Customers are saying

Customers love the Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder's video quality and ease of use, frequently praising its lightweight design and compact size, making it ideal for travel. While some users noted the need to purchase a memory card separately and mentioned limitations in low-light performance and features, the positive feedback on image quality and user-friendliness outweighs these concerns.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Not user friendly but light to handle. USB cord in strap is a bad idea.

    I just bought this to shoot a video for a client but it ended up being a great camera that I'm adding to my permanent collection. The HD is crystal clear and it's a snap to use.

    This might work better closer up but I bought it for the zoom feature. The video was fuzzy and definitely not high-def. Pretty disappointed. Will be returning.

    Actually makes a MP4 file with no converting gymnastics. I only use the camera occasionally and it is fine for that. Seems sort of cheaply made though. Zoom lens is good.
