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.

    Purchased this camera to take on our family vacation to sunny Florida. I found it lightweight and convenient to carry. Movies turned out great of all our family fun. Made lots of memories to enjoy in the coming years.

    beautiful camcorder and love the quality of the recording. I wish charging the battery was simpler and more intuitive. Also I wish I could still record even with the camera door closed.

    Needed a camera to record our sons soccer games. Bought this and it would've done a decent job but decided to upgrade to a 4k for clarity. I would recommend this camera.

    I looked at sports cams but I wanted something more user friendly- that is easy to operate and easy to see what you are actually recording. This fit the bill. Even my 9 year old can operate it

    This camera is easy to use. You don't have to have advanced computer skills to use. It loads into your computer easily. The only bad thing is the sound, it doesn't record sound as good as other camcorders.

    Great little camcorder. It is very light, but it has good zoom. Bought for deer blind and it zooms in and sees deer great at 150 yards. Also takes pictures.
