Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this camcorder as an open box sale. I really like how compact it is compared to my previous Canon camcorder. The video quality is really good as well.

Love it!! Its nice and small takes perfect videos and captures photos as well. Great for memories.

Light weight quality camcorder for easy recording. Bought it for vacation and even the kids are able to use it.

I have always liked the line of Sony cameras and camcorders, but the quality of products seem to be getting cheaper at the same price point. The cx405 may produce good quality video, however, it feels like a small, plastic toy. Getting past the setup menu was also a chore. If you are looking for something small and light, you may be happy with this model.

I bought this camera for my daughter when she had her first child (my first grandchild). I was torn between this model and the similarly-priced Canon, but the Best Buy salesman said this was the better camera. It has all the features you would ever need to capture those precious moments in life. Yes, it does feel a bit "light" in your hand, as though you paid $250 for something that probably cost $10 to make. But it works like a dream. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

Our 14 year old son wanted a video camera with better features than his phone and we bought this for him. He loves it! Very lightweight and compact.

Easy to use and setup. Editing software from Sony play memories will not convert files to record to DVDs only posting to social media. Will need additional software to convert files to burn DVDs. Great for playback on hdmi on tv and posting to social media, but if you need DVDs, be prepared to buy software

Nice loghteeight, camera quality good, for the price you get what you pay for

Good for the money. Portable and suprisingly good quality video

The camcorder is easy to use and it take great videos. Perfect for my daughter to take videos of my granddaughters.

I bought this for my 15 year old daughter for her birthday. She loves it! It’s easy to use and has a great zoom.

This compact camera takes great videos. Good close up views. Still pictures good, but could be better with tripod. Also reasonable price

So far so good. Works great and takes great video for the price paid. It's smaller and lighter than I thought it would be.

Awesome little camera! Perfect for near and far capturing. Just love it!

A high quality camcorder for the price. A very lightweight camcorder for ease of use.

Bought for a gift. Wife loves the camcorder. Lightweight, great lens focus, battery last all day. So far so good.

We've had different cameras that seem to be so below the quality of this one, this one is great and it's so light. Great product.

I use this camera to tape athletic events and put them up on Hudl, and it has worked really well. It has quality video, good battery, and uploads quickly.

For a point and shoot video camera the video quality is excellent. The can give my Sony FX-1 and FX-7 a run for its money. If DV tapes are going bye bye this camera for under $300.00 is a great buy for beginner or professional videographer.

Bought it to record sons soccer games... battery last long enough to record whole game... video very good and supper lightweight.
