Summary: Great Camcorder - Samsung SCW62
Review: For the beginner or someone needing a second, inexpensive camcorder, this one is great. Generally, easy to use but with many features. I didn't expect this much from an inexpensive unit. This Hi8 camcorder is easy to hook up to a VCR for copying to a standard VCR tape. The battery charge lasts for the full time, as advertised. My only complaint, if you can call it that, has to do with the marking of the buttons on the top of the camcorder (EDIT-, LIGHT, EDIT+, and DATE/TIME). They have dual functions depending on which mode (Camera or Player) has been selected. However, they are marked for only one option. The user has to remember which button to press. For example, to PLAY, press the LIGHT button). This can be confusing intitally. Regardless, this is a fine item for the price.

Summary: Unbelievable Quality!
Review: I was so thrilled about the quality of this camera! After reading the previous reviews I decided to buy it (Had intended on a more expensive camcorder but changed my mind after reading about this camcorder) To say it is worth the money is definitely an understatement! It is really a great camcorder. The only small complaint I would have is that the person's voice that you are recording is not as loud as I would like it to be. The one doing the recording is much louder than the one being taped. That may be with all camcorders since the microphone is right near the recorders' mouth, but I expected the subject to be louder in volume than it was. Overall, I am not at all dissapointed. Although I am not an expert with camcorders, I would definitley purchase this one before spending alot more on another one with similar features. Very well made!

Summary: A Top Contender for the Hi8 Class
Review: No doubt, this camera's got a lot, for a very cheap price. Compared to my previous camera which cost around ..., the Samsung SCW62 has more features, better quality, superior performance, and 1/4 the price tag. Samsung has really out-done themselves this time around for the price range. Some notable features - DSP, auto and manual focus, BLC, several AE presets ranging from 1/60 to 1/10,000 (buy a BIG light), some limited manual white balance presets, and composite and S-Video outputs. Seriously lacking from this package is an external mic jack, any type of recording function that lets you record edited video back to the camera from a deck or computer, image stabilizing for those of us who drink too much coffee, and only mono (not stereo) audio recording capabilities. If you later opt to upgrade to digital and choose Sony's Digital 8 format, you'll still be able to playback the cassettes recorded on this camera, as well as transfer them to computer via Sony's iLink. In short, this is a fine camera for quick and easy home videos, and with the Hi8 format, although it can't compare to DV, it is certainly a lot better than VHS or 8mm quality.

Summary: Much more than we thought!
Review: We were about to have a baby and my wife and I realized that having a simple camcorder would be nice thing to have. I wasn't shopping for anything fancy, and I certainly wasn't in the market to make films, however, for the price, this little Hi-8 camcorder does a great jop. In fact, its taping quality is fantistic.
The only thing that I wish that it had was image stablization. A tri-pod fixes that problem. It has many features that we would never use, but is still nice to see them there. My wife and I were impressed with the quality of the picture the very first time we watched a video.
Also, one thing to look out for, Samsung camcorder batteries are hard to find. For some reason, other than Samsung, Rayovac is the only company that makes a backup battery for this camcorder.
But enjoy, you won't be disapointed.
