Digital camera reviews of Panasonic SDR-H40 40GB Hard Drive Camcorder with 42x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Great Camera - Low Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this camera. We had a mini-dv camcorder before
and it was very difficult to transfer video to my computer. This
camcorder is a snap - just connect and download.
Don't try to use the included editing software. Ulead VideoStudio 11
and Serif MoviePlus X3 work great. Easy to learn - inexpensive.
The battery recharges in about an hour and a half, and takes
about an hour of video on a charge. Easy.
The video stabilization is marvelous. No shake. Smooth zoom.
I was put-off by the several negative reviews, but purchased
anyway. Don't believe the nay-sayers. This is a great camera.
The 40 gig hard drive will take about 9 hours of video at the
best setting. That's enough to bore the pants off all of
your family and friends. Wide screen and crisp on our 37"
flat screen LCD-TV.
It's a winner in my book.

Summary of Panasonic SDR-H40 40GB Hard Drive Camcorder with 42x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
The SDR-H40's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic close-ups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) suppresses the effects of handshake as you shoot. The system uses gyro sensors to detect handshake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. The SDR-H40's 40GB internal hard disk drive lets you record continuously for up to 36 hours in LP mode without changing a disc, tape or other recording media. Panasonic's Anti-Shock Shield helps protect recorded video data from damage due to jolts and impact. The Drop Detect function senses if the camera is falling and moves the head away from the hard disk. You can transfer the motion-image data from the SD card or the camcorder's hard drive right to your PC using your USB port. With the included VideoCam Suite 1.0 software, you can easily put scenes in a different order and delete the ones you don't want.
