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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    A Solid Choice For Casual Recording

    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!

    Great small camcorder, light weight but powerful. Takes sharp videos, the zoom is awesome, easy to use. Long lasting battery. The charger usb is hide on the strap pocket. I have to look a video to find it out how to charge it. You can charge it directly on the usb socket or plug it with an extension female usb cord.

    I liked the way this camera zoomed in and out. I wish it used a full size SD card rather than the mini. Just a little hard to hold onto. Other than that, for the money, great value
