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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Added this to our complement of cameras for recording church services. It's been easy to set up and pull down video for offline editing. This model doesn't support webcam usage, that's the next model up. The microphone's audio quality has been surprisingly good, but we use a high quality dedicated webcam with a different built-in microphone setup for live streams because that audio is superior
