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.

    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.

    I decided to buy a new camcorder so I could record better quality videos of trains and model trains and I am super satisfied with the high quality of the videos especially in 1080p. Compared to my old camcorder, the Sony DCR-SX85, it is definitely a much better upgrade. Once you figure settings out a little bit you will absolutely enjoy it. Anyone that likes to record trains and model trains this is a MUST HAVE!
