Samsung SC-D107

Pros: Very usable, even for novice filmmakers.

Cons: No firewire cable included. No SD card included.

The Bottom Line: Nice easy layout, easy access to advanced features, A/V in and out. Great price. You won't regret this purchase.

Review: Picked this up from newegg.com for $349 plus shipping. Came in sealed retail box. My only beef is that the memory card and firewire cable is not included in the box and must be purchased seperately. I purchased a Canon ZR-60 and Panasonic PV-73 and ...

Pros: Easy to use, impressive quality of the recording

Cons: Expensive to buy the memory card if you want to go digital.

The Bottom Line: A Great camera for those tight on a budget but looking for quality

Review: This camera was my first attempt at using the miniDV format and we couldnt have been more pleased. I got it at Costoc for $286 which was alot less than the others but was impressed at the number of features. I had a VHS-C camcorder before and quickly saw ...

Pros: Great camera for its price range.

Cons: Takes moderate quality still pictures.

Review: Had this camera for a week now. Worked great for capturing the kids' soccer games, a school play, and just general tomfoolery around the house. We are looking forward to a summer vacation and plan to give the camera a serious workout. Couple of ...

Pros: Small, many features, big LCD, night vision

Cons: Horrible digital snapshots, not so great filming quality (colors, dull images, etc)

The Bottom Line: For budget buyers and families, I would recommend this camera. The last thing needed is a $1000 camera broken by a toddler (I'm speaking from experience).

Review: Camera The camera has a lot of features, including USB and IEEE 1394 (firewire) connectivity. (When possible, avoid using USB to upload video. The quality of USB streamed video is poor.) Most of the buttons and switches are easy to reach, and the ...

Pros: Flexibility of many inputs and outputs, size of screen, and features.

Cons: Still image quality, unimpressive video quality.

The Bottom Line: The flexibility of this camcorder is why I suggest it to anyone who is going to do more than just shoot some home movies.

Review: The Samsung SDC107 fell into my lap at a great deal so I had to give it a try. The miniDV format was what I was using already to produce our public access show According To Whim. I had moderate luck with the Sharp I was using but I wanted more than ...

Pros: I love all the input and output interfaces, even more interfaces than expensive cameras.

Cons: Bad color quality, no adjustment to white balance helps. NO change in lighting helps either.

Review: It has all the bells and whistles you need but the bottom line on color quality is the colors are faded and off. I bought it because of the interfaces offered. I have used the camera for a while and I am very disappointed with the image color quality. ...

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Horrible customer service, product always breaking.

Review: Last year I purchased a Samsung SCD23 a little over one month later the camcorder broke, it recorded and played little lines through the picture. Since we didn't have the extended warranty we had to send the camcorder to samsung to have them fix it for ...
