I needed a camera that takes crisp and clear video with nice vibrant color. There are limitations to the camera, such as the Sony handicaps that won't allow universalism, and the constant changing of modes when you wish to do utilize the other options.
With the camera's capture capabilities, and the accessory microphone that I picked up, for me this is a great camera, and will last years in my house. I have compared this camera's video to that of DVD cameras, and I like the video capture picture of mine a lot better.
I believe this camcorder is no longer in production. There are two main reasons why I ... I believe this camcorder is no longer in production. There are two main reasons why I purchased this unit: 1) Its compact size and 2) the "LANC" feature. So readers must take that into consideration. I needed a small enough unit so that I can carry it while doing adventure sports (snowboarding and mountain biking). The LANC feature allows me to stow the camcorder in a backpack and operate it remotely with a LANC remote cord that can be purchased separately(esentially start/stop record function). The times I've used it for this it did an awesome job! However, there are many other features I enjoy about this camcorder. The swivel LCD screen turns 360 degrees forward so that I can watch myself record of all things..myself! The digital effects like "old movie" or "slow motion" recording are great and it also functions like a digital camera (comes with memory stick). The A/V input allows the camcorder to be used like a VCR and the DV/USB inputs allows direct video capture to a computer (with the right software). It uses DV mini tape format which I find the most useful and convenient. Of course it has a microphone port which I've actually used with a semi-professional mic to conduct student produced interviews and works good in this capacity. I've attached a wide angle lens and light to extend its capabilities with great satisfation. This is actually my second Handycam (the first one was stolen and was an HC-30). The HC-30/40 are essentially the same camcorder from what I can tell. The nightshot plus feature works well in low light settings, but does affect the color obviously, its low light. The the backlight features does a great job of filtering out light and focusing in on the foreground. I use the larger battery that is purchased separetly and last about 3 hours, and I wished this battery was smaller. It comes with a battery that last 1.5 hours. Overall, I great little camcorder!

It has stopped charging the battery. Now that we have this one, It has been determined that the problem is in the camera not the battery or charger. The price and included parts make this a really good way to extend the life of a fairly dependable product from Sony. We have enjoyed the performance of this handy little device. Ebay has come through for us again!

They are much more easy to find in the bush with a color viewfinder. The small size of the handycams make them very portable while outdoors. An added bonus of the 40's is the doubling of megapixels. The only regret is that the optical zoom is just 10X. I purchased my hc-40 on e-bay, used, but in excellant condition, for a very resonable price.
