"Unreliable internal parts"
Pros: Good pic. quality, small, lightweight
Cons: Unreliable internal parts, short battery life, zoom control hard to reach
Summary: I would not recommend this camera. After owning this camcorder for 14 mos. and less that 5 hrs. use, the CCD element failed, rendering this camera useless. Since the factory warranty had expired 2 mos. earlier ( 1 yr. warranty), customer support would only refer me to a local repair shop. The repair cost me a whopping $197.85 making this a cheap camcorder with a big price.

A class action lawsuit was won against Samsung for diffective CCD Elements. your repairs will be reimbursed from Samsung or a similar model will be given to you if you want to upgrade free of charge. or if you have yet to repair the camcorder samsung will pay the priority shipping and repair free. I had my camera sitting in my closet for 4 years. when I stumbled online upon the lawsuit with scd-23 included, I called samsung and they e-mailed me the shipping label. total repair turn time was about 5 days.
