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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Very small but it actually takes a pretty good quality video. NOT 4k quality...but nonetheless good. In a darker scenario, not as well as I wohld have hoped for it to work though.

    We have been looking for a camcorder to tape our boys playing hockey. The picture is amazing. Better than using a GOPRO that we bought last year.

    The quality isn't the greatest, but you get what you pay for. It is great to pack and carry along while hiking or any other outing that involves light travel. Image stabilization is decent, and picture quality is decent in good lighting. Very grainy in low light, but again this is not a high end camcorder.
