Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great camera bought for Christmas. Great price. Lol

This handycam offers great options and the quality of the video is great. I am glad that I received the education from the representatives when selecting this product! Thanks Best Buy!

I have purchased this product during Thanks giving time. It's excellent Cam. I have used for my recent trip. Captured some good memories.

For the price this video camera can't be beat. I am a professional photographer on a fishing boat. It does everything I ask it to do. The editing materials that come with the camera are lousy. SONY Movie Studio is much better.

I got this as a lightweight option to carry around to shoot longer videos. Works well!

Practical and handy. Easy to use and very inexpensive

Very compact, easy to travel with. Good stability for those with shaky hands.

This camcorder works fine for the price I paid for it (I happened to get it on sale). But if you're hoping to get better sound quality, probably look elsewhere. This camcorder picks up pretty okay sound, but it doesn't allow for a mic input to get better sound. If you're hoping to use this a relatively cheap option to really start a focus on videos, I really recommend getting another camera. Otherwise, for family events or as a gift to an aspiring artist, this is a great option.

Lightweight, Handy, Less price. This is a good investment for novice video shooting. Recording in good light condition was good. Battery life is well to. The only thing which I found missing is touch screen.

love this camera its super lite and everything i want it has the only thing its missing or i wished it had rather is a touch screen menu. its perfect beyond that.

As my first video camera, it is rather easy to operate. While very lightweight, I worry how easily it may break as seems to be made of thin plastic.

Camera was great always using it for memerios hopefully get anthor one soon

I really like this product. It helps me record the moment I spent with my family. I think this product deserves it. The size is small. So it is convenient to carry.

Product is lightweight, must have a carrying case. Treat with extreme care. Must have warranty with camera.

I wanted to capture some Christmas footage discreetly and positioned it on a tripod hidden between poinsettia's it was amazing. Great picture quality and sound. The 30 minutes it recorded that morning was worth the cost alone.

Purchased this video camera to use with our newborn to capture all the "firsts". We are very pleased with how easy it is to use and hook up to the TV to show family and friends! We are non professionals! Would highly recommend.

Perfect camera for budget without sacrificing too much quality.!

Great camera for the price, good image quality and lots of automated functions. Not as good for advanced users or manual control. Video out is behind the lcd, which is also the on/off function, so the lcd is always on.

Was desperately in need of one, I love it, so glad Best Buy had it in stock.

The Sony HandyCam CX405 is a great budget option for capturing those priceless moments. It IS limited to 1080p recording, which, in this day and age, may be a bit low in terms of resolution for some, but most will get a lot of mileage out of this little guy!
