Little Camera Big Result like Pro
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ok guys, before make a purchase I read reviews always from 1 stars. Just wondering why people make 1,2 or 3 star. some of them say very light, too little and cheap made. finally I bought this camera because the price was so low on blackfriday, and still thinking want to return it before opening the box.one day my phone was no more space for video taking, then we took the camcorder out to snow play with our daughter, the quality of video & picture make all of us can't stop to talk bout how good the quality of camera. Only $129 on blackfriday but quality was so amazing HD.

Funtional and Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was interested in getting a functional video recorder for my son's sports without a large donation for something I'd use infrequently. It has up to 60 or so zoom which is way more than enough for that close up shot. You can take pictures with said zoom for great captures of moments and picture clarity. So small it fits in jacket pockets unnoticeably at times (do the pat check to find it). USB as well as HD cable for either computer storage/viewing or watching video on the television. No complaints; perfect for the amateur with all the bells and whistles.

Great camera for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera during the Black Friday weekend so I got a really good deal! The customer service rep was really patient and answered all of my questions as well as helped me decide which camera would be best since I only plan to use it for recording memories with my family. I’m a bit old fashioned and don’t like to have videos on my phone. I have been very pleased with the picture quality as well as the ease of using since I don’t consider myself to be tech savvy. I would definitely recommend to anyone just needing to capture precious moments. I haven’t done much else but I may explore some this summer.

Memories Captured
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s easy to use and battery life lasts a long time. This camcorder has captured so many beautiful memories. Love that we can connect it to our tv via hdmi and watch the videos on a bigger screen too.

Great camera for somone who needs a Basic one!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chose to buy this camera to do my Train Spotting and it works like a charm! An amazing camera for the price! Battery life is average on this device, would recommend a second battery if using it more than 3-4 hours. Overall, I think it is an amazing camera! Setup at first was really easy, and it gave me the settings that a beginner could easily use. Zoom is a beast on this device, very light weight, has a camera lens cover, those are all of the amazing things!

Birthday gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a birthday gift for my son who loves creating videos and wants to be a movie director. He absolutely loves it! The only problem, which has nothing to do with the product itself, is when I made the purchase it recommended a scan disk memory card to go with. I bought it but later found (after he opened his present) it wasn’t the right size. Thought that was weird considering it was recommended to go with the product. A little annoying to have to exchange it, especially during these times, but it is what it is. Not complaining, just saying that to say, if you just started becoming an online shopper some things don’t look how they appear so really pay attention. It ‘recommended’ only 1 scan disk and said it went with this product but turns out the product uses a MINI scan disk. I did read the fine print I guess I just missed that part or assumed the recommended product was for it. Who knows but the product itself we love!

Nice Zoom
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a decent camcorder for the price when on sale. The zoom works well and is variable speed and quiet. The video quality is very good in good light, but not so good in low light or indoors. The photos taken with the camera setting are not very good. If you have a Sony camera that takes the X type battery, you can use it in this camcorder!

Excellent picture quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for parents as a Christmas gift and helped them set it up . It’s pretty much straight forward to use and operate. The only thing I did was set the date and time, the rest is self explanatory. The zoom and picture quality is awesome! I easily zoomed in from across the room and could make out all the buttons and words on their kitchen stove . Imagine stabilization is top notch! This was a special buy that came with a memory card. For basic everyday use you can’t go wrong. If were in need of a camcorder for myself, I would easily buy this unit . They love it .

Sony - Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder - Bla
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this handycam for our daughter's gymnastics meets. Our intent wasn't to get a high-end camera, but one that would capture the meets. It picks up sound very well, and is lightweight, and easy to use. I really like how simple it is to hook up to the television for viewing at home. I was hoping the picture quality would be a little better zooming in from long distances, it's a little fuzzy. However, that's a small complaint. Otherwise, from shorter distances, it produces a very clear picture.

Great on the budget.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to get something that was just for video recording and without breaking budget. This small camcorder does the job. Portable and easy to use. The quality of videos are pretty darn good. For the price it is very worth getting if you are just looking for something to record family moments or outdoors. Definitely recommend to anyone looking into a budget camcorder.

Great Video Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great video quality for the price. Don’t waste your money on a no name brand. This will offer better picture quality and features that others. Small and easy to use, my kids use it without any issues. Smaller than a soda can. Great zoom and focus. The menu is easy to navigate. Battery life is great and can charge quickly. Save your phone memory by giving this to your kids.

Nice camera for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.UPgraded to an HD camera when it was on sale for $125 over the holidays. Can't beat the quality for that price. Operation is easy and it was a big upgrade over my old Sony. Quality is noticeably better when recording on the high quality setting. Only drawback that I noticed is motion shots pixelate at times.

Point and shoot video
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a point and shoot video camera the video quality is excellent. The can give my Sony FX-1 and FX-7 a run for its money. If DV tapes are going bye bye this camera for under $300.00 is a great buy for beginner or professional videographer.
