windinmyface 0 #2 August 29, 2005 I have the HC-40. From looking at the HC-42 specs, it looks like the docking station that comes with the 42 is the only real difference. Both still have all the same ports on the right side of the camera. ----- I am Dyslexia of Borg, futility is resistant, your ass will be laminated.

velvetjo 0 #3 August 29, 2005 I have an HC-40, and a buddy of mine has an HC-42. Differences I've seen from a practical perspective at the DZ: HC-40: - firewire port on camera - emulates widescreen HC-42: - a little fatter (not much) - firewire port on docking station - true widescreen / LCD is widescreen Check out the clickies above for more detailed specs (or do a web search). Both of us are happy with the cameras so far and jump them in Bonehead Optiks with d-boxes, which fit quite nicely. Lance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velvetjo 0 #4 August 29, 2005 Not true. HC-42 doesn't have USB or firewire (1394) on board the camera, as we found out when trying to do a transfer without the dock last weekend. Lance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
