Strengths: Sleek, light weight, good low light video, improved touch screen software as compared to previous 405
Weakness: 2 hours battery life
I am using Sony DVD 408 after Sony DVD 405. It's sleeker and having CMOS 2.1 lenses. It’s pretty handy and all external interfaces placed pretty well, like memory stick card slot, USB. Touch screen software also improved a lot and very responsive and fast.
Strengths: small, handy, lightweight - good clarity in photos
Weakness: none known at this time
I elected to purchase this product as my 26-year old son has one and loves it. As we are miles apart, we take photos and send the discs back and forth for sharing. I would recommend this product to anyone - old, young, male, female; a great gift, if you can afford it!
