Got this for my grandsons birthday party, was very disappointing. It doesn't charge so will have to go back. Not ordering another, very poor quality, plastic like a child's toy

This is my first ever camera and i have to say. It is DOPE (this means very good) lol. It is SO easy to use. I am a beginner and if i can master this, then so can you. The visual and audio on this little camera is amazing. I'm using it to make my YouTube videos. If you're thinking about buying.

this was an impulse buy after our last camcorder broke three years ago - the fact that this uses sd cards is great. takes good video that looks great on 4k tv's and the audio is clear even when zooming to 30 x

Bought it and love it. It's my first camcorder in my life and just love it. It's little, lightweight, black. It's very handy. Maybe is a bit too plastic, it's Sony and I think that this brand and this price camcorder should be more sturdy. But still I love my new camcorder, it's my first one..

The Sony Handycam HDR-CX405 is a portable HD camcorder that prioritizes size and weight over features and image quality. It is much more compact than anything we tested, but we sometimes found ourselves wondering if the sacrifices it makes were worth it. It's certainly a minimalistic camera.

Its small size makes it incredibly portable

Its ports aren't easy to access

Light; simple; and accurate with high quality video

Lots of plastic, but isn't everything these days; That does make it very light

I always admired Sony products when it comes to cameras and video capturing. They exactly know how it should be. Based on the manufacturers reputation and my experience with their products, I purchased this product and as always, I wasn't disappointed on this.

No Compliants; As good as described; Product is amazing; Has got features all the minimum features that an Handycam should have; Light weight

None

I absolutely love love love this little guy. He is lightweight, easy to use, and holds so much more data than my phone. I have a higher quality video camera but it is big by today's standards and I frequently don't bring it because I have to carry it in a video bag.

Perfect family camera! Expect no great deeds, such as making a premium television series shooting with this camera. But as a family camera, give to the wife, mother, daughter shoot first steps, this is the perfect camera for you! Unfold the screen, flip up the lens cover and press the "record".

Pros: Clear video and clear strong audio. Cons: Other thoughts: I got this to take video of our church services and I am very pleased with it's performance.
