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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Easy to use. My 10 year old daughter loved this for her birthday. She had it all figured out within minutes. The only bad thing was I purchased it open box (excellent rating) and it was missing the charger. By the time she opened it for her birthday the return time (9 days) was up. So we will have to purchase a charger.

    Could not believe the promotion. Had my eye on this camera for awhile seeing as it has such positive reviews. I do not need a fancy sports action camera so this was much more up my alley for kids sports and such. Great promos often on this camera but was able to find one with memory card included as well as Best Buy gift card. Great quality products, and best prices around!
