Is the Everio GZ-HD40 worth the money?

The menu design is not really in order, which doesn’t make it easy for beginners. Some of the controls are pretty small. Some people have commented on the hand strap, saying it isn’t comfortable. But, the camcorder is small enough to just carry around easily.

It does have the awesome 120GB hard drive. It has great color in good light.

A lot of complaints I read were about unattached accessory shoe cover. The little piece of plastic just comes off of the camcorder, which makes it easy to lose, or for kids and pets to pick up.

Another thing that was missing was that the camcorder doesn’t have optical image stabilization, which most people are getting used to with their cameras and camcorders now.

The camera isn’t bad overall but you might be able to find a cheaper camcorder that is just as good if not better.
