Overview

All the detail your movies deserve


Capture life exactly as you see it with the Sony Handycam CX240E. It features a powerful BIONZ X image processor, Exmor R CMOS sensor and ZEISS wide-angle lens so you can capture all your best moments in the finest detail.


Fast, sharp shooting


The new BIONZ X image processor is fast, powerful and reduces noise levels across the entire image. It works in conjunction with a highly accurate Exmor R CMOS sensor to faithfully reproduce all aspects of the scene in precise and natural detail.

New Zeiss lens

Whether close-up or panoramic, capture the scene with extraordinary precision and clarity. A 29.8 mm wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Tessar lens
allows for overviews without loss of detail.


Record for longer and longer


Enjoy up to 130 minutes of continuous recording time with an X-type battery. So you don't miss a thing, no matter where you are!

Get closer


Need to get closer to the action? Not a problem with the CX240E. A 27x optical zoom
and 54x high-resolution zoom allow you to capture those precious moments up close and personal without losing focus.


Shake-free video


Shoot on the fly without shaking or jerking. The SteadyShot stabiliser uses motion sensors to compensate for motion during recording. The result is smooth, stable video. And don't leave anything to chance with the6.8cm (2.7") 230,000-pixelClear Photo LCD , which delivers bright, clear images with a high contrast level and wide viewing angle.

Two films in one


The dual video recording
function allows simultaneous recording in two formats. AVCHD format for high quality video and MP4 for easy online sharing.

    superb images

    I gave it five stars because it shoots superb high-definition video and is easy to set up and use.
    it's a good digital camcorder and I bought it because it can film in mp4 format that can be read on a computer

    Everything is OK except one important point for me

    Perfect little camera! Except that I wanted to get the HDMI output, which works well, except that the icons remain embedded in the image, so this HDMI output is unusable LIVE as a TV set camera...

    Good value for money

    Easy to use, a small regret about the integrated stabilizer which lacks a little stabilization... unless it is me who shakes.

    Very satisfied

    The quality of the videos and photos is excellent, it is very light and small, not at all cumbersome. It's very intuitive to use and is very easy to learn. It can record up to 5 hours of film on a 32GB microSD card. I am very happy with this purchase and I don't regret it at all.

    Very satisfied

    Nothing to complain about at this price, very good film quality (I use it for still shots and without the stabiliser), not bulky, light and usable on mains so as not to be dependent on the battery.

    Very good product

    good value for money, the sony configuration interface is simple and intuitive. A plus for the usb cable which is at the level of the dragone, allows the power while filming.
    The choice of video format is practical (mp4, mts or both). I've been using it for a while now and it's a great tool to help me with my work. I've been using it for a while now and it's a great tool to help me with my work and it's a great tool to help me with my work.
