Customer Reviews

Nice little camera
I give this one 4 out of 5 stars. The video quality is excellent in brightly-lit conditions, but in the dark, the video is virtually nonexistent. There is no built-in light and no place to hook up a flash, so this makes the camera almost useless at night.
I love the size of it. It fits in a shirt pocket, and, unless you know what you're looking at, it's almost indistinguishable from a regular still camera, which it will act as also.
It also functions as an MP3 player, but personally, I wouldn't use it for that. The audio quality on playback is very much like an old transistor radio.
It records directly onto an SD memory card, so the only moving parts are for the focus.
I bought two 1-gig SD memory cards for it, and at the superfine setting (which is TV quality) I can fit about 23 minutes of video on each. This dovetails great with a battery life of about 45 minutes on a full charge (it will take up to a 2-gig card). Also, it records in AVI format, and with the codec that comes on CD with it, you can take the SD card out, pop it into your notebook, and play the video directly off the card. You can also hook it up to a USB port with the cable that's provided, and it shows up as a mass-storage device.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this one, if you take a lot of video during the day, or indoors in well-lighted areas.

Good begining in digital video
I bought the camera at $270, it then dropped to $230, and now I see it's at $300! So in other words, keep an eye out for good deals. If you can get it for under $250 it's worth looking at. I'm a pilot and use this camera to shoot my travels, especially approaches into airports. In some aircraft I can squeeze it into a tiny spot such as a hand hold and it works perfectly. It can record with the LCD tucked away as long as the power is on. Unfortunately, it's small size is sometimes a problem. It's not possible to simply set the camera down and have it record. It either has to be hand held or proped up against something. Also, because it is so small, it's hard to get a good grip on it which can make it bounce around easily in your hands. A fix to this is to get a cheap monopod and attach the camcorder to it. This allows for added stability and an comfortable grip. You can also extend the monopod to get your camera way above your head or down near the ground for some interesting shots. Overall, it's an ok camcorder. I'm an avid photographer and just wanted to try my hand at digital video. It definately does the trick. I would give it 3.5 stars.

Pros
-Tiny, it's really not much bigger than your average pda/cell phone
-Easily tucks away among all my heavy still camera gear
-Easy to use, not a lot of features to get confused with
-I only use it for video, but other features are nice to have
-Has video-in so you can capture video from TV digitally
-You can take a lot of video with a 2GB card and 512MB internal memory
-10x zoom in such a tiny camera
-SD cards make it easy to transfer video
-Comes with decent software to make basic edits (all that I need)

Cons
-Low quality video, but ok for basic playback on computer or tv
-No microphone input jack
-Low battery life (45min tops)
-Hard to find replacement batteries
-LCD screen hard to manipulate (doesn't stay put when at 45-degrees)
-Absolutely not usable in anything other than broad daylight
-Poor auto focus and manual focus is hard to judge on LCD screen
-I'm not sure if it's my computer or the software, but working with the audio in your videos often causes the program to freeze or skip.

Not for a professional
This camcorder is great, for an amateur. I bought it for my [...]son after I returned the Sanyo Xacti VPC-C40 because it would not charge the battery a second time. The Sanyo was easier to transfer the video to a computer, no software to install. The Samsung is just as easy other than that. It only takes about 2 minutes to install the required files (2)on a computer running XP but might be a problem if you want to send the video to a family member since they won't have the dv driver and video codec. My son has made several short takes with only the TV for background light and they are fine. It will not accept any of my 2 gig SD cards but that may be because they've been used in other cameras. It works great with "new" 1 gig SD cards. If this camera was designed for fun then it hits the mark. If you want professional videos then you should buy a professional camera.
