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.

    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.

    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.

    Great camcorder! Bought this to record my son's playing baseball. Zoom-in feature is the main reason I purchased. Way better zoom than my iphone 12. This camcorder is only 1080p but its clear enough for my use!
