    The Sony - Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder is easy to set up and use right out of the box. The large LCD screen and well laid out controls are intuitive and straightforward. It’s easy to transfer videos for viewing or editing.

    I got the camcorder about three years ago. Initially I was using it weekly, now just occasionally. It's worked good and I've never had any problems with it. The higher end ones have more fancy features but this one is fine for my needs.

    Easy to use, very small and light. I bought it for a friend and she didn't like the video quality but I think is fine for the price. Still she wants to return it

    Sony is always my go to for cameras and I am disappointed with the camcorder. Great pictures, use it inside and out and never have a problem. Only down side is it a little awkward to use the menu on the camera.

    Nice little camera. Videos are clear and quality is good enough for the price of the camera. My only concern is the plastic body and durability, and the limitation of only 32 GB sd card.

    This video camera was very basic and simple to use. Average person could take it out of the box & begin enjoying it. Only complaint was the box did not indicate type of memory card. I needed to exchange the SD card with the correct MicroSD card.

    Replaced my older, heavier Sony camcorder with this camera and it's much more compact and does more than it's predecessor. No regrets!

    The camera works great. I love how light it is and how it fits in my hand comfortably. There's hardly any weight in the camera at all. I hope it lasts me for years to come.

    This is a great camera for people who want to start using cameras. It's got great focus and zoom capabilities. You just need multiple SD cards when you are recording for a long time.

    This little camcorder was a replacement from a Nikon digital camera and from what my daughter use it for, it's 5 times better. Also we were able to capture her graduation ceremony with it and I must say it has great video quality! We're satisfied.....

    Bought this camera to take videos of family at Disneyland. Ease of use was excellent did not have to worry about any difficulty for others to use either. Had great time and enjoyed family without worrying about having to use a difficult camera.

    Still getting used to the video camera. The one feature that I do like is that you don't have to flip a switch to go from video to pictures, you just press a button. Haven't figured out how to view videos yet.

    I purchased this camera for my daughters 8th birthday. I was a little worried it would be too advanced for her. But it turned out perfect and she loves it!
