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.

    Had to go back to Best Buy to figure out how to use it - instructions were not clear - had to buy another attachment to transfer recordings to computer - this was not provided - normal cables were not recognized by camera - is a flaw in the camera. Hopefully, I can navigate the other functions and hope they work right. Complicated use for a beginner.
