It's A Winner
This is a brilliant camera. The Zeiss lens and relatively large CCD pick up colours and details very well indeed. The True Widescreen Mode enabled me to produce sensational, full-quality 16:9 movies. It is so easy to use and connects into popular editing software like Pinnacle 9 (which by the way... Read full review »
Sony DCR-HC40 Handycam Mini DV Digital Camcorder
After having a S-VHS camera, I'm very pleased with the results of this camera. I chose it due to being competitively priced against other models with equivalent features.
Connecting through the firewire port and using Pinnacle's Studio 9+ to burn to DVD, the results are excellent, colour...

Sony DCR-HC40 Mini DV Digital Camcorder
I bought this camera as a new parent, hoping to preserve some of those precious early moments. I was excited that a megapixel still with high-quality optics would print well at up to 5x7, so I wouldn't generally need to also carry a camera. I expected that with the USB and Firewire ports I would be... Read full review »

With the great disappointment I gave up with my attempts to tape the rainbow with DCR-HC40 because nothing appeared neither on the LCD display nor even in the viewfinder. I tried to do the same shot with my old Sony camcorder (HI8) manufactured over 6 years ago and got an excellent result. Read full review »

There is a documented problem with some of these camcorders in that they discharge the batteries overnight, even when attached to the AC converter. (See camcorderinfo.com).
Sony denies this problem exists, and will not repair it for free, once the 90 day warranty expires. (Unfortunately,...

1. Battery drains quickly
2. Charging problems

Buyer Beware
I rec'd this camcorder as a gift for Xmas '04. It was non-functional by May '05, soon after the 90 day warranty expired. We were recording my older daughter's graduation when video gave out and only recorded sound. The camcorder plays back but doesn't record video anymore. What's the point.

Sony Handycam DCR-HC30 (Mini DV)
Also, has charging problems which didn't start until one month after the 6month warranty. Contacted Sony telephonically & they were very abrupt & what I would call Rude. I use to think highly of Sony, but that's changing quickly. Read another review that claimed Sony said they had a bad batch of... Read full review »

Sony Handycam DCR-HC40
This camcorder has a defect which makes this model useless.
1) Battery drains quickly
2) The power light doesnt go on on battery charging.
Just go on google.com and type : " HC40 battery drain" and you will see how many people have this problem.
I'm an owner of this...
