Optura 40 Digital Video Camcorder Review
The good: Small size; fine zoom lens; above-average sound quality; decent color; easy to use; video light.
The bad: Wimpy battery; cheesy digital effects; minimal bundled software.
The bottom line: If the Optura 30 is good, the Optura 40 is better, thanks to its video light. But if you don't find yourself shooting in a lot of low-light situations, it may not be worth the cash.
