Reviews for Panasonic AG-HMC40 HD Camcorder

The AG-HMC40: a fantastic prosumer camera

Strengths: A spectacular HD picture as well as many pro settings and ease of use.

Weakness: The only weakness I can see would be having to use the LCD monitor for many menu settings.

I can easily say that this is without a doubt the most spectacular camera that I have ever owned. I own three other HD camcorders but none of them comes close to the quality of picture of the AG-HMC40. The best thing about it would be the fact that it is an affordable camera with pro features. Yes, you can get a camera that will produce a better quality HD picture, but you'll have to spend thousands more, and the picture you'll get will only be slightly better in my opinion. I would easily reccomend this camera to anyone who wants an affordable prosumer HD camcorder.
