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.

    Works perfectly for an amateur home video maker. I put some teaching videos up for our company and the picture and sound are great!

    I intended to buy a different camera as a gift but it was sold out so this was my 2nd choice. I've always trusted Sony so i haven't been disappointed, yet.

    The camcorder is nice size, and light, so easily fits in any purse. However I was surprised how flimsy it felt, and trying to use the menu is very cumbersome. I'm considering returning it.

    For the price you can't beat it. Not a ton of bells and whistles, but does what it is supposed to do. Would have been better if it came with a memory card though
