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.

    WE bought this camera to replace our old existing tape camera, and after a couple times using in (during our cruise and to tape some family events) it works so great. Easy to use, easy to hold, really a good product. Have loved our previous Sony products (televisions, walkmans, etc.) but this one goes to the front. Even easy to download our videos online, so other family members can access it. Definitely happy I purchased.

    This has such a clear picture. Easy to transfer information to a computer or phone to modify. If you are not a pro at video cameras please read about the specs when dealing with memory cards. It has a cap off at 64 GB

    Bought this to livestream our Wednesday night service that doesn't take place in our main building. We have to zoom and the lighting isn't that great, as a result the picture quality of this camera isn't spectacular. But that's to be expected since this camcorder is around $200. AND! I knew that purchasing this camera. Just needed something to get the job done without breaking the bank. When it comes to livestreams (churches mainly) sound quality is going to be more important the visual (if I had to choose). So if you're looking for something to get you started, this is a good camera to start with. I should note that I'd imagine that the video quality would drastically improve IF I didn't have to zoom in so much.

    I feel like it’s a nice camcorder for basic recording and for those on a budget. There are things my older camcorders had that I wished was on this one but this one gets the job done for a good price

    I purchased this to film youth football games. Camera has sufficient zoom to film from one goal post to the other. Resolution also allows for video editing and close ups without losing picture clarity or pixelating. Easy to use and has MP4 option for easy access without converting. Very easy to use 3 button control (zoom, record, photo), simple to navigate menus, and battery easily makes it through 1.5 hr continuous recording.

    I am really glad the sales associate recommended this camera. Not only was it reasonably priced, but it serves all of my needs... The only thing I didn't like is that the instructions were not real clear... So many foreign countries are providing "picture" instructions and you can't always tell what the picture is representing, so I had trouble figuring out how to use it at first... but I'm fine now...
