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.

    Good basic camcorder. Use it to feed OBS via a usb hdmi capture card, it provides clean hdmi out. Cannot comment on recording video or stills. Needed to set white balance manually to get good colors in a tricky mixed lighting situation fortunately that is easy to do.

    Bought this camera to replace an older Canon that had been dropped. It has all of the features I needed. The zoom is very clear even at full magnification, the menus are easily navigated with intuitive controls, and the USB cord stowed in the strap is a nice touch as well.

    We bought this camcorder to be able to record my husband's sermons as he was taking a preaching course. It was his last one that needed to be recorded. This camera was perfect , wish we had had it when he did his first. After that we had fun taking it with us on our vacation. It was easy to handle especially for someone not use to such technology.
