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.

Super easy to use and very compact
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My camcorder stopped working this fall and I wanted something for Christmas programs and gift opening. This is very small and very easy to use. I'm not sure I like having to put everything on a SD card. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for playback. But overall a good value for the cost.

Good bang for the buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my 11 year old daughter for Christmas. The features seem nice and the quality of the build and video quality seem good too. I got it up and running for her and she figured out how to use it and the features it has. Got it on a black Friday sale at a great price and came with bag and memory card.

Great Little Camcorder for The Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much to say but I am 100% pleased with the quality and performance of this budget priced HD camcorder. I would recommend purchasing at least a 64 mb/second mini-sd memory card so that you can record in the latest HD Sony format.

Easy for beginners
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this small camera for filming my lessons. It's very easy to use even for a beginner like myself. It's lightweight. I like that the USB is hidden in the strap (very clever). I can either take pictures or record with it.

Simple to use but great videos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just something to make home videos. I wanted something simple enough that my daughters could use it. I've been very happy with the Handycam. It did well at a soccer game, family gatherings both indoor and out, a bit of traveling.

Surprisingly good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lightweight and feels cheap, but I totally underestimated the recorded video. Pros: not too complexed and not too costly, Cons: no port to connect an external microphone.

Video quality was okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to video a theater performance. The quality was okay, nothing wonderful. I think this is probably a good camera for the beginner. It was light weight and easy to use. Long battery life. Good quality, just not exactly what I was hoping for.

Love it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is lightweight, And it is very easy to use. I really love this. I bought a six dollar item to put on my dash and I screw it onto the top of it and it just suctions right there and videos as I go down the road. Of course it works extremely well in your hand as well.

Great for Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a really great camcorder for basic use. We are using it to document a journey and it's been working fine. I haven't had any issues with it at all. The price on it was really good for the quality you get with this camera.

Good camera, could be better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera has a pretty good picture quality and zoom overall! Pretty good low light, tends to adjust focus a lot which kinda sucks. Would be so much better if able to use a live feed from camera to pc.

Good dash cam for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've gifted this product to my mum, she isn't a tech savvy, and she find ease in using the cam, camera quality is good, but I'd not say great, and hey its not SLR. The display is not touch screen, but the navigation is easy.

Great bang for your buck!!!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! I got this camcorder to record my girlfriend’s pregnancy and our daughter’s milestones, and everyday life. Quality is great both audio and video. The flippable screen is a huge plus when I want to set the camera away and record all three of us. 10/10 would buy again!

Everything I Needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camcorder is a great purchase. I love how I can record and then alter my recordings. This camera zooms in really well, especially on my son. I love how I can move the camcorder around constantly and not have any blurred images and it doesn't have to catch up to what I want to record.
