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 is literally as light as a feather. If you're not careful, you will more than likely break it. Features and specs are lackluster at best. MicroSD card itself needs to be inserted into an unfortunate location (no option to use an adapter) and is a hassle to insert/remove.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
