Surprised by the quality of this tiny little camera .
Used own brand SDHC cards and they worked fine .
Read quite a few reviews before purchasing . Can only suggest that the negative reviewers hadn't followed all the instructions or used the correct rating of memory card .
I usually visit the manufacturer's website to download and read the instruction manual for the product before purchasing . Must have missed the fact that the editing software provided requires a much more sophisticated PC than mine . Anyway , the video clips can be read straight from the SDHC card and played on Quicktime Player , or converted using one of many free programmes and then edited in Windows Movie Maker .
Only gripe is that Amazon substantially reduced the price of this item very soon after I bought it . This happens far too often and they no longer refund the difference . | | Affordable cam with acceptable features: Rating: 3/5 |
The Bad:
The image quality is acceptable in normal light. Don't expect to shoot acceptable videos in low light conditions, the built-in CCD is very small (1/6"). The build is all plastic and the controls are limited to the bare minimum. External connectors are limited to USB and AV out. The digital image stabilizer does not help much with stabilizing - at lest you can disable it. The autofocus have difficulties in low light.
The Good:
The camcorder is very small and light. The ergonomic design makes it nice to use. There are some manual settings available in the menus, manual focus included. There's an easy mode as well for those who don't want to fiddle with the settings. The timelapse function is cool. Basic video editing software is supplied for Windows (Intelli Studio).
This is a really basic SD camcorder from Samsung. | | An Amazing Begginers Camcorder: Rating: 5/5 |
| Overall, I think this is an amazing little camera, its great for a first camcorder, and is generally easy to use with some great quality SD clips, sure its not HD, but if you want a HD camera, go and get one instead of complaining about it :) | | Squeal: Rating: 2/5 |
| I like all the features on this camcorder except the sound. There is a noticeable squeal coming from the zoom and autofocus motors, enough to drive me round the bend! Anyone else heard this? | | Good Value Camcorder: Rating: 4/5 |
| I bought this camcorder as a replacement for the mini-DV samsung which is no longer produced and which had suddenly stopped working. Although I've not yet had a great deal of practice with it I'm enjoying the additional features over my previous one. I particularly like being able to grab still jpeg images from the video shot - saves carrying around a still and camcorder. Also very small and light making it easy to carry around - fits into any pocket. The use of an SD card, although more expensive than mini DV tapes, means that finding a particular scene is much quicker and you can buy large capacity 16 or 32gb cards to hold 8 or 16 hours of video. However these cards are still very expensive. The only down side so far I've found is as a result of it being so tiny, this makes it harder to film smoothly. Obviously this will get better with practice as you get used to it. I have also found that the Digital zoom, whilst not quite as good as optical, on this camera the quality is quite acceptable - if you can keep it still and avoid hand shake. Lots of different settings (some of which I've not had chance to try yet) and the picture colour and quality on optical zoom settings is very good - much better than my previous mini-DV. All in all great value for money, but at this price don't expect a Ferrari. |
