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.

    I bought this for my dad for Christmas, finally his first camcorder! This camera is tiny and so light in weight! It amazes me how great it captures video because of the weight. You can playback on the camera and it includes sound as well. Comes with a HDMI cable to connect to the tv and it's super easy- just plug in and begin. I also like when you plug the camera into the tv and play a video, it continues to play everything next without a gap so it loops it together like one big video. I also changed the video quality to "highest" and it's way more clearer than the default setting. The battery comes with the outlet box for the option of wall charging or USB conputer charging so that's super convienient. Definitely recommend especially for first timers and for those who just love to record. One thing I didn't know and was upset about was it did not come with a SD card so make sure you have one available to use or buy one because the camera won't let you record without one.
