good camcorder

I've had no problems with the camcorder itself, it is very simple to use but does everything you really need a camcorder to do. Only 1 negative thing and that's the standard battery which doesn't keep it's charge for as long as I'd like.

Good, basic camera

This is a good, basic camera for the price. The picture quality is not superb, but it is not bad as well. The 34x zoom is powerful and does it's job well. You will have to buy a firewire cable for it. I made the mistake of buying it from Jessops for...

Low Quality Camcorder

I bought the Camcorder from Amazon because I previously had a Hi8 Samsung camcorder, which died. The functionalities of this DV version is very basic and it is made from cheap plastic. It feels like it is going to break anytime soon. I tried it for...
