LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2006-Whether capturing memorable honeymoon moments or baby's first small, staggering steps, Canon's new DC40 DVD camcorder helps make recording precious memories simple, fun and convenient. With its super slim design and 10x op

Review Verdict: The camcorder includes Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV image processor. Acting as the camcorder's "brain" the DIGIC DV image processor recognizes when people are shooting video or still photos. It then processes the color information in the correct color space

Comments:
The Canon DC40 is the new top-of-the-line model in the company's DVD line. Its specs are impressive andndash; a 1/2.8 inch CCD, a relatively large lens, and just as many manual controls as the Optura line. But major differences between MiniDV and DVD camc

Comments:
Finally, a camcorder that's compact, attractive, and easy to use—but the picture is a bit fuzzy.

Review Verdict: By the time I got my hot little hands on the Canon DC40 I was ready for my adventure through camcorder-land to be over. Without kids running around, I have few must-record events in my life. After all, I can only have so much footage of my husband sleepin

Hands-On Review: Canon DC40 DVD Camcorder

Comments:
Canon's top-of-the-line DVD cam delivers great results in full-auto mode. But true to its photographic heritage, it offers the control functions you expect on a serious digital still camera. And with a 4.2-megapixel sensor, the DC40 can take high-quality

Comments:
As with the Canon DC10 reviewed last year, the DC40 is ergonomically very good. The circular DVD imposes a naturally comfortable shape to the camera and most of the controls fall easily beneath your thumb or fingers. It's wise to ensure the hand grip stra
