The light level is very important for the SX-40. If you experiment with the SX-40 enough it produces good quality for its price range. I found the Sony HDR-CX-100 to be a far better camera for about the same $, again due to what Sony has put into it. Whaleshrimp
Robobobo771, The quality of the video is straight out of the camera with no enhancements. I shot all my Sony demo videos while healing up from a knee operation at home. That means I shot lots and lots of clips with each camera and choose the best ones for the videos. I experimented with many light levels and turned off most of the software like the stabilizer that run in the camera and used a tripod all the time.
phwmovies is correct. I am testing it now and it is way better do to what is inside it. I recently posted HD Banana Bees 1 and HD Mosquito drinking nectar and Busy Bees 4 not in HD but also from a new Sony HDR-CX100. I have the PAL model. Enjoy whaleshrimp
I need to know if this Camera can record direct from the TV. I plugged the AV cables into the output and nothing showed up on the cameras LCD screen. Do i need different cables? Can this camera even record FROM the TV to the Camcorder? And if it can is there a setting i have to change on the camera, because no setting comes comes up saying its plugged into a TV. :(
Mr. KLICKYOLI, I have no idea? I have a handful of 4 gig cards and almost no computer skills. whaleshrimp

how long can this record continuously? Will it stop at the 4GB limit or will it continue until a 16GB card is depleted?

Yes the Sony Memory Sticks go directly both my computers. If not adapters are cheap available to fit most any computer slot. whaleshrimp

I bought the DCR SR-47 , like 2 months ago.
Best for making DVDs.
I also bought a battery that gives literary 10 hours of recording time.
Couple that with 60 GB hard drive and away you go.

Hey man..really appreciate U taking the time to post...I'm seriously considering getting this camcorder.
Question: On average how long does the battery last?
How sensitive is the touch screen...the touch screen getting damaged worries me a bit.
I wanna take this thing to Puerto Rico in early June & my last JVC camcorder (MiniDV) was a HUGE lemon!
