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.

Does as it is advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera, lightweight. For viewing and editing the recorded material the best results were from downloading the free sony software. It would be great to have an option to buy an extended life battery for this camera. The battery life per use is not very long - approx. an hour.

Good quality for the price. Highly recommended.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am impressed with the quality of this little camera, especially considering its low price. Great video quality. It does contain mostly plastic parts but that is a small tradeoff for all of the features and the reasonable price.

Great camera for a beginner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the camera, the video is great. However, I do not like the still photos. Not sure if I have the settings wrong or not. I have no problems with sound like some reviews. Again, the price was right and I needed one for zooming in on my daughter's performances.

Good old fashioned Camcorder
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price and quality it was a good deal. I bought a open box and it was just like brand new. Nothing too fancy but gets the job done.

Great little camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a simple, easy to use camera with hdmi out for a multi camera video shoot. It filled the need. Simple menu and quick set up. Only thing that was confusing was where the charge cable was. It is attached to the camera and is stuffed in the grip.

Nice camcorder but difficult to make DVDs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camcorder was easy to use out of the box without having to read a lot of instructions. The video worked on drop box and on the computer which I downloaded it. However, I spent a lot of time trying to use the SONY program to make a DVD and never quite got it to work.

Great camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality and value for the money. The only thing that would make it better is night vision. But for the price, can’t complain. Good buy.

It's a decent Camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camcorder takes care of the majority of features that are typically required. The only thing is i noticed is that Sound quality while reviewing the recorded video is different on the computer when compared to playing it on the camcorder itself. It sounds better on computer.

Good Little Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a nice little inexpensive camera. So far, it has worked well for everyday activities. It feels a bit cheap/light/plastic, but until it is dropped, its durability is in question.

Decent price for decent imaging.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony does it again with it's entry level camcorders. It has what you need and with a decent zoom. Nothing too much here for the price you pay but it's decent for shooting family trips and memories.
