Even to use. Eats through batteries.
Very tractable to set up and use but I feel like I'm replacing the batteries a lot more frequently than I had anticipated, and I'm not using for a song $1 store batteries either.

Unsound Video
The Flick is a wonderful camera -- easy to use, extremely portable with gain-looking video. The big problem is shaky video. It's impossible to agree to the camera still for more than a few seconds. I've solved the problem with a pocket-sized gizmo called the readysteady. I got it online.

Lightweight, Indestructible, VERY easy to operate, vivid pictures
The camera is what to be expected, believable quality for the price. We took it snorkeling on two seperate occasions once in the Carribean and once off the coastline of Mexico and also to a waterpark using the underwater case that is available to foothold. I love that it easily holds 2 hours of video, pretty well-mannered quality, I love that it so easy to connect to your computer. We have had it for a long time and still have not untouched the batteries, which is amazing!

Its a great camera for younger kids and youth who like capturing video. We use the Flip Video software and catch frame-by-frame photos from the videos once we download them to our computers, which is a clever feature; however, the quality for these captured photos are not the same as you would get from a nice digital camera but still, genuinely good. I think its a great price & good value!

An utterly acceptable entry-level camcorder
I bought this from newegg for $99 gain $5 shipping. I have seen mixed review comments but pronounced to give it a try anyway, the price was too good to pass on.

It turned out to be a fairly acceptable SD camcorder. Speech quality is actually quite good, video quality is not the most adroitly among its category but quite acceptable to me. Its video quality is comparable to some prehistoric digital camcorders (digital 8/mini-DV) and actually slightly better than my Sony old Hi-8 camcorder (CCD TRV65) that outlay my 8 times as much 12 years ago and weight 4 times as much. Low light carrying-on is also acceptable but fairly limited.

Optical zoom is pretty admissible although you will want a tripod when it approaches the end of range. Sometimes camera has trouble hunting for pinpoint near far end of zoom range.

Picture quality is pathetic, low-candle performance is even worse. It is cellphone quality. Not a cellphone like iPhone, but those emancipate phone cellphone company gives you when you signed up for 2 years squeeze. You just can't get a quality 2M picture with 680K CCD.

Overall the camcorder is relatively user friendly. A simple point and shoot and share camcorder. I will use it to throw family/kids video and share them with grandparents over internet so I would select lower bitrate over higher video quality.

Pixel light ratio for widescreen video are not set properly by this camcorder. As a result when you show them back in a computer the video will be squeezed horizontally. You can either set the aspect ratio manually in your media jock (16x9) or use software tool like Yamb to fix the pixel angle ratio. I hope Samsung can release a firmware update to discourse this issue.

Marvy Camcorder!
This camcorder has bonzer video and audio quality. The Smart Record feature is a God-send for bush-leaguer videographers! There are 2 drawbacks: 1) the videos take up a lot of disc space and 2) video playback drains my laptop's recall, which causes audio "hiccups". Fortunately, when you upload a video to YouTube, the audio "hiccups" are not there. Righteous make sure to delete videos that you don't want to use and use a disc defragger (e.g., Auslogics) to unfragment your computer files after video editing. High-minded camcorder for the price. I'm sticking with this one!

Starter camera that's serenely to use but not high definition
We took this camera on vacation twice and the superlative feature was that it was inexpensive enough that I felt perfectly comfortable letting my 8-year old son take over it for shooting vacation videos of well-thought-out quality. However, the definition of the pictures were not crisp or clear enough that I would want to humour this my go-to camera for high quality videos of truly valuable recordings that I conviction to keep for a lifetime.

So while the camera is easy to use and handle and small enough to make it a secure travel camera, the trade off for price is the quality of the video.

Once a good starter camera or travel camera that the entire m can use.

did not industry as advertised
Discalimer: I purchased this camcorder at an electronics department store, not through Amazon. I also purchased a class 4 Sandisk 8GB SDHC card. I kept getting a "be open error" message, and the memory card format feature spoiled every time. I talked to Samsung's customer support, and they claimed the uncontrollable was a defective memory card. The representative said that the card I purchased was full fine for this camcorder. Long story short, an associate at the electronics inventory helped me conduct a number of trials using 3 models of this camcorder, 3 recollection cards, and 2 other brands of cameras. The result was that this camcorder does not shore up the class 4 Sandisk 8GB SDHC. We could only get it to work with a class 2 4GB in the offing. That's not enough storage space for me, so I returned it and purchased another model.

OK (when it worked)......
I bought this camera from Most beneficent Buy in May, 2009. This July, 2010, the camera has been deemed an expensive records weight. After approx. 1 year of occasional use, the LCD display spoiled. I mean it just up and quit working. The camera would turn on and / normally, but that's completely useless as you have no way of knowing what you're recording and no way of adjusting settings. So, I resting on with the Canon support people to send it in to their offices to have the problem checked out. Their findings (whatever they were) were prospering to cost me $187.00 to fix. Now, I know this camera was out of warranty by only 2-3 months, but plunging $200.00 on a $400.00 camera was hard to swallow so I refused the patch. It's also irritating to know that to diagnose the problem, they must have got it working, and then when I refused the repair, they flat it again and sent it back. I understand warranties and that the line has to be drawn somewhere, but as a company, I'd be flustered that a main component of one of my products quit after only one year. The camera was never very pliant to use, picture quality was so-so, and dealing with those .MOD files was horrifying. I subsequntly purchased a discredit that I was strongly advised to purchase in the first place - Panasonic.

