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.

    Its a very good Handycam except for 1 problem which was not mentioned in the description before i bought it. It cannot operate while it is connected to power. It can only operate from battery power. So while it has the capacity for over 13 hours of video, the battery limits it to about 45 minutes before stopping to recharge.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
