Model overview based on user reviews
The Sony HDR-CX405 camcorder is praised for its excellent video quality and ease of use, making it a great choice for amateur and family shooting. It features a 30x optical zoom and a robust internal stabilizer, ensuring clear images even when handheld. The camcorder is lightweight, making it convenient for all-day use, and includes a handy built-in USB cable for easy connectivity. While it lacks a touchscreen and WiFi, these are not seen as major drawbacks. Users appreciate its good performance in low light and the ability to shoot in various environments. The joystick control may require some getting used to, and care is needed when inserting memory cards. Overall, the Sony HDR-CX405 is a reliable and affordable option for capturing high-quality video without the need for extensive post-processing.
Pros
Cons
good image quality in daylight, but it proportionally decreases in poor lighting conditions. photo quality is like that of a smartphone, decent video stabilization, but it's still better to shoot with a tripod. I also liked that the developers decided to insert a USB cable into the strap. the sound recording is decent, but it's preferable to avoid wind during shooting (after all, it's not a professional model). the camera is perfect for amateur and family shooting, for example, going out into nature or elsewhere. overall, I'm satisfied with the camera for now. usb in the strap; good quality video and sound recording; video recording in low light; optical stabilizer no thread for filters, not a touch screen, does not shoot with the screen closed (perhaps I did not understand the instructions)  Oleksandr Haivan: use Sony HDR-CX405 week i recommend it should buy |
Happy with the gift! I received the camera as a birthday gift, and I liked it from the start! Very easy to use: just turn it on and shoot, and the image quality is excellent! No need to rack your brain and navigate through menu settings. It captures images indoors, outdoors, in the sun, and in the shade. Nature footage is especially impressive, watch the video review of the Sony HDR-CX405 on YouTube, you can get amazing shots with just one button press: https://youtu. Specific advantages: * Excellent 30x optical zoom, and even at 60x zoom, the image is acceptable. * The internal stabilizer is solid, and the image doesn't shake when handheld. * Sharp macro images; for maximum magnification, a tripod is needed. * Minimal weight! Feels almost weightless! This is important when you need to carry the camera in your hands all day. * Handy built-in USB cable. You'll never lose it and can connect to any device. * Two hours of high-quality shooting on the built-in battery. For a camera weighing 200 grams - that's great! * Optical swivel display: convenient for shooting selfie videos! Suitable for combined shooting for YouTube and other social networks. * Autofocus is decent, handling well in 8 out of 10 cases. For the others, can be adjusted manually. * Slow-motion replay and still frames yield good pictures. * The 1920×1080 mode is suitable for computers, TVs, and social networks. * You don't need to be a guru to edit a video, as no specific post-processing is required. Overall: inexpens There are no critical drawbacks, but there are features that you need to get used to: * You'll need to get accustomed to joystick control. It's better to manage files on a computer. * Some experience is required to quickly use manual focal length settings and so on. * This camera lacks built-in WiFi and a touchscreen. For some, this might even be an advantage since, in real life, you don't access the Internet through a camcorder. * Under Mac for iMovie, a converter was needed to import mp4/H264. It's easy to find. * By default, it records two copies of files in different folders on the memory card; this option can be disabled. Though sometimes it's convenient for quick viewing. * Insert the memory card into the slot carefully; if it's crooked, it won't be read. * There are no gimmicks. Overall: you won't be able to impress your friends with fancy menu items and cool gadgets. Instead, you'll have excellent video and impressive footage. use Sony HDR-CX405 month or more i recommend it should buy |

The camcorder from the Japanese company Sony is ready to compete with smartphones in video shooting. The quality of the videos obtained with its help is many times higher than the result that the cameras of most mobile gadgets are ready to offer.
Control
Only the essentials were included in the equipment of the model — it was even deprived of the possibility of touch input, which is why changing the video recording parameters is carried out using a 5-way joystick to the left of the display. You will have to get used to it well, but on a frosty winter day, this control method provides solid advantages compared to tapping on the screen.
Video recording
In good light, the camera delivers rich and colorful images, especially when shooting using the XAVC S codec, the consumer version of the professional XAVC video recording format. The maximum video resolution is limited to 1920x1080 pixels, the recording speed in it can reach 50 fps, and the bit rate is 50 Mbps(paired with high-speed SDXC Class 10 memory cards). With the deterioration of the quality of lighting, the detail of the video sequence drops significantly and the picture becomes very noisy.
Equipment
An optical image stabilizer is installed inside the camera, which helps to compensate for camera shake and make the picture in the frame smoother. The built-in microphone is responsible for sound recording, and there were no wireless data transmission modules familiar to the class of amateur video cameras on board the camcorder. Their absence had a positive effect on the overall weight of the model — in the equipped state, the camera barely outweighs the scale needle over the mark of 200 g.
Long battery life
A small protrusion protrudes from the body of the camcorder — this is how Japanese engineers implemented a built-in USB cable for connecting to a computer. In the stowed position, the tip of the "tail" is hidden in the sidewall of the handle. In addition to the pleasant impressions of the "baby", it is worth highlighting its long battery life — continuous video recording on a single battery charge in AVCHD format with a bit rate of 18 Mbps is carried out by the camera for 2 hours. This figure fully satisfies most needs in amateur shooting scenarios.
