Both the SMX-K45 and SMX-K40 are standard definition (SD, 720×480) camcorders with a 52x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. Hopefully, the recording quality is decent and both devicescould begood candidates for web videos, although recently, the YouTube quality has gone up quite a bit… Among the differences, the SMX-K40 can record on removable flash cards only, while the SMX-K45 has a 32GB SSD. We think that most folks would be content with a 16GB card, which isworth about $40 online. Price: $329 (smx-k40) and $499 (smx-k45).
