Excellent Services by jonnii on amazon.com Jun 22, 2012
I've never owned any Canon products before. I always buy Sony electronic items. Well, our Sony HDD Handycam camcorder was broken. I decided to look into another brands out there in the market. After reviewing and comparing Canon camcorders in this Amazon.com, ...
 
Amazing Video Camera by Familyman123 on bestbuy.com Apr 25, 2012
The low light video quality is amazing. I kind of wished that I the did a little more research before buying the M40. I did not realize that the M41 had a viewfinder. Using the flat screen to view the imagine can be difficult. I got a good deal, so I can't complain...

5 star for the price by AP28 on crutchfield.com Jan 31, 2012
I see this is discontinued, glad I picked one up while I could. At the price (I can't remember exact amount) I prefer it to the HFR20 that I previously owned. Stabilization and low light recording..very good. Some of the manual features you will need ...
 
A really Nice Camcorder Dec 12, 2011

Worthless!!!!!!!!!!!! by Sensei "Sensei" on amazon.com May 8, 2012

Not up to Canon quality by Not_keith on bhphotovideo.com Jan 2, 2012
Touch screen requires too hard of a touch making it difficult to make selections. Menu navigation is terrible and is not intuitive. Still photos are sub-par and Canon should be imbarrassed. Software provided didn't work. On the plus side, it does take good video. I do not recommend this product.

Read carefully, not the same camera as the M41 by Joe TI "5 rocks" on amazon.com Nov 17, 2011
Amazon should not have put these three cameras, the M400, M40, and M41 on the same page. The selection buttons imply that the main difference is in the memory capacity and configuration. I purchased the M400, only to discover when I received it that ...
 
User Interface for canon sucks!!! by J. Lee "Smart guy" on amazon.com Oct 26, 2011
Using MiniDV for more than 10 years, I purchased the tapeless HD camcorder, m41. The auto white balance is horrible. Not like SLR camera. And the video user interface (play, stop, rew, ff, etc.) must be made by small children. It doesn't even have a slide ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Canon VIXIA HF M40 Full HD Camcorder with HD CMOS Pro...
I must say, this camera's footage is nearly spot on in many instances (TNT in HD, FOX in HD, USA in HD) I'd like to believe I have a good signal from my cable provider into my television, so in overall video quality, I'd give this camera 5 stars...So why not 5 stars overall for this camera...Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and feel Canon has put out a very competitive product with great results...

Canon VIXIA HF M40 High-definition camcorder with 16GB flash memory at Crutchfield.com
For the price point this isn't a bad camcorder...If you have any doubt to how good this camcorder is, I encourage you to just get it and you too will be just as thrilled as I was...But I'm doing it little by little (with the help of the Adobe written manual.) And overall, i'm glad I purchased this camera...especially for the price which was my main attractive to begin with...

Canon Vixia HF M40 (black) prices and availability - CNET Shopper
Again this is a quick review, general scan of the manual, and usually I'm good to go, and yes there may be some finer points that are missed, or just poorly implemented out by Canon, that it takes more time to figure them out...This is in very low light, and if you manually use the camera and control the gain on the Panasonic, it can be avoided, but the Canon is better overall in low light...The Panasonic is sharp, and the Canon I now find sharp too, on later review, the Canon looks very good, and now maybe a little sharper...

Review: Canon HF M40 | AusCam Online - Write | Light | Shoot | Edit | Distribute
And this is why my short relationship with the Canon Legria HF M40 won’t lead to a future together...The M40 supports the ‘Who needs a viewfinder...The LCD however, is good size at 7.5cm wide which makes using the touch screen controls that bit easier...This is not the camera for the serious video hobbyist but it does pack a lot good technology into a small package along with a lot of useless ‘because we can’ type stuff...

Canon Vixia HF M40 Camcorder Review | PCWorld
Even in dim light, the HF M40 captures a high-quality video image...Under normal lighting conditions, HD video shows excellent color and sharpness, very good exposure control, and smooth motion...we'd like to see that capability added to camcorders at the HF M40's price, but the current approach only minimally degrades images...Overall, the HF M40 produces the best video image we've seen from a camcorder of its price...
