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.

    I do enjoy Sony products but this camcorder was not what I expected. The quality of the video recorded was only a tad better than an SD camcorder. The video still had that grainy look to it and to confirm I used both cameras at the same time to compare and I was unimpressed with the quality if this camcorder. I would not advise its purchase if your looking for clear video quality.

    Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I owned one before this one that I used for over 10 years (and it actually still works), however this one did not even last a year. The start/stop button gets stuck intermittently also when it's turned on keeps coming up with an error message and when I try to fix the problem does not do it! And the worst thing is Best Buy won't fix it and had me contact Sony to get it fixed and Sony would be charging me for the repair. And the only authorized service centers they have are in Connecticut and New York which means I have to ship the camera to them. Too too much work, not easy/convenient at all! I am sooo unhappy with this purchase and I spent $400+ on this digicam. :((
