Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this primarily to take video of kids and their activities. The zoom is what sold me. This is much better than trying to use a phone from the sidelines. Very easy to use and great quality video

Extremely easy to use. Great quality high res videos and this camera is super light weight. I wasnt impressed with the photo quality, but then I realized it was set on the lowest setting, so now they are amazing. Love the ability to shoot photos while recording video.

I wanted an inexpensive flash camcorder for kid events, beach, etc. so far so good after one month. Easy to use, super light and clear recordings. Have not recorded a play or choir concert yet so not sure about sound quality. Very satisfied at this price point.

This thing is incredibly light! It is easy to use and produces great quality video and audio. Highly recommended!

Purchased this for a wedding gift, but used it to record the ceremony for the happy couple. Picture was crisp, and image was steady, even when removed from the tripod and manually panned over the guests. Controls are easy to understand and operate. Unit is light enough for prolonged handling. All in all, a good vacation camera that won't break the bank.

I have had this camcorder for about a month now. I only used it for the video. I thought my videos were of good quality. Sometimes it took the camera a short time (a few extra seconds) to focus. But this didn't happen every time. That would be my only complaint. But once the camera found the focus, it took great videos! I know some people talked about the quality of the video. But this is not a 4k camcorder and you didn't pay 4k money. I really liked how lightweight the camcorder was and the size. The optical zoom worked great! And it easily fit in my camera bag along with my other camera equipment! I would recommend this product!

Handy actually defines this product. If you are going somewhere where your phone is awkward then this is handy and easy to run. You can store the photos on card memory so you can keep going and replacing the memory cards. It is actually very useful for someone who wants video. It is very light weight and travels easily in a purse, and the photo quality is all Sony, top of the line.

Amazing little camera for the memories. It’s easy to use battery life is amazing. Audio and zoom are great. I’m so happy with it.

Used this on a trip in all light and weather conditions. It performed very well and the plus is it's size and weight. Perfect for carrying in a small tote bag or purse etc. Picture and sound quality were very good, almost as good as our larger more expensive Sony camcorder. I consider this perfect for traveling . Has nice feature of being able to take still pictures in between videos without having to change settings or messing up your video

very light camera ,very easy to run ,small compact size ,picture quality great, very easy to do movies .

We use these cameras for our live feed at church. They work great for us. Great image. Compact. Easy to use. Great value.

I tend to use Sony camcorders. This is the best one yet. It's small, super light, good battery length, well placed buttons, nice features...etc. If I had any complaints it would be that I wish it had nighttime features. We have lots of creatures around here and I can't capture them on cam with this because of that reason.

Videos are great quality it’s super small and light super easy to use

We bought this camera to record a graduation ceremony, it has an amazingly clear zoom, is easy to use and above all has a great battery life!!!

I was fortunate to buy one of the first Sony HD cams about I guess 10 years ago. Paid a fortune. Anyway, this newer model light in weight, easy to pick up and record and really easy to transfer to a Mac or PC. Video Quality is excellent. For the price and technology it’s the best. Why buy a 4K cam unless you only have 4K TVs and everyone you send it does too.

The Handycam CX405 is an affordable gem. Its compact size makes it easy to carry around, and the 30x optical zoom captures distant moments with clarity. While it lacks some advanced features, the 2.7-inch LCD display and reliable performance make it perfect for casual users. The low-light performance is surprisingly good, and the image stabilization keeps footage steady. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option that delivers quality results for everyday recording needs.

I love the compact size and picture quality of this camera. It’s easy to use and easy if sync to my computer. It has a lot of storage and thr screen is great. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great camera.

I was looking for a bargain and got a deal... just wanted to record my kids games for playback. Well, I got HD, easy to use, light weight & simple to connect to my tv for playback... priceless!

Much better than expected! I would highly recommend this video camera to anyone. Its very light weight. Very user friendly. Very clear video and great sound. Easy to view on you TV and computer. Small and compat makes it very easy to put in a purse or large coat pocket.

Video quality looks really good when connecting directly from Camera to my Samsung LED TV. Not sure why when I use a microSD card reader and connect through USB to the same TV, picture quality is noticeably worse. Really easy to use this camera, very light and compact.
