This is the cheapest Camcorder that I have. I bought it for half the price of a GoPro Hero 5 and it actually has some advantages over the GoPro in some areas. The only thing I can't do with it is go underwater but it is so light and easy to use, while having a little more control than the GoPro as far as exposure goes that I actually prefer using it for vlogging than the GoPro. I also find the picture less contrasty and it actually is more easily manipulated in post.
So this video is a demo of me just walking around with it and recording the audio on the camera itself; not via an external mic. The audio is also better than the GoPro. In post, I just chose one channel and normalised it.
In my opinion, these cheapo cameras are ideal for beginners to learn on since they only partially hand over exposure details for the operator to tweak. There's less to go wrong. However, you still learn the basics of good video taking and more importantly, it's a cheap way of learning how to create something that 'tells a story' without all the worrying about whether the picture will come out!!
The freedom of having just this lightweight camera on a stick/tripod is great. No mic or even audio controls to mess up!! Although it is 'auto' as far as audio goes, this one doesn't keep ramming the audio to and actually sounds pretty good!! It never overmodulates!!
If you are considering buying anything that I feature, please consider the affiliate links below. The cost you no more but help me to get another video together!!
The CX405 isn't really around these days but there are others from Panasonic. This is the closest I could find... the CX240E (E stands for European)
