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.

    This was a spur of the moment purchase to replace an 14 year old Mini DV camcorder. It is used primarily for family events and usually for only 10-15 minutes. It has exceed our expectations. The image is great, the sound is good, and it is so easy just plug the flash drive into the computer. Glad I purchased.

    This is a great buy! We didn't have a camcorder that was HD, so this was a great buy at a great price. We video clips of our sons football games and with this camera everything is clear and we never miss a minute of play. It's easy to use too, so very user friendly. So small you can carry it in a pocket or a purse.

    The camera takes really good video. It is very easy to use. No major complaints so far. We used it all over the West including Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The menus can be a little confusing at first.

    I bought this camera for my son as a christmas gift. I purchased it during thr black friday sale. It was listed at a great price. My son was able to figure out how to use the camera very quickly. Its main use is for youtube video uploads. He really enjoys the camera. I would recommend this product for beginners due to price and its easy to use.
