From the Manufacturer
The DCR-HC40 MiniDV Handycam gives you all the features you’d expect from a Sony camcorder in an ultra-compact design that’s as beautiful as the images it captures. It features a 1.0 Megapixel Advanced HAD imaging chip and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens which combine to capture video with incredible detail and clarity, making every video picture perfect. It also includes a huge 2.5" hybrid SwivelScreen touch panel LCD display with a 3D menu system, Super NightShot Plus infrared recording, USB streaming, and digital still image capturing on MemoryStick DUO media. Only Sony could pack so many features in a camcorder so small.


The MiniDV Format offers more precise image detail and color accuracy than previously possible with analog camcorders. The superior quality of digital video results from:

Higher Resolution -- up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution, on select models for sharper picture detail.
Component Color Sampling -- preserves three times more color information than analog VHS and S-VHS video, for brighter and truer colors.
Time Base Correction -- stabilizes the picture, eliminating video jitters.
Error Correction -- fills in missing video data, providing seamless, professional-looking video.
