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 bought this camera as an open box item It is wonderful. Just what I needed, easy to use, with great resolution because of the 9 megapixel still photo capability. I could not have asked for more. I used it for the first time on a vacation abroad and I came home with awesome results.

    Great basic camera. I don’t expect it to last forever, but the quality of the video is excellent. I bought to record my kids games and it recorded a soccer game with great color and little blur. Solid, affordable camera.

    I bought this for my son to make YouTube videos. It’s a good little camera. Feels cheap because of the plastic and how light it is, but it does work great. Only drawback is we are having a hard time figuring out how to get the external mic we bought to sync correctly with it.

    I got this camcorder during black friday (online) and it is really a great budget camcorder. If you are looking for an inexpensive camcorder that has good zoom, this is for you. We replaced an older JVC camcorder that died and wanted something other than our cell phone cameras.

    This is a great camcorder. I first purchased it for live streaming church services. It worked great but I had to move to a camera that could handle my need. I now use it for interviews and intro videos it does a great job.

    I got this one during Black Friday, mainly to replace a Nikon camera I used to shoot videos. I needed a good zoom lens for those school concerts. It does the job well, and I like the quality of the videos. Don’t expect too much from this camera, especially in dark conditions.
