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 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.
