"Awesome video, but poor user interface"
4.0 starson by cbkilnerPros: Great low light video
Good recording and media options
Excellent dynamic rangeCons: Poor menu structure
Need to use stylus because of poor touchscreen sensitivity
Touchscreen difficult to see in bright sunlight
Lens has narrow view at wide angleSummary: I have the HF M400 (with no built-in memory), which lacks the HD to SD option of the M40 and M41. The CNET review is quite accurate. The three modes of IS work OK for their intended purposes, but cause weirdness is misused - normal (stationary handheld, panning), dynamic (walking), and powered (telephoto). Other than my dislike for the touchscreen and menus, the only other issue I have is the narrow wide angle of the lens. Please Canon - fix the crappy interface (and the narrow lens)!
