Pretty decent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friendNice Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).
I would recommend this to a friendFirst time. Perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for a starter. Everything you need minus the memory card.

I would recommend this to a friendSony Handycam CX405 Camcorder is okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony Handycam CX405 camcorder is okay. I should have purchased a larger camcorder so I returned this. There wasn't anything wrong.
I would recommend this to a friendGood camera for starters
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Pretty low quality in 2023.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using Elgato's Facecam as a top down camera for my keyboard and mouse. Thought this guy might give me better quality when paired with a capture card. I was mistaken. Kind of a dinosaur TBH, really noise image, feels super dated.

Great camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have really enjoyed using this new camcorder. It has an outstanding picture and is so compact. Bought at a great price.
I would recommend this to a friend Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value for the price. It was kind of shaky on the cheaper stand so i would suggest getting a good stand. Doesn't have a mic plug in either.
