YES the xacti c40 or c4 (they are similar) is the camera i have as well! PC users, don't fear the MP4, it can easily be converted to an AVI for use in Windows Movie Maker using the following open source, free programs:
MP4Cam2AVI converter http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/ or MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/ i just found out that MPEG Streamclip does batch converts too, it's the bomb. cheers! -ryanne p.s. tony, what converting software did you find to use?
