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.

    My delivery was stolen from my apartment building and so I never got to try the camera, but I'm sure its fantastic. Great for people who don't want extra tech like Wi-Fi.

    Overall its a good camera for the price. The worse thing is opening the sidescreen which is also how you turn it on. If you have large fingers or wet fingers good luck opening it. I also wish it came with an on off remote.

    Enjoying the camera but was told by the salesman I need a regular Flash card but found out after I brought it home that I needed A Micro instead. It would be nice to have been able to save $30.00 plus dollars at time of sale.

    In built pier dongle is good idea but very delicate. It’s got broken internally leaves you no option to replace the whole camera unit. Zoom and lenses size good and covers well near range better than comparable models.
