Sony HDR-CX440 Handycam Review

 

This camcorder can hold its own against the others we tested when it comes to extra features. It just doesn't take the best video. The HDR-CX440 can film in up to 1080p high definition resolution and take still photos as well. When we recorded video...

It has integrated Wi-Fi.

It only has 30x optical zoom.

The Sony Handycam HDR-CX440 is lightweight and easy to use. It also has built-in Wi-Fi and editing capabilities. However, it captures low caliber video.

Excellent & easy to use

 

This is a very easy camera to use and work with. I like how fast you can transfer the videos to your computer or table. Awesome product.

No regrets with purchase!

 

This is my first full HD camcorder and I have found it easy to use and easy to set up. I'm also very pleased with the picture quality and size of the camera. Also the software provided by Sony is easy to use. No regrets with the purchase of this camera.

Beautiful photos

 

Zooms quickly, focus response is good, light weight, great photos & videos. This amateur photographer can use it and obtain great photos.

Great Camcorder

 

We have enjoyed using the camera. The sound could be a little better, but we still enjoy it. We used it to record a singing at our church and it did well. We will be trying it out more as summer gives us more to film. We wish it had a better manual,...

Very good consumer camcorder

 

Videos of the camcorder have been posted online. It's recommended that you watch them before making a purchase as it will give you an idea of what the end result may be if you are making online videos. If you plan on using this for personal or family...

This camcorder is really lightweight. It weighs less than my cell phone. It's great for travel and can fit in any small pouch/bag or even a medium sized pocket. The video I shot with this ranges from amazing (outdoors, low movement) to good (moving,...

As mentioned, the image can get noisy if the scene is busy, such as a close up of moving water or crowd. This is similar to HDTV noise you would see. It's not bad enough to hurt film but, if you look for it, it's noticeable. Definately not a...

Quality of New Handycam

 

I have been purchasing and using Sony Video cameras for many years. Mainly due to the quality of the optics and the videos that these cameras have always produced. While I should not be surprised that the quality of this camera is far less than any...

Sony HDR-CX440 HD camcorder.

 

It takes a while to get the "learning curve" situated in using this camcorder. It has so many features that it's perplexing to a point where you need to practice with it like a musical instrument's until the technique is embedded in one's mind.
