Last March 13, 2010, we bought a Sony Handycam DCR-SX40 at Western Appliance. The list price was P22,999 and we got it for a rock bottom price of P16,999. The highlights of the new toy include:
HYBRID convenience: 4GB internal memory & Memory Stick
60x optical zoom
Touch Panel LCD with user-friendly menu system
Easy Handycam® Button
Scene Selection
2.7" Wide LCD
Compact at 53mm x 59mm x 113mm (W x H x D)
Lightweight at 200g (approx)

This video camera is a fitting replacement for our 7 year old Sony Handycam DCR-TRV19 (mini DV). While our first handycam served its purpose and still useful, technology already caught up hence the need to replace it. Now the challenge is to convert the movie files from miniDV to DVD format which actually cost P650 per hour at www.copytown.net.
Actually, the financial impact of this expense to our resources is merely P4,000 since the company shouldered P13,000 as a service award gift for being with the company for the last 15 years.
A good deal indeed.
