INTERMEDIATE SOLUTION Best in Camera & Photo

Nice little camera, but Samsung marketers tend to overlook some of its shortcomings. First, it advertises an external camera but overlooks the fact that you can't zoom when using it or take pictures with it. The resolution and ambient lighting leave something to be desired, and activation cannot be done from the camera (the record button is on the wired connection). won't be obvious until you read the fine print. The battery life with the included one is really almost worthless. The only reason

Pros
  • Portable MP3 Player
Cons
  • Poorly Thought Out

Compact, easy to use, software could be better.

This is my first camcorder and I have to say it's very easy to use. It has many functions and it is convenient to store it on a memory card and switch from internal to external storage and vice versa during recording. Contrary to other posts, I was able to use the 2G external storage, which gives me a lot more time to take pictures. It's nice to have an MP3 option, but you don't want to waste your battery and cut down on your recording time while listening to MP3s. Also, you MUST use batch…

Pros
  • Records video and digital photos
Cons
  • Price beats the piggy bank

Bad function layout. Choose Sanyo Xacti instead

I've tried several digital camcorders to find the best way to go straight to DVD without tape. Samsung Miniket SCM105S is far from the best. Photography is limited to 1.2 megapixels. (Xacti 3.2, 4 and 5) With the available formats you can't (perhaps) record the highest quality MPEG files on an external Memory Stick Pro. In the internal memory (approx. 495 MB) DVD quality can only be achieved for around 10 minutes. Also, external storage is limited to 1GB. (Not so with the Sanyo Xacti, which…

Pros
  • Portable Storage Device
Cons
  • Hard to say

Poor video quality, ergonomics

Camera received yesterday, returned today. This is my first digital video camera, the previous one was VHS-C. I digitized all my old VHS tapes and burned them to DVD and the quality is ok. The MPEG4 quality of this camera is lower and I expected better. Even with the highest quality settings, the video quality still leaves a lot to be desired. It also has trouble getting and holding focus when objects are moving. Another issue is ergonomics. Placing your finger in front of the lens is very…

Pros
  • 6-in-1 features
Cons
  • Waiting too long
