Samsung VP-D361 digital camcorder

Advantages: it is easy to use for the beginner if you want to film all your cherished moments.
Disadvantages: the battery life is short when using the lcd screen.

...as well as film which i like. Saves you having to take 2 camers out with you. It comes with a lithium battery, a power pack, ac cord, multi cable and instruction booklet, software cd, usb cable, lense cover. I just wish that it came with a camera case and a film. We bought a pack of 5 films which cost me £20 and I bought a cheap camera case which was £1 in Asda. We did purchase a further battery as this does lose charge fairly quick when using the lcd screen. I would recommend this camera to anyone as it is very easy to use as the picture quality is just as good indoors as outdoors....

Review of Samsung VP D361

  Sold on the spur of the moment!

Advantages: Price, "Easy Q" Feature, Advanced Technology, Viewfinder Focus
Disadvantages: Complex Menu and Manual, Time consuming Set-up

...Decision; Having recently brought a Digital Camera I thought it was about time to upgrade to a Camcorder as well. About three months ago I was traveling past my local Argos store and as normal I stopped to take a look at the special offer posters in the window. I noticed a large poster advertising this camera for £179, 99, I thought "wow" what a great price for large branded company like Samsung and with this in mind I entered the store to investigate further. After checking the price was the same with the product in the catalogue I notice that it also came with a free gift, a Samsung Camcorder Accessory Kit worth £39, 99 which includes a Carry Case, spare battery and a sixty minute DVC Tape. I was sold and on the spur of the moment I immediately brought the camcorder! Samsung Camcorder (VP-D361...

Samsung VP D381 - Simple On The Surface

Advantages: Good for everyday use, simple & small.
Disadvantages: Tapes only, needs firewire.

...was no Firewire port. This was annoying, and I started to wonder why Samsung had made it so difficult to transfer your video, unless it was to persuade you to go for the memory card models with USB transfer instead. I decided to worry about it at another time, and set it aside. But then, I decided to get a MacBook, and what should be found sitting along the side, but a firewire port. I should say that on the latest MacBook generation the port has been removed, mine is the white one. So I plugged it in, and lo and behold, iMovie pops up, and lets me transfer everything on the tape, whilst separating it into the separate recordings, with the click of a button. So basically, Apple solves yet another problem, and I can now edit those videos of my family eating Xmas dinner and my dogs malling each other, yay! I would say that this is...

DVD Camcorder Samsung VP-DC163

Advantages: Great quality and functionality, all round good buy.
Disadvantages: Costly to buy and also costly for the discs.

...----------------------------------------------- DVD Camcorder Samsung VP-DC163 ----------------------------------------------- Where to start, there is so much that I need to put into this review. Well let?s start about how I came around to getting this product. Well because I like all of the technology nowadays I seem to find that I like to keep up with the latest things so when I realised that I would have to resort to using my JVC camcorder that I purchased some ten years ago I decided that I was in desperate need of a new one. I spent a few weeks doing some research on the internet and I am to the conclusion after much thought that this would be the one for me. The only problem was that I hadn?t actually looked where I could purchase one from, so off I went again looking for this camera in every single source that I could...

Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

...'t worry about getting surroundings in, this can be trimmed later). Then use the zoom (+ button at the top rigth) to zoom into the desired area with surprising definition and trim! Ace. Oh and another thing, recharging this camera is lemon-squeezy, since you just plug it in via the USB/ mains charger. Battery life is great and apparently outsmarts AAA battery cameras hands down (I have only had to charge my camera a few times since I got it). Please have a butchers at this website to see the specs I promised: http://www.cameras.co.uk/specs/samsung-es55.cfm Ok, I think I got everything. I did write a longer review but argh pressed the back button! If I think of anything else, I'll add it on later! Extras: Child mode to enable quick pictures (e.g. children/ pets who are always scrambling out of shot!); Fast shutter speed and flash charge....

Review of Samsung ES55

VP-D351 cheap, but insubstantial

Advantages: Inexpensive, light
Disadvantages: won''t stand up to hard wear and tear

...The VP-D351 is a basic no-frills camcorder of lightweight construction, read 'plasticy' In it's favour it uses inexpensive mini-DV tapes, which I consider to be preferable to DVD media, but connectivity is limited to Firewire (not all computers support this) and it doesn't come with a remote a remote control. (I tried one from another model and found it doesn't 'see' it) I have owned a couple of other Samsung camcorders in the past - both bought off ebay as 'spares or repair (note to self - they don't seem especially robust) I was, however, able to get them working after an hour or so effort without buying spares. Having been reasonably assured by this I bought my latest Samsung camcorder in a similar state - but discovered that the ribbon cable for the display was broken. Whilst I'm pretty handy with a watchmakers screwdriver...

SAMSUNG CAMCORDER RUBBISH DO NOT BUY VP-DC161

Advantages: NON
Disadvantages: Spent £350 for only 1 hour of footage

...Completely useless and Samsung far less than helpful when things Go wrong as were PC world not interested in either replacing or repairing mine even though I was told it had a two year guaruntee! The camera lasted for one and a half hours of recording and now does not work at all. Could not even finalise the disc that was in it when it packed up lost valuable footage of baby daughter. Bought another off e-bay if only to finalise the disc but it had the same fault only backlight came on and Nothing else at all! DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG VP-DC161 I have wasted over £350 to date and have now decided to write to the BBC Watchdog program as feel sure hundreds of people have bought this duff product from Samsung and it is high time they owned up to making a dud and provided replacement of refund....

Review of Samsung VP DC161

Samsung an average camcorder

Advantages: Compact, convienient and fantastic picture quality
Disadvantages: Unreliable and poor customer service.

...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...

Review of Samsung VP MX20

Samsung U600 - poor battery life

Advantages: Very stylish and easy to use
Disadvantages: poor battery life!

...I have mixed thoughts over this phone, I have had mine for nearly 18 months now and won't be having another one. It has a lot of excellent features on the phone but has some glitches. The first thing I noticed is that the battery life was really poor, I had to charge mine up every day and half to two days, which would be fine if I had been using it a bit, but I hadn't. With other phones I have had I used to be able to get three days of life out of it. I have found myself going away for a weekend and having my phone die on me at some point. The camera is also one of the difficulties with the phone, it does produce great pictures but it takes three to four seconds to actually take the photo, which means sometimes missing the moment you are trying to catch. I have also had issues with the touch sensitive buttons on the screen...

Review of Samsung SGH U600 Ultra Edition 10.9

Great camcorder by Samsung

Advantages: Compact/light-weight, good range of features
Disadvantages: Many competitors

..., white balance and focus. The camcorders built-in microphone provides a standard stereo quality and also has a wind noise reduction ability, which by the name you can guess it takes away most of the noise created by wind. Within the box you get an A/V (audio/video) cable to allow connections to external audio/video devices such as televisions or computer screens. You obviously get a charging cable as well as the required software. There is also an included lens cap and an included battery. You can buy the Samsung VP DC171W for £139.99, from various online shops or you could opt to physically visit a shop and try to get a bargain. You will also always have the option of Ebay, where you may find a great deal. Most online shops will be selling this very camcorder for over £140, avoid these shops and go for the ones selling for £140...
