A third camera, the HD10, carries just a 40GB hard drive and is limited to a 4:3 ratio 1440×1080 resolution for up to 16 hours (five at full quality) while keeping the microSDHC slot and most other features.The camera lines come with Windows editing software and a plug-in to allow MPEG-2 editing in Final Cut Pro and iMovie.

The camcorders ship in August at a price of $800 for the entry HD10, $1,000 for the HD30, and $1,300 for the HD40.
