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 returned a more expensive camera to buy this one as it was not as complicated for young children to use at school. The new camera seems to be working great!

    Very compact and easy to use. Not many buttons and gadgets. Our 7 year old son can even use it and connect to other devices to watch the videos on. thanks

    This is a very small camera that has HD video. It has hdmi to plug in to a tv monitor which is a plus. I use a 64gb high speed micro sad card which works great.
