Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Sticking with MiniDV Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Does what promised Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent camera for streaming Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Great portable video camera Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointed that I cannot play old PAL movies Comment: 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! More Reviews
