PANASONIC SDR-H40- DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE ! I bought one of these cameras to take on a family holiday.After reading various online reviews, i purchased one and wished i hadn't wasted my time and money.I wanted a more modern camcorder than my trusty Sony DCR-TRV-14 mini dv,which was looking a bit old.

After 3 days of my holiday in Egypt,i discovered that this camera wasn't as good as my old Sony.The lack of a viewfinder was a problem while filming in bright sunlight,and the lcd ...  Read the complete review
