The AVCHD format is more ideal for archiving while the MP4 format is optimized for compatibility and small file size making it great for sharing. The Canon HF G40 is capable of recording 1080p/60p video in MP4 or AVCHD formats. This setting can affect the OLED screen too. Those fond of using the electronic viewfinder will really like that high priority mode because it comes with a special view assist function which increases the brightness of the viewfinder and optimizes the gamma so the overall footage looks more realistic. There is also the Wide Dynamic Range Gamma for far better dynamic range. It consists of the Highlight Priority Gamma which is like a pseudo-HDR mode for preserving certain details that video compression normally gets rid of. The other major addition to the HF G40 is the new вЂњ LooksвЂќ setting which allows easier access to certain imaging effects designed to make the videos a bit better depending on the scene. This effectively makes the Canon HF G40 a miniature version of the XA30.

However, the HF G40 possesses the new HD CMOS PRO Image Sensor which is the same sensor the XA35 and XA30 models use. Both models even have the same DIGIC DV 4 image processor and 20x wide-angle lens. The Canon HF G40 actually shares the same body as the VIXIA HF G30. It is also compatible with some official Canon accessories like the Video Light VL-5 and 5.1-ch surround mic SM-V1 which attach to the camcorderвЂ™s accessory shoe. More things are bundled in the package too including a lens hood with barrier, HDMI cable, stereo video cable, interface cable and wireless controller. All that extra bulk makes the camcorder weigh about 1.7 pounds but the grip belt still makes the camcorder feel comfortable to use. It also comes equipped with dual SD card slots as there is no internal memory.

Some of the features that make this camcorder stand out from the rest of the more affordable lineup are the impressive 3.5-inch OLED display and electronic viewfinder. Canon made the Canon HF G40 for wedding videographers, student reports and amateur filmmakers.
