@dudeproductions100 I have other videos about AVCHD editing on a PC. But the short answer to your question is: if your PC is running the new i7 processor, editing AVCHD is fairly easy. I run an i7 PC and edit with Premiere Pro CS5 on a 64-bit machine. Editing AVCHD is no problem.
The HMC150 is a great camera. No question about it. With a proper white balance setting the image is awesome. I've videotaped theater mostly with this camera.
I had the camera on loan as a demo. Typically I don't use the picture feature on video cameras. Sometimes I'll do a scree capture using Premiere Pro after the fact for HD quality images. Sorry I can't answer your question.
@rainerfilm Rolling shutter is a real effect based on how the CMOS sensors capture the frame. CCD sensors work differently and don't produce this effect. There might be more info out there on rolling shutter issues. I don't really know much about it except that fast panning will tilt vertical lines.
@jarredjarred12 I only had the camera a few days to review it. I believe the rocker arm works fastest for zooming. The ring zoom feature (toggle between zoom and focus with a push of a button) is a server type, not geared directly to the zoom, so I imaging zooming isn't that fast. You could ask your question at DVXUSER where Panasonic cameras are discussed more in depth.
@ZackRossFilms I had the HMC40 for review only. It produced good color. I wouldn't worry about issues around fast movement. It will do a good job. Most video cameras today use CMOS sensors and you typically only notice the rolling shutter effect when doing whip pans (from left to right, quickly), for example. Another nice choice is the Panasonic TM700. Much smaller, cheaper but great video. Using a fisheye on the HMC40 would probably require removing the lens shade. But shouldn't be an issue.
Thank you for this video. After doing some research, I've decided that I think this is the camera I want to go with. The only problem is that I've read that this camera is terrible in low light situations, which is bad considering that this camera will primarily be used at night. Would you recommend this camera if I will mainly be using it to film at night? If not could you recommend another camera around this price, thank you.
@jazzcat522 I believe I used auto white balance and auto iris. Don't actually remember. I had the camera on loan for a week. But one thing I know, best results are achieved when not in full sunlight at noontime. Most cameras respond best to even lighting situations, even overcast days. Harsh light will mess things up. Try fixing your aperture/iris setting and shoot a tad dark. Avoid over exposures. It's taken me years to avoid pitfalls in videotaping. Indoor shooting, set manual white balance.
They have a little camcorder called Panasonic HX-WA2 HD. It has some water resistance. I would recommend GoPro's Hero HD camera for sports, underwater, ect. If you need to waterproof a larger Panasonic camera, like the HMC40, you'll need to spend around $1500 for something like the Equinox HD8. There may be other solutions, but not sure.
@Hygoog The HMC40 has a bigger body and is easier to hold steady. But if price is an issue, the TM700 (newer model is the TM900) is the way to go. The real issue is getting good sound. Neither of these cameras have professional XLR microphone imputs so you'll need to figure out a way to get good sound. For extra money, the HMC40 has an XLR adapter you can add. I use the HMC150, the bigger brother of the HMC40. I love that camera.
I have the TM700 which is similar to your new X900m, but a couple years old now. It shoots great video, lightweight and easy to carry. I use my TM700 as my "wide shot" when working with my larger AG-AC160, which I use for closeups. Your X900m should give you many years of quality video.
@bestamerica Unfortunately, I have to deal with tape in school and the capturing process is so annoying and long that most capture one day and come back another to actually edit. To directly answer your concern, every time you stop the camera and begin recording, a new file is created on the SD card. Therefore, you won't have to do anything again and you won't have to worry about timecode breaks and recording over footage by mistake.
@skater4life1000 If you mean the Sony Handycam HDR-FX7, that's a tape-based HDV camera. It uses firewire to connect to your computer. You play the tape back into your computer to edit. Sony is a good camera and HDV is easy to edit, if you have a firewire connector in your computer. Not sure what to recommend. the HMC40 records to AVCHD, harder to edit, but no tape needed. I don't make recommendations typically. My favorite camera is the HMC150, the HMC40's big brother. But the Sony is good.
@bestamerica Pause isn't needed for SD because the footage is data and can be manipulated without capturing. You can put up footage from a SD card in your preview window inside your editing program. You can then go through any thing on that SD card stopping when ever you want and doing anything you want. SD cards you reduce editing time and you have more options. Also every time you stop the camera a new file is created making it easier to distinguish between scenes in lieu of playing a tape
HELP! HELP! HELP! Please read! I need to know what kind of charger is used for this because Idk where it goes or what the charger looks like... I really need to know so please help! Thank you
@dteubner okay, thanks for replying, once again great video. Also how can you afford all these cameras, you do a lot of reviews and I was just curious to whether you borrow the cameras or buy them?
@ZackRossFilms I think that most fish eye lenses don't use a lens shade. You'll get what is called a lens flare when pointed toward the sun and certain angles near the sun. But lens flares can look cool. If it's a problem, you could fashion your own lens shade with some cardboard perhaps. Good luck.
@dteubner i was actually interested in the hmc40(idk if that's what you ment) lol thanks man, i guess my 2000 dollar question is should i go with this camer because it's got 24p and the sony doesn't? thanks...
@WhiteLightLive I had that camera on loan for review. I don't have it any more. But I believe it does stamp onto the video itself. You can ask your question at DVXUSER website. They have lots of folks using Panasonic gear and their forum area might help you.
