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.

    I was looking for a casual use 1080P video camera that wasn't a "Go-Pro" style unit. This filled the bill at a great price point. I shot in all light conditions and wasn't disappointed. This model has some limitations which I was aware of - no view finder, no built-in storage, no WIFI. For my basic application it was a great purchase.

    Very lightweight. Seems to work just fine. For a few years I had this handycam but with a Hard Drive which made it heavy but I did like having harddrive. WIth this particular model, I had to buy some high storage SD disks and they are working out great.

    This camera is a good purchase if you're looking for an inexpensive camera that does a good job. We got this for our work. At home we have a Sony Handycam with a harddrive inside, so this one feels very light, and a little cheap, but it does a good job..
