Summary: Perfect for vacation
Comment: Shame on folks complaining about this camera. For its price, it's darn near perfect. Small, light, expandable memory, holds a charge, and does what it should. Set the anti-shake to "on" and you're good to go. If your videos are junk, blame the person behind the camera. We just took it, fresh out of the box, to catch precious memories in Memphis, for Elvis Week. I got more than I expected, especially after reading these reviews prior to our trip. I took videos while driving, and they look just fine! Night time, while walking down Beale at night was a little rough, but it was MY fault. I knew enough to slow down. But even those aren't awful. 99% were what I expected or better. If you spend any time on YouTube, you know what junk looks like. This isn't it. If you want a vacation camera, you can't go wrong with this one. It's so light and small, and is priced quite nicely. Just make certain that you set the anti-shake and buy a large memory card. (But don't try to bring your vacation home with you. Be in the moment. Use it to get moving snapshots or folks talking. Don't try to keep it rolling 75% of the time, otherwise you'll personally miss the moment as it happens, plus you'll bore the crap out of your friends and family.) Love it!!!

Summary: I Liked it
Comment: Got it yesterday, brought for my fried. I like this camcorder for the value of money. It is very light and easy to use. It looks good too, the battery is not very heavy. Only thing is you have to spend atleast $50 to get a SD card of 16 Gig atleast (Maybe you can look for some deal and buy it cheaper). It comes with Power Director software for video editing.
Overall i liked it.

Summary: Decent Camera, Perfect for my needs
Comment: The camera has different image resolution settings, on the default (480i) setting, the image quality is terrible, but if you switch to 480p, the image becomes average quality, and the digital blocky artifacts disappear. I am not sure why Samsung (a great company) would mess up the 480i option, then use it as default in a shipping product, but if you switch to 480p all is well.
The zoom is great, the camera seems a bit low on settings, but its compact, lightweight, and records to mpeg4. You will need to download the Samsung codec from Samsung's website, but then its easy to transfer files from the SD card, play them in Windows Media Player, manipulate them in your favorite software, etc.
My primary intention for this camera was to install it on a roll bar in a sportscar, for this purpose, it uses flash memory, few moving parts, the zoom is actually not important, but sound quality is good, and in 'action' setting, with 480p resolution selected, image quality is good. I wish it came with a remote control, but its a simple process to press the record button.
The camera comes with a 512MB card, good for approx 15 minutes of 'high quality' video, and supports up to an 8GB SD card. I purchased a 4GB SD card, which is good for 120 minutes of video, as that is how long the battery lasts, 2 hours.

Summary: Proprietary Samsung mpeg4 codec
Comment: The camera itself is fine, but it records in a Samsung proprietary mpeg4 format. This means that you can edit your output only with the Samsung/Cyberlink software, which is vastly inferior to the video editing software available from other companies. This incompatibility means that you become a prisoner to Samsung. I have communicated with Samsung's customer service on this topic, and they do not offer any solution to solve the incompatibility. Conversely, the purveyors of better editing software (e.g. Sony Vegas) apologize for the fact that Samsung deliberately makes it impossible for their programs to accept Samsung input.

Summary: A Waste Of Money! Lousy Warranty!
Comment: I bought this looking for a decent camcorder that I could carry on my motorcycle. I owned it 100 days when it ceased charging the battery. I called Samsung to see if it would be fixed under the warranty. Yeah, right! 90 day warranty! No exceptios! Last Samsung product I'll ever buy!
