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.

    Video quality is good, but the wide angle lens is not wide enough. I needed it to film in a small room. So I started looking for a lens like the GoPro has.

    Love the still photo & video quality, sound is great also....I recorded our band with it, great playback quality. At wide open width, it's pretty limited, could use another 3' width capability for videos.

    I bought this recorder because my right arm and hand don't work. I am able t o use it as long as I don't need to point it above my head. The kitten is now to fast for me but I can still take stills even if they are only 9mega pixels. That is fine for me. I am very happy with the camera except that it is always in the wrong room when I want to take a picture that isn't the cameras fault. I am able to hold it much better than my other camera.

    I like how light and portable this camera is, and it's also self-explanatory to operate. The charging method is a bit unusual, but makes sense once you figure it out. I only wish it used a standard SD card instead of a micro SD card.
