My mistake in thinking a MiniDV Camcorder used MiniDV TAPE to record on.

After discovering my mistake, I packed it up to ship back without trying it. Now I’ll wait for Amazon to credit my card. I did ship it at my expense as I thought Amazon had done their part in a fast excellent manner so I did’nt think they should pay to return my goof !

I got this camcorder for my daughter in law for Christmas. She popped a DVD in and immediately was recording. Good quality and very easy to use.Samsung SC-DC173U DVD Camcorder with 34x Optical Zoom

I just bought this camere form Circuscity for $171, and found out that it kind of mis lead with a Still botton, this camera only take low quality still picture and record it in the tape not SD card.
I think it is ok because most Camdorder are not taking good still picture any way.
I was always go for canon, but this time I try the Samsung, I hope the Koraen co are as good as Canon. The price is good,

A longtime Samsung supporter, I had high hopes and was hopeful that for $300 (at the time) this would be my light use, family event camcorder for the next 5-7 years. NO CHANCE. this camera stopped working suddenly and without warning after only 3 months and perhaps 3 total hours of use (how convenient that Samsung’s warranty expires at exactly 3/months!) After contacting Customer Service, I was informed that I could send the camera to their service center in New Jersey where it would be repaired and returned for the flat fee of $161.15. Two downsides for me are (1) The camera is now $190 (+/-) brand new, and, (2) The warranty on repairs is only for a whopping 30 days. New plan, grab some small screwdrivers and start tinkering, meanwhile I’m here to pick up a new Sony, Cannon, or Panasonic and strongly advise anyone reading this review or considering this camera to quickly DO THE SAME!

Lots of settings. Poor video quality. I did side by side comparison of video clips of the same scene. My Canon Powershot A570 digital camera takes much better video clips than this Camcorder. Keep looking.
