arthurhu's Full Review: Sony DCR-SR40E Mini DV Camcorder
I'd agree with dmezzer. No pro anything.
MPEG2 format is not read by Microsoft movie maker
No hard buttons for anything, even volume or focus, all buttons are on touch screen
Have not used burn to dvd because it's easier to just feed it into a DVD recorder that I also have.
Remote and jack to work with sony tripod is next model up
No headphone jack, you'll have to jury rig one with adapters and a/v cord.
No firewire output, but usb2 file copy is faster.
Friend remarks video looks awful compared to pro cam, but non-pros seem to think it looks ok, notice some tears and jitters if you pan at moderate speeds.
Got mine with sony card points.
Nice to be able to go to date to find or erase shots.