@LiITheo the DVX100 has been for many years the favorite of beginning film makers. This is a tape-based camera running in standard definition. The HMC40 is HD using AVCHD. The DVX100 will have more professional features, as far as controlling aperture, audio, etc. You'll have to decide if you want to use tape or SDHC cards. Tapes are on the way out. Better ask your question at DVXUser, an online forum of professionals.
@dteubner Okay thanks, and sorry one last question - I would like to get this camera to film skating, can you get different handles to attach to the camera or is there just the one, just the handle in this video seems a bit short.
The two Sony cameras you mentioned record to DV tape in the HDV format. I would say that the newer Panasonics, recording in AVCHD (h.264) are better quality. I haven't used the Sony cameras, but either Panasonics would be a good choice. I think the HMC150 in a more pro choice. It all depends on your budget.
Thanks so much for the reply! Really gave me alot to think about. I don't have an i7 but if I do upgrade to one it would be in the future after I save more. If im Going that far might as well take another step from the hmc40. I was looking in to The sony ax2000 what do You think about this camera? Which would you prefer the ax2000 or hmc150?
I don't think so. Although the Canon XH-A1 and many of the Sony cameras still offer the HDV format (using miniDV), most manufactures have gone tapeless, using the AVCHD standard, which looks sharper than the older HDV format. The Panasonic AG-HMC40 uses SD cards and records in AVCHD like most cameras today. If you have an old, slow computer, the HDV format is easier to edit than AVCHD, so that might be one case where a miniDV camera is a good choice. But I prefer the tapeless workflow.
Really great page!! I'm looking to upgrade to a higher level camera. I'm filming for my YOuTube page (i'm a drummer) and filming of school concerts. Can you suggest a cam?
I have two of these camera and they are amazing....however the XLR device you can buy causes a bit of noise in and of itself. Does the HMC150 have that problem with the ports directly in the camera?
I've read that it has issues. I use Powerdirector (not vegas or final cut) Will this camera be compatible with my program? How does this compare with the canon xf100?
@BBrtqB Nope. Class 4 will work, or class 6. You'll need to check if this camera will accept the new class 10. But class 4 works. I use class 6 usually.
I could not find your eMail. I will be shooting mostly from a tripod. I will be doing videos for business promotions on social media and websites. And filming to create products for resale. Products include DVD sets, Audio sets for teaching material. This is all for my personal business. I have NO clue what to choose in HD camcorders. I am currently looking at a canon vixia HF G 20 for $600 and the Panasonic professional AG HMC40 AVCHD for $650. I need to begin with some simplicity without jumping on a $1500 purchase. I want to get STARTED. I have researched and read many 2014-15 reviews on top 10 camcorders from low-mid-high range. Can you give me some advice?
I would like to know how long is this camcorder without the Lens hood and without counting the view finder part, I know it's around 11.9" if i count the view finder and the lens hood. (according to B&H Photo & Video) -Thank you
i'm looking to purchase this camera or the sony fx7, i film a lot of fast paced sports, the camera's footage is also going to be edited with a imac 27". do you think i'd be better off with the fx7 even though it doesn't film in 24p? thanks man
hi would you recomend upgrading from a fx7 to the hmc40? also do you know what setting are the best for the hmc40 in adobe premiere pro cs4? please reply. I really like the going tapeless idea.
@ashare06 Unfortunately, I only had this camera for a few days to do a review. You might search for the PDF manual online. That'll give you all the facts.
@bestamerica Once you shoot on tape you have to capture it to your PC to begin editing. The editing program plays back the footage and captures it. The way most capture from tape is this way; they go through the tape and log inpoints and outpoints. Once they have every clip they want they hit capture then go grab some coffee or something until its done. With SD cards you pop in the card set a inpoint and outpoint and it its instantly added to your project reducing editing time.
@teheverythingshow My feeling is that the Panasonic TM700, which costs less, does about the same as this one. If you need more controls beyond the TM700, go all the way up to the HMC150 by Panasonic. But I feel the HMC40 is too expensive for the little it does. Either the TM700 or HMC150 are my choices.
I see on Amazon you can get a used AG-HMC40 for about 1500, what would you recommend for a camera with similar features but maybe around 1000 or less? Entry-level videography gear? I've been doing some freelance work and would like to get my own equipment.
Hello, Thanks for the review! Just curious, if you plug in a HDMI monitor will you still be able to monitor on the camera as well (basically will the attached LCD still be on and functional at the same time)? Thanks!
I just ordered my camera last night, but was wondering a few things. Can the focus/iris ring also be set to a zoom ring? and are the user buttons completely customizable, or are there limitations? thanks
@avo7778 um, it's a camera, not a car or a house. lol. i don't think you can lease a camera like that. best to just save up for it or get it as a gift from someone. i recently got it as a christmas gift.
Hello. Great review! I was wondering, does this camera have fully manually settings (aperture, shutter speed etc.) or is the only thing you can setup manually the shutter speed? Thanks!
@tijuanapkfr well yeah you can go up to cameras worth $7000, but I film skating and this camera seems to be a good all round camera that isn't TOO pricey. (also remember that once you get the money the cameras price will be lower)
Hi, I'm a beginner at this. I was wandering which camera would be best for me: Panasonic HDC-TM700K or AG-HMC40. I'll be using it to make short films. Help would be appreciative =)
I just ordered this camera tonight. I also ordered the rode video mic...I'm choosing to go without the XLR adapter and just plug the mic into the mic port. Will that work?

