Product Description
The SDR-H40's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in, suppressing the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. This all happens a remarkable 4,000 times per second. And because the system is optical, no image quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S., the images you capture look incredibly clear, sharp and blur-free even at high zoom levels.The SDR-H40's 40GB internal hard disk drive lets you record continuously for up to 36 hours (in LP mode) without changing a disc, tape or other recording media.Panasonic's Anti-Shock Shield helps protect recorded video data from damage due to jolts and impact. The Drop Detect function senses if the camera is falling and moves the head away from the hard disk. The Floating Structure protects the hard disk should the camera fall or be dropped. And the Buffer Memory automatically backs up data while the camera is falling.This hard disk drive camcorder has a USB Host function, which lets you connect directly to a DVD burner (sold seperately) via a USB cable. You can then copy recordings from the hard disk to a DVD disc by simply pressing a button.You can transfer the motion-image data from the SD card or the camcorder's hard drive right to your PC using your PC's USB port.

    Love the size, ease of use and overall capabilities of the camera. The only thing I do not like is the difficulty involved when I burn the movie to a dvd. Setting up to the computer is easy but trying to edit and use the software is kind of a jumbled mess.

    I am a loyal customer of Panasonic products and when considering a camcorder decided on the SDR-H40 hard drive model. The camera itself is a jewel and performs very well, that's the good news. Now for the reservations, I have owned the camera now for about a month and have yet to be able to get any data OUT of the camera's hard drive and into a PC for editing. Have thrown alot of extra money at the issue that stands unresolved as we speak. Panasonic tech told me that my PC operating system (XP Media Center Edition 2005 on a Compaq PC) was not compatible with the VideoCam Suite 1.0 that comes with the camera. So decided to purchase a refurb PC with Windows XP Professional OS (recommended) and dedicate it entirely to my photography hobby. Loaded the VideoCam software and STILL the camera is not recognized! Neither Corel VideoStudio Pro X2, Pinnacle Studio Plus 9.3, or the Windows Movie Maker will recognize the camera either! Am awaiting help in resolving the issue from Panasonic and other software techs as well as my local PC tech at the moment. The movies on the camera's hard drive played directly on my HDTV from the camera are wonderful. The 5.1 surround sound and 16:9 aspect ratio video through the Home Theatre system are great. Will get the issue of getting the data OUT of the camera resolved eventually I'm sure, but at the moment am totally frustrated and at a dead end. The main trouble with tech support of any product is that the blame for the problem is always the other guy's fault.
