This review is from: Canon VIXIA HV40 - Camcorder - High Definition - widescreen - 2.96 Mpix - optical zoom: 10 x - Mini DV (HDV) (Electronics)

I purchased hv40 elsewhere last week, same price for only the camera. Does not come with flash card (MINI SD) which everyonne says is obsolete including Canon. I found it after driving 171 miles at an ATT store for $32.00. KINGSTON MBLY/2GB can be bought here in a kit containing MICRO and adapters for every size under $15.00.
The flash card enables you to take still photos while filming or during playback, guaranting a usable pic. Super camera.
