 Sticking with MiniDV July 19, 2010
EJ
I read all the reviews on this camcorder before buying it. I like the MiniDV format. I have a lot of tapes and would like to read them to disk in the near future. I like recording stuff from other analog sources. I am not going to write everything everyone else already wrote. I LOVE THIS CAMCORDER! The best thing I can say about it is that my technology-averse wife picked it up, recorded some video in a darkly lit room, and the video looks great. She is happy and so am I. The quality drops at a certain darkness but overall, the quality of the video is great and the camcorder is easy to use. If you are anything other than a professional videographer, this is the camcorder for you.
Does what promised July 12, 2010
Roberta Silverstein (Novato, CA, US)
The Canon VixiaHV40 is an excellent high performance HD camcorder.
While not the easiest to use at first, it provides a quality typically found in higher end cameras. According to a friend of mine who is a cameraman, this is the same camera used by Reality Shows.
The shipper was great and very timely. Delivered on time and in great condition for a used camera.
The miniSD was a challenge to find in brick/mortar stores. Go online for both the SD Card and the DVDtapes.
Excellent camera for streaming June 22, 2010

Bought this to stream a live event through a macbook. Worked great! Picture was clear even in a dark, candlelit church. Had trouble streaming both video and audio through the firewire port, but otherwise the audio worked well in regular filming.
Great portable video camera May 30, 2010

Great video quality, 1080i resolution, still camera not very good but does the job if you have good lighting. Only 3 mega pixel camera. All in all a very good afordable video camera(Canon Vixia HV40) Five Stars.
 Disappointed that I cannot play old PAL movies April 17, 2010

In 2007 I bought an HV20 that is not any more in my posession. I bought the HV40 mainly because I thought that I could view with it also my old tapes recorded in HDTV with the HV20. Unfortunately I had to recognize that this does not work as the HV20 was in PAL format whereas the HV40 is rcording in NTSC. Big disappointment and had I known this before I had gone right away for a tapeless camera type. One assumes that in HDTV the difference between PAL and NTSC does not any more play a role. Producer and Amazon should on their pages warn the consumer that it does so and should also make it clear by offering both versions!
