My Canon Powershot A570 digital camera takes much better video clips than this Camcorder. I did side by side comparison of video clips of the same scene. Keep looking. Lots of settings. Poor video quality.
After contacting Customer Service, I was informed that I could send the camera to their service center in New Jersey where it would be repaired and returned for the flat fee of $161.15. A longtime Samsung supporter, I had high hopes and was hopeful that for $300 (at the time) this would be my light use, family event camcorder for the next 5-7 years. New plan, grab some small screwdrivers and start tinkering, meanwhile I'm here to pick up a new Sony, Cannon, or Panasonic and strongly advise anyone reading this review or considering this camera to quickly DO THE SAME. Two downsides for me are (1) The camera is now $190 (+/-) brand new, and, (2) The warranty on repairs is only for a whopping 30 days. NO CHANCE. this camera stopped working suddenly and without warning after only 3 months and perhaps 3 total hours of use (how convenient that Samsung's warranty expires at exactly 3/months).
He says its easy to use and fits right in his hand I bought for for my b/f X-Mas 08.He loves it.
This is an awsome little camcorder, shoots great picture, has good options, and has a great zoom, i would have given it 5 stars, but mine broke after 2 weeks, but i sent it in to get repaired, and they already shipped it backso Life Is Good
I bought this camera thinking it was a great valu for the price, but when you record anything (interior and exterior) you are recording all the motor noise from the camera's mechanical system.I try to reduce the noise by editing, with pinnacle, and that work if nobody is speaking.The image quality is good, the camera look great and is tiny, you can carry it very easy.I don't recommend this camcorder, spend a few bucks more and get another brand
