Summary: Great Buy!!
Review: This camcorder is excellent. This is our first camcorder and I wanted to buy the best value for a fair price. I purchased this camcorder based 100% on the other reviews. I gave it 5 stars because of how easy it is to use, the compact size and quality. I didnt want too many bells and whistles just a nice camcorder that did what I wanted . We plan on using the camera to tape new homes that were looking to buy, our golf swing, vacations, and our family. I also wanted a digital camcorder to download pictures into the computer to send with emails. This Camcorder does just what I need, great buy. The first thing we taped was the neighborhood, the dog and of course ourselves and then played it back on the big screen. This is fun!!

Summary: Good If you don't mind that the date/time keeps on reseting.
Review: This is a nice camcorder for the money if you dont mind the Date/Time always reseting. I returned the first one because of this problem and guess what! The replacement did the same thing. I contacted Samsung and all they would say was that I had to send it to their service center. Forget it! I just got this thing now Ive got to wait for them to fix it. I think not. I returned the replacement as well and bought a Canon ZR40 for ...more. I love it. Im happy I did. Overall though, Its nice camcorder barring the problems I outlined.

Summary: Great camera but here are the flaws....
Review: First off let me start by saying that this is a great camera and for the money it is one of the best buys out there. The picture quality is great (it looks like you are really there!) and the sound quality is wonderfull because you can actually hear things on the left or right of you on a stereo system. I have owned this camera for 4 months now. The problems I have encountered are the following: When using the image stablizer, the image appears to have a fine, fast vibration to it, not very noticeable but it's there if you look for it. The camera also has a problem keeping the date correct. Every once in a while it resets to jan 1 2001. It has been doing this since I bought it. The lcd is absoultly horrible for daylight use. It would be nice to have a transreflective backlight. Other than that, it's great you'll love it!

Summary: WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF......
Review: Ever since I was a little girl I had dreamed of owning me very own video camera. I remember my parents dragging out the old large and clunky camera out of the closet for graduations and weddings, but I was forbidden to touch it. When I went through high school I urged my fellow peers to petition for a video education class: but my dream never faced reality. I am out of college now, a success you might say, and now that I am the mother and am watching my children grow I think "wouldn't it be nice to catch it all on tape??" And I can!! I purchased the Samsung camera and my dreams came true! It made up for the video education class not being run, it even made up for my parents filming me as a baby in the bathtub (actually, now that i look back, i find it very cute and plan on doing the Same to my children!!). In short: the Samsung camera is truly: WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

Summary: Excellent value!!!
Review: I recently bought this camera and I really like it! After a ton of shopping around, both locally and via internet, I thought I would have to pay at least $700 or so to get into digital camcorders. When I saw this one, I thought it was definately worth a shot. So I got it, and, wow! Excellent value and it came with everything I needed to get started, including a lithium ion battery! I'm very pleased!

Summary: disaster
Review: I bought the SCD77 (which is the SCD67 with still photoc capability). The camera failed without warning at an important event. Samsung sent me to a local dealer, but it turns out only CVE in NJ takes digital camcorders. CVE kept it for 6 weeks and refused to reply to 6 voicemails and 5 emails. Then, after I got it back (with the help of Samsung customer support), it looks like they didn't touch it. The exact same problems remain (can't record; gray bars on playback; dv in does not work through firewire; time setting lost). Customer service is still promising to "get back to me." I realize that electronics may fail and there may be specific lemons. But I'm shocked by the complete lack of responsiveness. I've been clear, patient, and understanding, but this has become truly absurd. Bottom line: If you don't want a Kafka-esque runaround, don't buy Samsung's camcorder. I've had great experience with their monitors, but after this, I don't think I'll ever buy a Samsung product again. Caveat emptor.

Summary: Solid, super-lightweight, great value! Very impressive.
Review: I ordered this video camera because I wanted the Firewire capability without paying extra for high-end image stills (for which I already have a Kodak Digital Camera). With a new baby on the way I wanted something inexpensive and reliable, and so far this camera has delivered on every front. Don't expect much more than an easy-to-use MiniDV camcorder with Firewire transfer and reasonable optical zoom, but if that's what you're in the market for, you've found it. On another reviewer's recommendation I added the Pinnacle Studio DV Firewire card/software bundle and I couldn't be more satisfied with what I paid. Only thing keeping me from rating it 5 stars is that I haven't had it long enough to really know how well it stands up to the test of time.

Summary: the best deal
Review: I just love shopping at Amazon because they are very good in delivering the order very promptly. I think this is the best thing anyone can get with this amount of money. I got this 10 days ago. You won't regret this purchase. If you want to find out how things work, just plug in the camcorder and watch the demo. It is so cool!!! The picture quality is fantastic. The functions are simple enough that anyone can execute the tasks. It's light and fits right into one's hand. A good grip. The viewfinder is nice too. Good job Samsung

Summary: Simple yet great quality
Review: ...I bought [the] Samsung... it has great design, small, light, not many confusing buttons, so it is very simple to use. At the same time, it has many special effect choices if you want to edit. video & sound quality is great. Also, it has x22 optical zoom unlike ...JVC or Panasonic models, which offer only x10 optical zoom. It make a whole lot of difference. The "Easy Q" & "Custom Q" buttons make setting the recording options so easy. Just press "Easy Q" button, then anyone can record video w/o any problem. It just chooses the best setting by itself. If you are looking for a separate storage for pictures & USB connection & remote on top of this model, you should look for SCD-77 model. ... Simply it is best at what it should do - taking great quality videos & playing them. I highly recommend them.

Summary: Just what I need!!!
Review: After researching for months I found this great machine. It is easy to use and a awesome price. Why bother with features you will never use, I already own a great digital camera (Canon Powershot S100)and basically wanted a camcorder for video. If your looking for a great looking cam at a good price search no more Samsung is the way to go. Great job Samsung!!!!!
