9.2Mp, Full Hd Camcorder, Black - Hdr-Cx405

Great camera

I am surprised to see that camera box was not have any hologram sticker, tape or nothing.it seems like opened before. I always believe Souq /Amazon products are reliable and genuine. It might be genuine but since box was not packed properly any one can doubt the product.

good quality and simple use

Its ok

It over heats and switches off.

Practical with good value for the product.Very good picture.

Pros: - Very easy to use - Battery Life is good, around 1 hour 15 minutes of Recording (which is a lot for casual use) - Manual controls are there if required - Compact and lightweight - GREAT optical stabilization (better than any smartphone) - Absolutely no complaints about video and audio quality. It will not be DSLR like, but this is not a professional camera. Its primary use is to quickly capture moments of time which you can cherish forever. Cons: - Manual controls are very cumbersome to use - Camera turns off if you close the screen module - Interface to playback the recorded videos is slow and complex. Better just copy the files to your PC and watch. Other things to note: - Good quality videos (1080p50) take a lot of storage space. Get atleast 64GB card for this. Also make sure you have enough space on your hard drives because they will be filling fast if you shoot regularly. (Though you can save a lot of space by converting the videos to a lower bit rate at the cost of video quality and your CPU's time) - It doesn't have a microphone input. Bonus: Seller 'Appario Retails' was generous enough to provide me a carrying case and an extra battery free of cost. Thanks a lot!

Was about to buy an very expensive camcorder until I heard about this one. It's exactly what I needed as someone who doesn't need all the super fancy things and at a decent price. It is really beginner friendly. If you can work on a phone camera, you can work this camcorder really easily. What was most important to me was the zoom and keeping the integrity of the quality while zoomed in. I just really want to film nature and birds. I don't really need super high quality as it's just a hobby. It zooms in a lot better than my galaxy S21 phone, so that was good enough for me. I also love the size of it, very portable and light. It fits in my jacket pocket. The length of the whole camcorder is shorter than the length of my galaxy S21 phone. I have small hands, so the controls were easy for me to navigate through. It maybe harder for people with larger hands. And as someone who gets overwhelmed with too many options, I really like how there's minimal number of switches and buttons. - There's 1 button to easily start/stop recording. - 1 button to press for photos (even during recording you can take pictures with this button) - The zoom switch next to the photo button on the top of the camcorder. - There's also a switch you can manually flip to close or open the lens cover. I like that this is a manual feature. There's comfort knowing I know for sure I won't capture something accidently when I have the lens cover on. - To turn it off and on, you simply need to open and close the screen flap like a flip phone. It's only bad if you are afraid to waste battery to access the HDMI port and micro SD card slot. You have to open the screen to access it. - Then there's only two controls on the screen itself. Not in a touch screen way but on the left of the screen there is one analog stick to move and make selection. To make the selection, you just press down on the analog stick. Underneath the analog stick is a button to access the menu/playback. I do not like touch screens so I really like this simple navigational tool right next to it. Oh and you can flip the screen around 180 degrees so you can do vlogs. Lastly, it has a built in USB cord (connected to the handle strap) to easily transfer files and charge the battery (with an included adaptor). You can adjust the strap, it's Velcro, and there's a loop you can add a lanyard to it if you wanted. The battery is removable. It comes with one battery. I recommend getting an extra battery and charger so you can save time on charging and have a back up. The possible deal breaker is that it doesn't allow you to input an external mic, but it has a pretty good built in mic. I haven't tested it in noisy areas yet. Sound quality isn't super important to me so I've been fine with it's built in mic. Also, it talks about an app or program for desktop to download to use with your camcorder. It has been discontinued since Feb. 2024 so that sucks. It's not required to access/transfer files though. I just wondered if it made looking at your files easier. You have to go through lots of folders to find your stuff. But at the same time, that is similar to finding your files when you plug in your phone to your computer (android & PC). Overall, I love this camera. Simple features for a simple man, with pretty good picture quality.

Eventhough this is an model, it's features meets my needs and budget. If it had a touch screen it would have been swell.
