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.

Perfect for the price
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best camera option you can find in this price range. Most in this price range lack functions that this camera has.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Size
Great camera.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera is great, just need to really work on finding the buttons. Neat that it is small but hard to find everything.
I would recommend this to a friend Horrible Image Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The video quality was horrible. A cheap cellphone's selfie cam has better image quality. The low-light capabilities was awful and dear lord, the frame-rate and rolling shutter effect was the worst. I don't know who this camera would be for, but it is not worth it, even if it was for sale for $50. Do not buy this. Return it immediately.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camcorder works well. However, I felt it needed more zoom so that my vision distance view matched 100% thru the camcorder before using the zoom feature.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat camera. Like the compact size.

Easy to operate. Works well in low light.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this camera to record live karaoke shows in low lighting. Works very well. The internal mic does a good job for the videos I make. Great value.
I would recommend this to a friendEasy enough for a 6 year old
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my 6 year old son and he uses it like a champ. Video is not the best quality but for his first video camera you can’t beat it.