@TheModernDayPirate You can set the camera to Auto Focus and use the manual focus ring to control the zooming.
@l0uischarles Yes. It's called Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).
@vlagamemedia1 Yes. The 32gb sdhc cards will each give you about 3 hours of recording time at the highest quality.
I had the camera on loan as a demo. Typically I don't use the picture feature on video cameras. Sometimes I'll do a scree capture using Premiere Pro after the fact for HD quality images. Sorry I can't answer your question.

Thanks for doing these reviews, power to the consumers!
Very informative, I have a HMC-150 and a HVX200A and was thinking of purchasing one of these to keep as a b cam. Thanks for posting!

Hi. Wonderful video. Can I ask you a question? How I have to do for starting record od the shot? What botton I have to push?
Hey awesome video, just wondering if this camera has any built in image stabilization? Cheers (;
@dteubner
Okay thanks, and sorry one last question - I would like to get this camera to film skating, can you get different handles to attach to the camera or is there just the one, just the handle in this video seems a bit short.
Oh alright cool I'll look into it. Is there like a specific reason you would choose the hmc150 over the ax2000? Idk Im more of a Sony fan.

Going that far might as well take another step from the hmc40. I was looking in to
The sony ax2000 what do
You think about this camera? Which would you prefer the ax2000 or hmc150?
How are the pictures from the camera?...and also, can you record video and take pictures simultaneously?...
I don't think so. Although the Canon XH-A1 and many of the Sony cameras still offer the HDV format (using miniDV), most manufactures have gone tapeless, using the AVCHD standard, which looks sharper than the older HDV format.

