    The Sony Handycam CX405 is a good budget entry-level camcorder. Nothing fancy, but the 30X optical zoom takes better video than most expensive smart phones. Because of its lightweight, I attached a heavy duty lanyard with a snap-on swivel hook so I can hang it around my neck. I can then take video and not worry about dropping it. Be sure to buy a microSD card when picking up or ordering the this camcorder.

    This is a nice camera, pretty easy to use. Since I don't have a smart phone I needed a camera that was light weight to take pictures and short video. This camera has worked fine. Only thing I wish it did that it doesn't is let you get a still picture from the video. You can do it if you transfer to the computer and take a bunch of steps, but picture isn't great. But overall it is a very good inexpensive camera.

    Good video camera for an amazing price. Simple to operate I like how it comes on when you open the screen. Then shuts off when you close the screen. The zoom is good the field is good. I would prefer a touchscreen if I wanted to spend more money rather than clicking through the screens to delete videos. Overall like I said, a good camera for an amazing price.
