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.

    Easy to use and setup. Editing software from Sony play memories will not convert files to record to DVDs only posting to social media. Will need additional software to convert files to burn DVDs. Great for playback on hdmi on tv and posting to social media, but if you need DVDs, be prepared to buy software

    For a point and shoot video camera the video quality is excellent. The can give my Sony FX-1 and FX-7 a run for its money. If DV tapes are going bye bye this camera for under $300.00 is a great buy for beginner or professional videographer.

    I wanted a camcorder that was simple and without all the extra bells and whistles. You can always find effects and editing tools that are more effective in apps. I’m not remaking Avatar over here, and just filming things for fun and reference. The only thing I wish it could do is turn on and record without having to open the view screen. I’m not sure if other current camcorders do that still or not.

    This is the perfect size videocamera to carry around and record special moments. The screen is small but it is clear. I love how the camera seperates each recording instead of grouping them all into one date.
