Review on πŸ“Ή Samsung F90 Black Camcorder: HD Video Recording with 2.7" LCD Screen (Discontinued Model) by Brett Morrison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little camcorder aside from short battery life

This camera is a good little camcorder and I've had no problems with it. I bought it before the holidays after my best one broke. It was pretty good, with the only complaint being the battery life. I was expecting it to last a little longer than it actually did and it seemed like I got just over an hour of camera time before needing to recharge it. Because of this, I lost a precious video of my mother who is in hospice, so I wasn't too lucky. The battery life given by the manufacturer is a bit exaggerated. If you can live with that, then everything else about this camcorder is just great. Zooming in and out worked well for the price of this camera. Others say it takes a moment to focus, and that's true, but it takes less than a second. It didn't bother me at all and for the price of the camera I found it worked pretty well. You really do get what you pay for so for the price I'm quite happy with this camera. The only thing I'm disappointed with is the battery life. This camera is very light and easy to use. Most of these are self-explanatory or easy to understand. The screen has to be open to plug this camera in for charging, but I don't mind that either. I don't use it while it's charging, so who cares if the door is open? Again, I'll say you get what you pay for, so don't expect a $600 camcorder at this price point. But for what you pay I feel you get a good deal on this camera.
