I would recommend this to a friend A Solid Choice For Casual Recording
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera, decent video. Bought it as an open box item but was in great shape.
I would recommend this to a friend Compact and good HD recordings
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i am not a big fan of recording >3 minute videos with cell phones, although I admit it, I used to use a digital camera for videos, but got tired of so so videos of school events of my kids. The videos are sharper, and the 60x zoom works great and it’s very easy to operate. simple, just aim, record zoom in and zoom out, This is an entry model, and doesn’t have cool features, but you still get a decent HD video compared to using cell phones or small cameras. It can take still images but definately not recomended for that purpose.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value for price. Liked that it uses the same Sony NP-BXI battery like in my point and shoot camera. Camera focuses up much closer than I anticipated.
