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.

    Great camera takes really nice video, excellent stills, nice close ups. I take it to Sweden and Denmark and it was not effected by the cold, wet or light snow. Saved my phone battery, while doing the tourist thing light enough to keep in a pocket or on lanyard inside coat. Very good.

    I love this camcorder! It is small enough to fit into my small handbags and easy to carry. I have received so may compliments on it. It did take me a few minutes to get use to maneuvering the "small" buttons to operate the camcorder but it's not hard to do.

    I purchased this video camera for my son. It takes excellent video footage. There are not a lot of features, bells and whistles, which means it is very simple to use. Less time learning, more time filming.
