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.

    Sony - Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder - Bla

    The Sony CX 405 camcorder is very easy to use. This is my first camcorder and I'm taking videos like a professional. The instructions are very easy to understand. I like all the features and can even take still pictures if I want to. The camcorder went on sale for $30.00 less the next day after I purchased it and Bestbuy refunded me the money. I'm very pleased with my Sony camcorder and with Best Buy.

    Perfect handheld compact camera. I use to record my child’s sports activity. I like the built in connection to charge or hookup to your tv to playback recordings. Image and sound quality is great for the price paid. I wish the battery had longer life...I just make sure to carry a fully charged spare battery with me just in case.
