Summary: Good camera for normal use
Review: One good feature with this camera is that it has a built in light, so the camcorder works great during nighttime. One more goodthing is that it can playback tape on TV in both NTSC & PAL. One major drawback is that this camera does not have the feature 'Digital Image Stabilization' ( minimizes unwanted picture shaking ). Comapred to SCL810, model SCL860 comes with this feature, and SCL860 is only few bucks more, so I shall recommend SCL860 compared to SCL810.

Review: There I was, ready to open a box filled with goodies- including a new camcorder. I opened the box and was excited to find the thing worked, okay. Soon, though, the fun died when I charged it, "Wow," says I, "This charges quickly!" After video taping a few different things I realized, "Hey, it doesn't even last a half an hour, fully charged!" Don't get me wrong, it has a terrific zoom, 22X optical, and it has some decsent digital effects. The sound quality is high and good, and the LCD displays a clear picture. Not bad, but it could be improved...

Summary: Avoid this
Review: This is a low-cost camcorder and the design and quality show why. Loose and poorly placed buttons will give you lots of headache when you go on a trip, and battery life is quite short at less than 30 minutes when you shoot with the LCD. LCD framerate is also problematic. In short, the few dollars you save with this isn't worth all the hassle or anxiety over when it might break. Go with a Sony or Canon.
