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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I love this product because it is easy and the best part of it was that I knew nothing about video equipment and I received help at Best Buy. I love shopping at Best Buy because they are always helpful and smiling faces are always ready to greet me. Thank you.

    Easy To Use But Not Greatest Picture

    The camera is really easy to use and is user friendly. The only negative is that although it is 1080 capture, the quality of the videos are not all that crisp. I am not sure as to why this is but it is something I noticed right away. It is certaintly HD, but looks more like 720 than it does 1080.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
