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).

    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.

    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.

    I'm a coach and was looking for compact camcorder that would not break the bank. I had been procrastinating on buying one but finally decided to buy one. It's not the cheapest nor the most espensive but I just needed something to record the games for later film review to work on weak points. It's great for what I needed it for.

    My son did a lot of research for the features he wanted, and he checked with his TV production teacher. The salesperson said the same thing the teacher did, this is a great camera for this price range. Definitely worth the money.

    The title summarizes my view quite well: given the modest cost, this camcorder really exceeds expectations! I was worried that the picture would get blurry whenever there was significant movement on the screen (i.e. someone running). Fortunately that has not been the case. This camcorder is a great value buy!
