 Hey guys shave your 1,000 here today. We're going to be doing a review of the Sony handy cam It is the hdr-cx 240 9.2 megapixel, so it is the Cx 240 stay tuned. Okay guys Here we go. Let's get a light on here. That helps a little bit I Got this camera and I got it for a steal Okay, I got it off eBay. I didn't steal it. No not per se, but I Yeah, I got it cheap. I gave like 40 bucks for this thing. It is new And I've got you know the cables for it and everything but We're going to review on this a little Sony. I love sonys The camera I'm using right now, of course is not a sony, but it has a sony lens But anyway, this is this little camera here It's That's a clear image zoom 50 Excuse me 54 times 54 times clear image view I know or zoom So I know you can't read that because of this camera. I don't have the macro lens on So what I'm going to do here is if the battery don't go dead I'm just going to go over some things with you on it. It's just it's a plane Jane Let's get it opened up here Just a plane Jane you open it up and turn it on Let's cover here we go and I know like I said, you want you're not gonna see it with the camera. I'm using even with the macro lens Now I'm not cutting down the camera. I'm using I love it and I really love our new one with the night vision I may have to resort to using it but see these like I was talking about the other Day on one of my videos. They just don't there's no autofocus Well, there's no focus at all really So I really can't go into much detail, but there's your menu options and It's got all kinds of things you can do with it Um As far as that goes the uh Like our new camera has has more features And this does but this has more settings on it So without any further ado, I'm going to talk about this camera While I'm using this camera because I got a battery light flashing on this one that I'm using So I'll just kind of go over some of the things with you and besides I wanted to show you You know how good the sound is for Uh, just for a versatile little camera. It's great for Like a beginner youtuber or whatever. It's very light and it's very easy to use. You just point shoot really and Another thing that I like is the photo button You can Take a still image while You're recording the camera. I'm using you can't do that with So I'll go over some pros and cons with it what I like about it and what I wish it had because there's really nothing I don't like about it. Either one of these cameras. I love all my cameras Equally, but there's just some things I like more than Okay guys, we're back. We are now using the uh, the new camera that we got Excuse me The sony So this is what I'm filming with now. This is the one I was just filming with This is our first new camera that we bought what a year and a half ago the one that got wet When we was on the ship and it had some Issues it seems to be working all right now these different memory cards and stuff like that. It seems to be working Okay now, but remember it kept getting corrupted files on here The files would just be missing when I went to import them And they wouldn't be on there, but they'd be on here. So I had no way to And this that hot sheen mount I was talking about here on top that you can Put your light on just this light without having to have this one, but that's okay. You know Like uh This one, you know has a feature on top just like the one I'm using now You know, there's your zoom and there's your photo Your photo button there, but you cannot Record video and take a still image at the same time like you can on this one So there's there there's pros and cons to everything, you know, but You know, like I said the menu on the camera we're using right now is a lot Is a lot more there's a lot more stuff like on this one Here we'll go to menu on here. This is touch screen the one I'm using is not no big deal See just pretty this is really all you got you've got resolution your awb Which is your automatic white balance your color exposure And your metering Okay, which is all right, but the one I'm using also it it has a It's 1080 i 1080p and you can Set in each one of those 1080 1080 i and 1080p you can set Very high quality high quality medium quality low quality, you know In each one of those and then it's got automatic, you know, and then plus it's it's just got so much more And yes, you can on on the one i'm using you can Change the battery and get an extra battery and you can change it out You know just it goes dead or it's going dead pop it out from another battery into it And you're good to go The one i'm using opens up turns on shuts shut it and it turns off this one you can shut it will not turn off Unless it goes to the time So but it does have a power on it So The power button the one i'm using does not just find something i'm going to get monkey one of these she really likes it and She says it's light. It's easy to use See all these buttons confuse her, you know to turn on light. She don't need any of that display What's the display? Button as you can see If I can hit the display button here Maybe you can see Let's see takes it off like that just like the one i'm using You know so There you go Um, the one i'm using does it still has the battery light or the battery in see this one just went dead So we got done just in time The one i'm using says record menu and has the batteries and which which is fine Okay, but now something else i was really liking now I showed you on here Excuse me You you can't you know Even with the macro lens you can't get really close up. Okay Now i want to show you something i get this little thing. They always give you in your ebay packages or whatnot Let me show you this Look at that. I'll zoom in a little bit Like I said, it's 54 times clear image zoom or it's got 350 times Opti optical zoom or digital zoom won't it? Yeah, but look at that. That's You know, you can you can read it, you know I mean you can get right down to the nitty gritty with it and let it focus it does autofocus Whereas that one does not