Conclusion: An Awesome Camera at an awesome price


Review: I got this camera as a gift and was not really even expecting it for christmas. When I got that bad boy out and started filming I was amazed at the picture clarity. It has tons of settings that you can film with: 16:9 widescreen, B&W, etc... has a nice LCD screen and also comes with a viewfinder. I love to use the remote to generate shots that I can include my self in.
Overall: I thinks it is a very nice camera and the price is exceptional.

Review: Let me tell you about the Camcorder. The truth about it. This camcorder is not worth your money. The battery allways dies so quick, and there is no way of this camcorder to be hooked up to the computer! Even if you where to purchase any extra parts. If you are looking for a camera to just hold and claim you have a camera, its a good product to get. But if you really want to use it more then once then i suggest not to get it.

Conclusion: great camera for the money, easy to use, but...


Review: I was very happy to get this camera, and it's a great camera for the price, easy to use, etc. I especially like the "easy" setting which allows you to just point and shoot without having to worry about fussing with settings. Also, the "snapshot" setting is really nice. Only problem I had was when I accidentally dropped it from a height of about 2 feet or so because I was carrying a bunch of other stuff in from the car. Since then, it is eating the tapes! Hopefully this is just a minor adjustment that the warranty will take care of. I wonder if all cameras are this fragile (I suspect they are). That's the only reason I don't give it a "5" rating. Still, I would recommend this camera to anyone who doesn't want to spend $6-900 on the new DVD cameras. Please note that the SCL907 model includes true still-picture function and a USB port and cable and software which allow easy copying of STILL pictures to your computer. The SCL906 doesn't have this, but you can transfer or view your movies from either model via the yellow "video out" cable connection (analog?). Since I already have a digital camera, copying still pictures doesn't matter to me anyway.

Conclusion: Very nice for Hi-8, but go digital.


Review: This Samsung is a very good camera for the price, but somewhat dated. Since there is no USB connection, you can not record DVD's of your images on a computer. Go ahead and get a Samsung Mini DV model and you'll be much more prepared for the future. By the way, these are made in China now rather than Korea.

Conclusion: Great little camera for the price!


Review: If you're just wanting a camcorder and don't want to spend alot of money, this camera is wonderful. The Samsung SCL906 is similar to its advanced counterparts only without the whistles and bells. It still has great features, like special effects (strobe, mirror, negative, etc), digital zoom, lcd screen, zoom, fade, all the goodies. The only problem I have is that it's hard to find a car adapter for it. I've looked all over the internet and all over the stores and can't find one. If you plan on taking a trip with this camera and want ALOT of video, it might just be wiser to purchase a second battery... or a third. :)
