to contents ↑Important! Not all people strive to “run after progress” and put new technologies into practice, but live by the principle “new is well forgotten old”. Although it does not exclude that you can use advanced technology options. If you relate specifically to this type of people, an article will be interesting for you “4K video camera - review of the device”.
Sony HDR-CX405
This is probably the best device from the budget category.
Important! The developer equipped his brainchild with an excellent matrix, even if it is a little small. As a result of this, the device can win the rest of the models in color reproduction, but significantly lose in detail.
Pros:
- CMOS matrix manufacturing technology.
- The average price is $ 250.
- Zoom 30x.
- 50 FPS in Full HD resolution.
- The presence of an HDMI and AV interface.
- Sufficiently long working time without recharging.
Minuses:
- Small dimensions of the matrix.
- Inconvenient display.
- Lack of interface for microphone.
Important! It’s quite a good camera that does not ask for stars from the sky. Most users are happy with this purchase. Unfortunately, the display is not the largest and does not support touch input, but the control is quite adequately implemented through a convenient joystick. The removable cover also alarms many consumers, but this oddity is compensated by the long operating time.
Perhaps this is the best camcorder for $ 250.

Also, the device perfectly records sound.

The device is equipped with a high-quality stabilizer with five axes, which is ideal for correcting errors with image jitter. The quality of the transmission can also please anyone.
Panasonic HC-V770
This product can be called a successful continuation of the previous version from the same manufacturer.

It remains only to wish the manufacturer to increase the zoom.
Canon LEGRIA HF M56
A modern novelty that wireless technologies have also not spared. The best part about this device is the presence of eight gigabytes of internal memory.

- Large CMOS-type matrix.
- Large display.
- Wi-Fi module.
- Built-in memory - 8 GB.
- The ability to connect headphones.
Minuses:

to contents ↑Important! Everyone is still surprised how the manufacturer managed to show the full potential of this matrix. Of course, its resolution is small, but the picture at the output is very decent, as many reviews of this model say. But the device is far from ideal, because the same zoom leaves much to be desired. And sound recording does not support the “five and one” format.
