Can not download to laptop
Pretty good camera, easy to use, CAN'T download to laptop without firewire. Computer does not have firewire input. Now I have to pay to put cassett video on to a DVD. Should have been told this when purchased. Would like to trade this in for one I can transfer to my laptop

Great buy
I heard that the camera is hard to connect to a TV and hard to get into a computer. That's the way I felt about every camcorder I've gotten over the years. It was my own fault because I didn't know what to do in the computer. I didn't know that in editing programs that you need to go into settings and tell what kind of video codecs you want such as AVI, MPEG and the like. The editing program that comes with computers are not all that great for what I do, so I spent a little on a better one.

Excellent still and video picture quality.
I bought a new cassette camera because my old unit died.
I had years of old cassettes and no way to save or view them.. To my surprise the HV40 was much more the than a cassette recorder. The HD video and still shots are great.
The HDMI out is easy to use and connect to our HD TV. The cameras remote allows me easily review old and new video cassetts and stills. I've used the camera for 2 yrs, it takes beautiful pictures and worked without any problems

Great Camcorder
Getting used to this product. Every time I use it I learn more about how it works and what I missed before.
