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).

    Really like this camcorder especially at this price point. Very nice clear HD video. Only the image stabilizer with zoom is not quite as good as my Panasonic.

    Just had a desire for a video camera separate from what is in point and shot cameras and cell phones. Research showed the least expensive, but nice unit was this Sony. Very simple and adequate for any memory recordings.

    The camcorder was perfect for our needs. The rechargeable battery lasted longer than anticipated and the 512 SD card purchased with the camcorder was able to capture the entire event. Excellent product!
