dead after 4-6 hours of use2008-08-26
had this camcorder for 2 years now only used it at xmas and birthdays and now it keeps flashing on the screen to eject the tape. it's a mechanical problem and is going to cost almost as much as the camera costed to get fixed
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMCORDER!2008-08-03
This camcorder is unreliable. I purchased one locally (not from Amazon.com), and it failed after I had recorded less than one and a half tapes. Unfortunately, by that time it was out of warranty, so I am stuck with it although it is now useless. Checking online, I discovered that other owners have experienced the same problem. (The camcorder will not record or play tapes because the "eject" signal appears even with new tapes.) After this experience, I would avoid all Samsung products.
samsung sc-d3632008-02-28
Don't buy this camera. And if you own one, like me, don't capture your precious family moments with this camera. The video quality is very bad, with red tones shifted towards the magenta. It is almost imposible to get good focus with the camera, even in manual focus mode. The motors that drive the tape are extremely noisy. All this noise is unfortunatelly captured forever in your recordings. Battery life is also very short. The built-in SD card for tapeless recordings is a hoax; the pictures are worst than the ones captured from the cheapest camera phone, they also have the same problem with the red tones, captured as magentas. The video captured on the SD card, is low quality recording not acceptable for a video camera. Save a few more dollars and go with a better camera. You will get what you paid for with this camera.
Good Job2007-11-23
The product was shipped by "trusted_technophile" and arrive EXACTLY as described... keep up the good work!

I was worried, because it was used... but, no problems & fast service.

The camcorder, so far, seems to be a mostly daytime unit with crisp audio. I use it as an auxiliary camera, since it's so small and light... I can get it to more filming locations with less worry of loosing an expensive camera.
My Last Samsung Product2007-09-14
This camera worked fine for a while. After about six months, I started getting a mechanical fault. This camera has less than 2 hours of total use, has been stored and used carefully in the box it came in. Samsungs min charge for repairs is $80.00. $40.00/hr seems just a bit steep for a camcorder and I just can't see spending 40% of the retail cost for repairs in what has proven to be an inferior quality product. Save your money, buy a Canon.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