autofocus. It doesn't focus at all And as you can see so that's pretty pretty little Letters there or you know, they're fairly little letters that you can see You know To how big the camera is and how little the we all know how little These letters are on the bottom of something Okay, so let's see how well it will Yeah, you can you can read it You know just fine And we all know when you turn the bottom of a camera phone over how little them letters Them letters are to see, you know, you got glasses on blah blah blah, you know, so Yeah, I mean you can really Zoom in on this placement right here You know It will start going out of zoom, but now I'm halfway zoomed up, you know, so just back it off And it'll focus, you know If you can hold it still enough it would probably focus on its own See it's trying to right now, but I'm moving if I had it on tripod. I guarantee you I could focus in on that But I mean, you know, that's pretty close right there because I'll see what I'm looking at. There we go This is the placement Uh, like I said, it does not have an external mic Port where this one does But it does have a charging port. Well, it's got the charging cable. I showed you goes right into the to the handle um And of course, like I said, it doesn't have a light. It's not night vision. But hey, you know, what do you want? You know, I mean for You know less than 200 dollars But like I said, I got this one Like for 45, I think it was because that's some Earn points and stuff like that. So I'm going to get monkey one. She she seems to really like it She's been using her phone. I have her a movie maker I put on her computer, which I found out where to get it So I got my movie maker back on my pc So I love it. It's just so much faster now I'm going to keep on the other editing software because I I will use it You know for other things, but see this is And of course, this is not wi-fi It's okay. But yeah, the the one we're filming does but the one we're filming with does not So this is right there hot shoe. This does not have a hot shoe mode That's okay. And we know how little these oops These letters are I'm holding still there good See that's 24 megapixels the one we're using is like 9.2. It's okay. I mean it's it's good for for youtube videos So I thought I'd do a quick review on it and let you guys Uh, it'll know how much I like it if you get the chance, you know, I mean this camera It's it's it's phenomenal. I really like it. Now. Yeah, this one's 9.2 megapixels Which is okay still image so yeah, it's an Again, it's the cx 240 hdr dash cx 240 it is by sony And when you look at it It'll say hd avc hd Progressive, okay Now what progressive means is what I was telling you about how you can um Take still images on the fly as you are recording the other cameras that we have you do you cannot do that you have to Stop your recording Go into camera mode Or photo mode whatever Yeah, because it's video and then you got camera you have to stop your recording Go to camera mode take your picture Go back, you know to the mode And click on your video Camera again This one you don't have to do that. It's progressive. You can just take a still image You know while you are recording So I really like that about these things because sometimes I want to do You know some I've been having you to do screenshots if if I want to you know Do a custom thumbnail I've been having to use do screenshots because when I'm filming I don't want to stop filming Take a picture and then start filming again you know so Like right now, I just took a still image picture You know and I'm still recording which I will throw the still image up as well now the the Camera quality as far as for the pictures ain't as great as or I shouldn't say ain't It's not as great As the other cameras, but it's very impressive for what this camera is. I really like it. It reminds me of the one From a few years ago when I was living in Ohio that I used all the time You know, I probably got 250 videos I made with that camera just for youtube I lost it. I don't know what I did with it. You know, I don't know if I left it in a motel I don't know if it got lost when I moved down here But I know I I packed it and then it was gone. So I don't know whatever happened to it But it was a sony. I was a higher end. You know, it was more heavy and it was more You know a little bigger like these But uh, I'm not complaining this one here Does almost what the other one would do only it had a light on it It wasn't night vision, but it did have a light on it in the hot shoe mountain all that But this just reminds me of that that camera. So right now I'm really happy with this I think I'm gonna get monkey one here in a week or two and And let her go from there and let her start makes pretty good videos And you know, like I said, I wish it did have a little light on it, but You know, if it wasn't for this light here, you know, these little lights on these things Like it's right here on the top of the lens the little They don't do a whole lot get helped in close-up when we was filming this camera It kind of helped that. You know, that's why, you know, these these lights that I got here See, it's just it's amazing You know, I mean, that's you know, see they're just You know, so And then let's see. I got the finger out a little bit. I'll shut it off and You'll see the difference here So yeah, so anyway guys again There you go, there's so much I wish I could show you all the functions in the menu that this thing is loaded with But like I said with this camera here, even with the macro lens, you wouldn't even you wouldn't be able to see it um, all I can say is um If you're wanting a good cheap camera, absolutely get it You you won't be uh, you You know You'll be glad you did You won't be disappointed by any means so I'm gonna say I'm monkey wanted me to do this so Uh, I'm gonna go ahead and go for now see See, I mean it just It's amazing, but I'm gonna go ahead and go for now guys and stay tuned for more videos of our of our New trike.
