"Poor Image Quality" on by PhotoMasterGreg
Pros: Convenient size.
Smooth Optical Zoom.
Nice Viewing ScreenCons: Poor Image Quality
Best Features not Available when using memory card.
Max memory card size is 2Gig.
Flukey focus.Summary: The size of this camera is convenient and the screen is great. I could hold it up over my head, with the display angled down and could see beautifully. Because of it's light weight, holding it for a while would not be a problem, although I would suggest using a tripod. The optical zoom is powerful, smooth and convenient. But the auto-focus was kind of flukey. I was very disappointed with the image quality. The image quality was poor at best. I thought the poor image quality was due to low light, but even outside on a sunny day the image was tiled and the focus was less than ideal. I have always loved Samsung devices, but this video camera was a disappointment. I am hoping that I just got a dud.

"DVD-R's don't work , and customer service doesn't care" on by diane270
Pros: easy to use
Cons: Manual says DVD-Rs will work and after 2 discs completely lost, and 2 that don't finalize so are rendered unusable. Samsung refuses to remedy, and said that DVD-R's usually dont work, even though their manual says they do.
Summary: Samsung refuses to remedy the problem I've had, and said that DVD-R's usually dont work, even though their manual says they do. This complany doesn't stand by its product.

"Like the camcorder--hate the camera" on by lesleej
Pros: The video function is OK, and easy to operate.
Cons: This digital camera takes the worst quality pictures of any camera I've owned. I re-set the thing back to factory specs, thinking maybe I'd chosen the wrong settings. It's frustrating to spend more time adjusting a camera than taking pictures.

"Great hybrid camcorder! Great value for the price!" on by dastinson
Pros: Stores DVD resolution to either DVD+/-R and RW media, as well as SD. Battery lasts longer recording at same resolution to SD Flash (2GB 70% larger storage than the 8cm Single layer DVD media - camcorder can also use DL DVD). Built-in lens cap.
Cons: No remote on this model. Stock batteries harder to get although OEMs are common.
Summary: For the price point its definitely one of the better camcorders, especially with the flexibility of media.
