Review: I've had this Sony DCR-HC40ES digital camcorder for about 3 months now. The picture quality, though only on mega pixel, is good enough for filming random things like skate footage and everyday stuff. It has all the features you'd expect of a digital camcorder, and these are easily accessible from the main menu on the touchscreen. However, here is my niggle. I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this before, but the touchscreen more often than not doesn't respond to... well, your touch. It's annoying, especially when it's the only way to access a lot of the features. This is the main reason for it losing the fifth star. Some people complain that the microphone is in a stupid place, and while I agree with them - it's right under your hand when you're holding it - it still picks up sound as well as you;d expect, so this isn't really a problem. Overall, this is a brilliant camcorder for whipping out and quick use, but the touchscreen is an irritation as it rarely works perfectly. The fact that nobody else has mentioned it suggests that it's a fault in my Sony DCR-HC40ES digital camcorder, but I'll warn you about it anyway. |
