Well it looks very nice and as with all Samsung products it seems to list a heap of fancy features that are on the leading edge of technology.

Reliability: I have had this camcorder for almost 6 months and am sorry to say that it has just been sent for repair for the second time due to a manufacturing fault (The LCD screen died). So I am going to say not very reliable at all but this is to be expected with leading edge technology I guess.

Ease of use: At first not very. I am quite good generally with electronics but found this confusing and had to sit and read through the manual before I could use this.

Sound Quality: 7/10 not fantastic but acceptable if you are a reasonable distance from the camera.

Features: Many fancy ones - most of which I probably wont use and missing some of the basic ones that I would look for in a camcorder such as the ability to take a still image or night vision. However to its advantage the unit is compact and the plug and play features were fast and easy to use.

Picture Quality: This camera's one redeeming feature - the picture quality is 15/10 absolutely stunning.

Battery Life: is on par with the industry standard ( I think I got 300 minutes out of it before it needed recharged.

Summary: I expect better from a manufacturer like Samsung
