Canon MV 940

Easy to use, small and lightweight, fun extras

Included computer kit useless, still pictures awful

A good budget purchase for anyone who is new to digital video

Wide-screen LCD ; Easy-to-use controls ; Built-in lens cover ; Above-average colour reproduction ; 25x optical zoom ; Plenty of manual controls ; Accepts add-on lenses and filters ; Low price

No accessory shoe or microphone input ; Bottom-loading tape compartment ; Grainy, low-resolution still photos ; Not enough stabilisation at maximum zoom ; Poor low-light performance

Despite our gripes, the Canon MV940 should please the majority of users. Of course, if you have analog videos that you'd like to convert to digital or really think you need a built-in video light, then you'll want to step up to the MV960.

it's easy to use, has some good features, compact, good video

poor photo quality, doesn't come with the cables need to connect to PC for video

Cheap

Poor quality. Can't attach wide-angle lens

Easy to Use

Video in bright sunlight was grainy on the TV and the PC even using DVI (highest quality) on MS XP Movie Maker. Quite disappointing realy ; Need FireWire cable for Easy PC Connection ($20)
