Not as good as advertised (Rating: 2.00)
Review : I evaluated a number of camcorders PC105, DRV38 and DRV22 when I came acroos the HC40 at the store. I fell in love with the look, the feel, and the great small size. It is not a vertical design, and it fits very nicely in your hand. I purchased it and brought it home.

The first thing my wife and I noticed when we powered it up was how washed out the screen looked. The salesperson said it would look that way on the screen but that the colors would look perfect after downloading the video to my computer. That was not the case - it was just as washed out on my computer. In fact, the video looked worse than the 30sec clips I can take with my Canon S230 digital camera. I went back to the store and returned the camcorder.

I was still intrigued and wondered if I had just gotten a lemon. So I went to a different store, where the saleperson said a number of customers had mentioned how washed out the screens look (especially reds & yellows - flesh tones look out of wack). I asked him to arrange the HC40 and the TRV33 side by side since I discovered that the TRV33 was also small, but not as small as the HC40 - we were astonished (along with other customers watching our impromptu demo) at how poor the HC40 screen looked. The TRV33 blew away the HC40 and it wasn't close by any means. It had much richer colors and captured the colors much more accurately than the HC40.

If you're seriously considering this camcorder, I highly suggest that you put it side-by-side with another Sony not in the HC series and see what you think of the image - I, along with everyone at the store who watched our demo, obviously give this camcorder very, very poor marks for the image.

I gave this camcorder 2 stars b/c the rest of the camcorder seems great - great asthetics, strong ergonomics, nice features like a built-in lens cap - but the poor image defeats to purpose of all the great features especially at this price.

Pero debes comprar los accesorios $$$ (Rating: 4.00)
Review : Yo compré la HC40 muy entusiasmado por las especificaciones. Y son ciertas!!! El NigthShot tiene un muy buen desempeño, aunque el Nigth Shot Plus no. La calidad de la filmación en ambientes muy bien iluminados es alta. Pero tiene problemas con falta de luz. Aquí es que se tiene que comprar un accesorio de iluminación... uno bueno es caro!!! La batería, aún cuando es liviana es poco conveniente para acontencimientos de una buena duración. Pero para salidas casuales donde sólo filmarás pequeños tiempos funciona bien. Yo compré la batería FM-90 porque necesitaba mayor duración.
Definitivamente se tiene que comprar un Memory Stick decente. El que trae realmente es pobre.

Se tiene que contar con un puerto IEEE-1394 si se desea obtener videos en DVD de muy buena calidad, casi igual al que se puede ver en el playback en la cámara. Eso quiere decir que se tendrá que comprar una tarjeta FireWire 1394 y el cable 1394 (i.Link) porque con USB la calidad del video es realmente decepcionante. Se pierde toda la inversión en esta gran cámara si se guardan los videos utilzando el cable USB.

El software es desastrozo. Sólo te permite guardar el video con música. Yo recomiendo comprar software de otro fabricante que no te amarre a comprar sus librerías y que te permita guardar el sonido de lo filmado.

Se debe utilizar mucho el balance de blancos para interiores. Ayuda mucho a la definición de colores.

Por otro lado la correa parece débil y no cuenta con la mejor posición posible. Es difícil coger la cámara con una sola mano.
Pero el tamaño es bueno, la puedo llevar traquilamente en mi casaca.

En conclusión: con muy buena luz la calidad de filmación es asombrosa y utilizando i.Link para pasar los videos a una pc y luego a DVD, se conserva la calidad original del video.
No recomiendo para nada el uso del cable USB para guardar el video.
Lamentablemente al comprar esta cámara hay que comprar accesorios como mínimo: tarjeta de memoria, luz, batería y cable i.link .

Too Much Motor Noise (Rating: 2.00)
Review : I totally agree with the reviewer from Harrisburg,Pa(June 24). The SonyDCRHC40 that I purchased from Best Buy had too much motor noise for my liking. Of course, the motor noise occurs when a tape is in the camcorder and is recording or playing. It was my luck that the camcorders at Best Buy were locked where the tape goes in for security reasons and when I turned on each of the Sony camcorders without a tape in them, there was no noise. So I bought the SonyDCRHC40. When I began taping a dance recital the noise was terrible. I was charged a restocking fee to return that camcorder and then told that ALL camcorders make the motor noise. Well, I am now trying a tape in each camcorder I look at and there are camcorders that do not make the noise that came out of the Sony. So, buyers beware. Try the camcorder with a tape in it before you make the purchase.
