i love this camcorder and i have had no mechanical problems with it whatsoever, the only problem with it and the reason i gave it four stars is because of the wind noise.
from www.amazon.com
you get no error message and it simply shuts the window.
from www.amazon.com
two gripes though....number one, it can take fifteen minutes to finalize the disk before you can drop it into a dvd plaver.....number two, it really needs a wind filter because you practically lose
from www.amazon.com
as i have not had enough experience with it yet (one week) i will write a follow-up at a later date, but the story so far is " a great cam with a lot of features and crystal clear playback, wind
from www.amazon.com
i even tired one, the panasonic m50 but returned it to the store after few days because of awful performance, bad colors, resolution, dark picture in the middle of a sunny day.

i needed a relatively inexpensive, compact, digital camcorder.
from www.amazon.com
i love it's compact size in its very affordable package.
from shopping.yahoo.com
the price of those reflects the still photo option, but the pixels are so small on both (.33 and 1 ) respectively, you can only e-mail and don't even bother wasting your ink on prints.

The user who complained about color must have a faulty unit, I'd recommend he contact Sony since both indoor and outdoor colors on my HC40 are very good indeed.
from shopping.yahoo.com
I was able to suck down the clips I want into destination software (iMovieDV Mac and Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 on Windows) Both downloaded just fine.
from shopping.yahoo.com
It takes great video shots in the daylight time.
from wsmunch, www.shopping.com
The Bottom Line: If Sony decides to price their camcorders better, then it would be a much better value.

My neigbor borrowed it on a trip to Hawaii and apologized over and over as they had left it on a patio and it was exposed to about 30 minutes of light rain.
from www.amazon.com
Even at its original retail price, Sony has packed so much technology into that sleek design that it's truly an amazing gadget.

bought this camcorder about a week ago: the picture quality is great outdoors, the zoom is awesome however, its not a great camcorder if you take many videos inside.

Before you pull your hair out, be sure to set usb streaming to 'on' so you can transfer videos to an editor such as windows movie maker.
