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.

    Purchased this to film new baby. Have not had any problems. Very easy to use and extremely lightweight. Strap is adjustable for my husband's larger hands, so he is happy about that. We like the camera - seems like a great value!

    This camera is great for shooting simple videos for family and friends. It has everything you need to get started. It doesn't have the ability to use an external microphone, which would be nice. The zoom is great and it shoots good in low light.

    This was an impulse buy. I didn't NEED the camera, but I was in a small bind of my own making. Purchased at the Best Buy in Virginia Beach, this camera has ALMOST everything I look for in a camcorder. It's extremely lightweight, has a Zeiss lens. From what I learned Zeiss lenses are of very high quality. It produces very clear pictures/video. I found it add that the USB charger/transfer cable is in the hand grip, but whatever. This camera dos NOT do time lapse. Other than that, I find little to complain about. For my needs, this camera is ALMOST perfect. VidGuy069

    Pretty decent, clear footage, nice pictures, dual recording formats, mic is clear, also what I like, you can set it to capture snap shots with just your SMILE while you are shooting a video. What I HATE is there is no pause button, videos have to be later pasted together using a editor app. More HATE When the battery dies, oh boy, you can't use the camera while it is charging - the power cord is only for charging. or I haven't figured how to do it yet. I do food videos, we wanna EAT! so I don't always get to shoot the final footage after the battery dies - and that sucks. My battery does not last the 115 minutes the information says it does. 9 Days after the expiration date to return, I realized, it was NOT for me, I NEEDED MORE CAPABILITIES. Therefore I Strongly recommend you use it frequently within the 15 days, so you are sure its for you.

    This camera is very much on the small side, and purchased most for ease of use, but the recording quality is outstanding. Intuitive interfaces and a great product for the casual vacation user.
