Poor image quality, same as digicams. No usable software included. Connection to pc is hit and miss. Sound is no good, lots of wind noise and sounds very compressed.

You CAN use this camera with a Mac. I'm sitting here with it plugged into a current model '08 iMac and iMovie 08 is importing and editing it just fine. Works great with Apples free iLife software.

Pros: Size, price

Cons: HDD quality still isn't as good as minidv

Do not think of purchasing this camera if you use a MAC as there is absolutely no software to use with this Panasonic SDR-H40 camera.
