    Pretty decent

    It is actually a pretty decent camera for the price point. It does feel a bit cheaper to the touch and feels almost breakable which is why it only gets 4 out of 5 from me. Features are on par for this product and similarly priced cameras.

    Just started using it. So far it meets expectations. The only problem I had was my fat fingers doing setup. But playback quality is great.

    Simple to operate and records fine. It seems slow to focus when changing the zoom level but this may be normal for all camcorders I'm not sure as this is my first one ever. I do like the zoom lens capability (once it focuses).

    We bought this as a replacement of our previous one. Our previous one looked exactly the same and was the same brand. We loved it but lost it unfortunately. Looking forward to using this!

    The Handycam CX405 is a great camera for those who desire to capture video of life's memorable moments. I returned the videocam because it did not meet my needs as a streaming camera.

    Camera is very bad in low light, very grainy Has great image in outdoor settings on Sunny days, but that's about it. The zoom is OK and audio is OK. The camera feels cheap. I returned it within about 5 days. I got the Panasonic 875 instead. Which has a 30% larger sensor.

    Camera is easy to use, but was disappointed that I had to use a SD card before it would function. States that there is internal memory, but won't work until you insert a SD card.

    Its a good camera. Could be a bit more less expensive as some of the features listed dont work like to auto correct for blurr. No you are in blur until you move out of a high energy area.