@tijuanapkfr
new there are usually around 1700 - 2200 dollars
@dteubner thankyou very much and also is there a certian type of memory card that needs to be used ?
Thanks again for all of your help! I'll check it out. Scary Harry
@907AK75 Good thinking. The HDV is even easier to edit than AVCHD. And looks about the same in quality. Go for it.
@robblac That may be true. New cameras don't always improve on things.
What type of light source would you recommend for this camcorder?
No, the HMC150 does well with the XLR connectors.
nice vid. I have two PNY 32gb class 10 sdhc cards, would they be sufficient for this camara? Please reply soon. Thank you in advance.
What's funny is one of the panasonic AG-HMC40 cameras has a broken headphone jack stuck inside, what could I do to remove it?
Really great page!! I'm looking to upgrade to a higher level camera. I'm filming for my YOuTube page (i'm a drummer) and filming of school concerts. Can you suggest a cam?
I have two of these camera and they are amazing....however the XLR device you can buy causes a bit of noise in and of itself.
Does the HMC150 have that problem with the ports directly in the camera?
I'd recommend the Panasonic HMC150. Best camera in that price range, in my honest opinion.
I don't care how long it takes but I'm buying thus camera!!!
I've read that it has issues. I use Powerdirector (not vegas or final cut) Will this camera be compatible with my program?
How does this compare with the canon xf100?
hi there one question will you use this hmc40 to shoot weddings or i should go for the hmc 150 ???? Please help
@HPPFilms It isn't terrible. You avoid quick pans and you'll be fine.
Does this camera only record AVCHD or can I record the footage in MP4 mode??
@BBrtqB Nope. Class 4 will work, or class 6. You'll need to check if this camera will accept the new class 10. But class 4 works. I use class 6 usually.

Can you use the ring to zoom in and out really fast?
Does it have manual zoom
you can use the ring for zoom, correct?
@dteubner thank you, and would the lens shade coming off affect my videos??
The camera has fully manual settings as an option.

it turns off because the fan no longer worked,
se me apaga porque ya no funciono el abanico
quick question, cam you change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 using in camera settings?
What is the quality of the still picture
Hi. What was the frame rate of the test footage? thanks.
@PerthSkate Yes, it does.
Hello,
Thanks for the review! Just curious, if you plug in a HDMI monitor will you still be able to monitor on the camera as well (basically will the attached LCD still be on and functional at the same time)? Thanks!
How bad is the rolling shutter on the camera?
It was the default 60i setting frame rate.
I just ordered my camera last night, but was wondering a few things.
Can the focus/iris ring also be set to a zoom ring?
and are the user buttons completely customizable, or are there limitations?
thanks
plz help choose between this and ag-ac90...they have similar price...but this camera is 4 yrs old....what is your opinion....which one is better?
@avo7778 um, it's a camera, not a car or a house. lol. i don't think you can lease a camera like that. best to just save up for it or get it as a gift from someone. i recently got it as a christmas gift.
Hello. Great review!
I was wondering, does this camera have fully manually settings (aperture, shutter speed etc.) or is the only thing you can setup manually the shutter speed?
Thanks!
What's the best setting for low light for this camera?
What do you guys think about the HMC40 vs the DVX100 for film making?
Thoughts? I'm absolutely torn. Thanks!
@tijuanapkfr
well yeah you can go up to cameras worth $7000, but I film skating and this camera seems to be a good all round camera that isn't TOO pricey. (also remember that once you get the money the cameras price will be lower)
Can i make livestream (on facebbok) with this camera?
can you turn the steady shot on and off
@dteubner how many pixels does this cam have, 720, 1080
Hey I have a t2i. And my laptop handles it perfectly. So does this mean it could handle the avchd? Is it the same thing? Please help thanks!
Is this camera comparable with the old standard AGDVX100b?
excellent review thanks so much!! HELPED ALOT!!
Hi, I'm a beginner at this. I was wandering which camera would be best for me: Panasonic HDC-TM700K or AG-HMC40. I'll be using it to make short films. Help would be appreciative =)
does this camera take pictures??
Hi This camera AG-HMC40 is the same AG-HMC40P ?
Which batteries are compatible with this camera?
I just ordered this camera tonight. I also ordered the rode video mic...I'm choosing to go without the XLR adapter and just plug the mic into the mic port. Will that work?
Which cards are the best SD cards to use with this camera?
Can I conect directly to power directly so I can record like 4 or more hours?
@dteubner What if im twirling a stick around in my hand, would it effect that?
