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 would recommend this to a friendno battery life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you hold this camera in your hand it feels like a child’s toy. Feels flimsy and cheap. Being Sony I figured it couldn’t be that bad. Well I was wrong. The battery is horrible. Took it to record my brother’s basketball game and didn’t even get to the 4th quarter.
