What would be a good camcorder for taking videos of action?

The Canon HV40 comes from a rich heritage of MiniDV/HDV camcorders. The HV40 slams the competition out of the ballpark with Canon’s optics & sensor, and swift reliable auto-focus. The video is very clear, with crisp colors and razor sharpness. The HV40 is the latest in an outstanding line and offers a very compelling option for some not to jump on the AVCHD bandwagon just yet.
