    Love the still photo & video quality, sound is great also....I recorded our band with it, great playback quality. At wide open width, it's pretty limited, could use another 3' width capability for videos.

    The quality isn't the greatest, but you get what you pay for. It is great to pack and carry along while hiking or any other outing that involves light travel. Image stabilization is decent, and picture quality is decent in good lighting. Very grainy in low light, but again this is not a high end camcorder.

    The Sony Handycam CX405 is a good budget entry-level camcorder. Nothing fancy, but the 30X optical zoom takes better video than most expensive smart phones. Because of its lightweight, I attached a heavy duty lanyard with a snap-on swivel hook so I can hang it around my neck. I can then take video and not worry about dropping it. Be sure to buy a microSD card when picking up or ordering the this camcorder.
