The Dyson DC40 Origin has room to improve

The Dyson DC40 Origin isn't a clean sweep

The ; 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.

Dyson DC40 Origin

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...

Canon DC40

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

Image quality

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.

Consumer ratings for the vacuum average about 90.4 out of a possible 100 (or 4.5 stars out of 5). It should be noted that even though the vacuum is widely distributed it has not yet generated a large number of owner ratings. But the sample size is...

Dyson DC40 Multi Floor

The DC40 has new technology, but performance isn't enough to warrant $500 price tag.

Almost perfect on hardwood; Good on debris pickup

Struggles on high pile; External tools aren’t great
