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.

    Good camera for the price. Very light weight. Right now iMovie is not recognizing the camera when I connected it via the usb cord so I can't give it 5 stars.

    With being a mom to four kids, we need a small handy camcorder to record their daily fun. This was a replacement to my Samsung camcorder which was my companion for about 3 years.

    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.
