Comments about Canon Canon VIXIA HV40 Black High Definition Camcorder:

This is the best high defenition consumer grade comcorder on the market. If you have HDTV equipment this is the camera for you. In addition, it is compatible with imovie, which is the movie editor that comes free with all mac computers. Tape storage is better than the hard disk or solid state storage used on many other models. Tape storage is unlimited and the compression software is different and more effective than that used by all other storage media with fewer drop outs and more compatability with editing software. Low light performance is acceptable, steady cam works and auto focus works well under all but the most extreme circumstances. Color and tape speed options allow users to tweek video to the max while new users can film great video right out of the box.
