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.

    Creates clear recordings in bright light. However, creates fuzzy recordings in dim areas.

    I bought this camera to video football and soccer games. Can't beat the price but, it does have some shortcomings. There is an issue of clarity with rapid telephoto. Image gets blurred and then clears when zooming into a football play. Feels very light and I also noticed that what I see in the viewfinder/screen is not what gets filmed. The video doesn't get the bottom portion of the action so you get lots of sky and tight filming on the bottom.

    Good price. Good video and audio. BUT, camera is very difficult to use and ability to transfer files is so proprietary, I am uncertain how useful this product will be for me. Definite buyer’s remorse at this point.
