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 have always liked the line of Sony cameras and camcorders, but the quality of products seem to be getting cheaper at the same price point. The cx405 may produce good quality video, however, it feels like a small, plastic toy. Getting past the setup menu was also a chore. If you are looking for something small and light, you may be happy with this model.

    I bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas as he had been begging for video camera for quite a while. He had saved up for and bought an action camera last summer and was really disappointed that the audio recording was practically nonexistent and it just wasn't what he wanted. He LOVES this camcorder! He can narrate as he is recording and then, as a bonus, found that the camcorder will take clips and make a short movie with music in the background.

    Solid little camcorder. It's a 1080p 60fps recorder with a nice lens, great sensor and processor. Auto setting is pretty spot on and the scene settings are pretty good too. You don't have full manual control of settings but that's realy not a deal breaker. It's a very great value point n shoot camcorder.

    I bought this camera for my daughter when she had her first child (my first grandchild). I was torn between this model and the similarly-priced Canon, but the Best Buy salesman said this was the better camera. It has all the features you would ever need to capture those precious moments in life. Yes, it does feel a bit "light" in your hand, as though you paid $250 for something that probably cost $10 to make. But it works like a dream. I would recommend this camera to anyone.
