The Dyson DC40 Origin is the least expensive model in the Dyson line of upright vacuums. It's a sleek-looking vacuum with all of the attributes you expect from a Dyson product such as the ball technology and bright coloring, a yellow-orange in the case...
The DC40 Origin is a good-looking vacuum that functions well, but it’s not a showstopper in terms of performance.
Fragile-feeling hardware makes it hard to feel confident in the DC40’s durability and staying power.
You could do a lot worse than the DC40; however, you could also do better and spend less.

The DC40 is an excellent DVD video camera.
Crisp images, better than most DVD camcorders, good stills
Over-exposed images, poor battery life

Finally a camera that excels at capturing both still images and video.
Very good video quality. Decent 4-megapixel stills. Variety of special modes and features for both stills and video.
Significant shutter lag in auto mode. Video has a slight color cast. Reviewing still images is slow.
i had no problem importing the clips from the dc40 into adobe premiere elements 2.0 for video editing. i was also able to play the mini-disc on both my computer's dvd drive and in my dvd player once it had been finalized. continue reading

Canon DC40
Attractive, functional design; solid build quality; very decent daytime and surprisingly solid low-light video quality; broad set of semimanual photo and video controls.
Small LCD; uses Mini SD cards rather than standard SD; blinding video light; no S-Video input for converting analog video to DVDs.
The Canon DC40 definitely deserves a spot on your short list of DVD camcorders.

Whether you have allergies or just like a really, really clean floor, the Dyson DC40 will make sure every nook and cranny is pet-hair and dust-mite free.
Powerful suction ; Lots of attachments for a variety of surfaces ; Easy to figure out ; Space-age design ; Easy-to-find controls
Heavy ; Hose is stiff and awkward ; Ball head can't get under low furniture
Whether it's an allergen-free environment or just a super-clean floor that you're seeking, the Dyson DC40 Allergy is a fiend of a machine that does a magnificent job of picking up dirt you never even knew you had.
