The JVC GZ-HD40 is a more than a simple update in the Everio line of hard disk drive (HDD) camcorders. You wouldn't know it from a casual glance, but a lot of changes have occurred under the hood. For the first time, JVC has switched from CCD chips to a single CMOS. Let us assure, this is huge and beneficial change for performance, and low light performance in particular. That's not the only first. The GZ-HD40, along with the near identical GZ-HD30 ($999 MSRP with a smaller hard drive), record in both MPEG-2 TS and AVCHD compressions. While it certainly doesn't simplify operation for the average consumer, it opens up a whole new world of compatibility with editing systems. It also assures the widely-recognized assumption that AVCHD is the new standard for consumer formats, with JVC joining Sony, Panasonic, and Canon.
Is the Everio GZ-HD40 worth the money?
The menu design is not really in order, which doesn’t make it easy for beginners. Some of the controls are pretty small. Some people have commented on the hand strap, saying it isn’t comfortable. But, the camcorder is small enough to just carry around easily.
It does have the awesome 120GB hard drive. It has great color in good light.
The camera isn't bad overall but you might be able to find a cheaper camcorder that is just as good if not better.
The JVC GZ-HD30 and GZ-HD40 record in both the AVCHD and MPEG-2 TS compressions.
