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.

    IN THE AGE OF 4K TELEVISION THIS CAMCORDER WILL BE NO USED IF YOU HAVE A 4K TV. I THINK HOWEVER THE PICTURE ON A 1080P IT WILL BE GOOD. THERE ISN'T MUCH FEATURES ADDED TO THIS CAMCORDER.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The quality of the image on this camera isn't very good. Honestly, a phone camera takes much better video than this camera. If you're in a bind and just need a video camera, this one will get the job done. If you're looking for quality, spend some more money and get a decent camera.

    I tried to get in to the menu and enter the date for videos and photos, made some kind of error and was never able to get back into it. The instructions don't include anything about how to go back. When I try, I get something about media that I think I understand and when I enter it, it doesn't stick, so I can't get any farther. I had to buy a memory card which came with a camera size card as well but no instructions as to what to do with it. So so far it us useless to us. I need someone from Best Buy to set it up for me as they claim to do when you purchase from them.
