Sony miniDV camcorder - HC40
My Sony Handycam DCR-HC40 is an upgrade for my family from a JVC SVHS video camera. My JVC was OK while it lasted, but it needed to be repaired more than once, and when my warranty expired and the same problem arose and it was to cost over $150 to fix it, I decided it would be better to just go...

Being the type of person who wants to get all possible features and yet not spend a fortune, this is the... Read full review »

But when looking for a camcorder the one reason you should be looking in my opinion is how good a video does its shoot. DISCLAIMER I didn't buy this camera. I looked at it when I was shopping around for a camera. I... Read full review »
Don't try to take this puppy to warm, moist places with lots of light
This camera works okay if all you do is shoot family (or porn?) videos at moderate latitudes such as Japan, continental US or Europe. Its battery circuit failed twice on moist climate (once in Tahiti and once in Hawaii), rendering it unuseable for what I use it (travel).

The DCR-HC40 is a good...
