Rank 8 out of 17Stiftung WarentestDie neue Art des FilmensReleaseOctober 2014

Sony hat mit dem HDR-CX240 einen vergleichsweise günstigen Camcorder im Angebot. Dieser zeichnet sich durch gute Qualitäten bei Video und auch Foto aus, die Tonqualität ist hingegen nur mittelmäßig. Auch bei der Ausstattung darf man hier keine Wunderdinge erwarten.

  • PositiveWeitwinkeleinstellung
  • Positivelange Akkulaufzeit
  • NegativeBildrauschen
  • Negativekein Sucher
  • Negativeunübersichtliches Menü

Zwar hat auch der Sony Probleme bei wenig Licht und neigt zum Bildrauschen aber gemessen am Preis ist das Modell dennoch recht passabel und hat dabei einen starken Akku mit guter Laufzeit. Doch auch hier fehlt ein Sucher und das Menü könnte aufgeräumter sein. Dennoch reicht das alles zum Preis-Leistungssieg.