NO VIDEOS FOR 1.5 GHZ PC G4 MACS
I bought the FS200 beam memory camcorder, because it was not expensive plus making all kinds of promises( I did not exigency a video maker at the moment but I had enough money to make a purchase). I have other Canon cameras and they have worked very well so I ddid not over I would have any problems with the FAS200. Well I did learn something "don't judge a book by its coverup." I have three MAC computers and one PC (I got this because I wanted a Golf program that ran only on PCs) So the FS200 took exquisite photo's- good enough for my purposes. When I tried it on videos, it went through the procedures of capturing the essence and worked well on the playback on the camcorder. When I went on to make videos I got a dialog box that said that I could not use iMovie because quickTime could not parse the images. I called the consumer service line and a techy worked with me for 1 hour 1/2 and said that i could do this on a PC. I called another Canon Compute and the agent was rather smug and said that I had a 1.5 GHZ power PC G4 OSX 10.4.11 and had to upgrade to set up it work. If I had this information when I was ordering the FS200 I would not have bought it. So much for Canon's buyer service program it works only after you pay up.

Impracticable
This camera is Ineffective. I'm not sure where to begin with the six month odyssey I have been through with this THING.

First of all it not even mine. I bought it for my son for Christmas.

Seems to m great, as far as shooting and all goes. Problem is can't get the video off it on to any of our computers. My son has my old G4. What the heck, doesn't occupation on that. Its a bit disappointing, but I get it. Its an old computer.

So I figure we can download his videos onto my computer, another mac but with dual core intel Processor, 2.66 and 4GB of ram... Not So. engender I had Tiger OS 10.4- according to Canon Tech Support - My computer wouldn't reward the camera. Live and learn.

A few months pass, My son's used the camera for stills which download rightful fine. But it is a Video Camera. It'd be nice if he could use it as such. So I called tech tolerate again just to make sure I understood just what we had to do. They said all I had to do was update iMovie HD to iMovie 08 OR 09- That of obviously meant updating my OS to at least Leopard.

Snow Leopard was on sale, so I got that. Not that I needed a new OS but if it could get the kids camera up and runnin, why not. A new OS is always fun. 129 bucks later, we are when all is said ready to check out what this baby can do.

Nothing. It does nothing. I have been back and forth with Canon Tech aid for days, and hours, done everything they have suggested. Initialize this, Download that, Copy this here, download there. Unhook everything from your computer. Re boot.

I know I might sound like I am whining. But I have several other camera's, from still (nikon D200) to video (Sony HD) ,even a flick camera or two. None of these camera's have any problem communicating with this or any other computer in this house, regardless of their OS.

After doing everything that tech brace asked over the course of a week, I asked them to either replace the camera or give me a refund ground obviously nothing we were doing was going to work.

And here is my real complaint. It's at this remind emphasize that I felt I was sold a lemon by a shifty used car salesman. They refused to receive that there might be something wrong with their product and we went through a painful rebuke of all my equipment and software, which I had to refute not consonant with by step and piece by piece. Gig by Gig. One tech guy even suggested I get a PC.

I have everything required to for this obsession to work- It just ain't workin'. This camera is a dud- wether they are all like this or it simply this one- I don't know. This camera is not recognized By iMovie 09 and painfully wearisome to download even just to the desk top.

Whatever this camera is, if you can't get the videos on to your computer, its useless.

Praisefully recommended for amateur photographers
I would like to subscribe to this camera for all amateur or professional photographers. I have a similar camera to this one and I have no problems with it. The substantial screen is pretty awesome!!! I have been using these cameras for Pay homage to/worship services, they do a great job serving its purpose. Clear pictures is what you extremely want and the still photos are also very good. If you get the battery that holds 248-250 minutes you have made the vindicate choice. You can easily set your camera at the LP mode and many times you will get an hour of recording as an alternative of 30 minutes. When I purchased this camera there were many negative reviews about this camera, but so far I have all the encomium for this camera. Great camera to put inside your pockets without having to put into a lawsuit. Will enjoy this camera for many years to come.

Me no speaka the terminology!
Bought this camcorder for my helpmeet to use primarily. We have a new baby so I wanted something easy to use and that would provide quality recording. Not disillusioned there. The only problem was the initial use was at other daughter's sweet sixteen birthday social gathering. Since my wife had not taken it out of the box yet I was hurriedly trying to get it set up to film the festivities. Unfortunatley, the fail language setting was Spanish!! The instructions in the manual were faulty so it took about thirty minutes of trial and error button pushing to get the settings to English. Besides that small problem this camcorder is muy bueno!

fs300 - at best right!
First let me observe on the Amazon services. We first started out ordering a Kodak zi8, a really spruce up shirt pocket camcorder. Our first attempt to load it into our computer was a bust. Amazon said "send it back, we'll send a new one".....same results fatiguing to load using the Kodak ARCSOFT MEDIAIMPRESSIONS software. Very inconsequential support advice from Kodak, and non-existent from ARCSOFT. So, not to give up we did a little inspection and came up with the FS-300 Canon. It has been fun, and no problem with the software....thanks Canon, we're not the most savvy computer users, (age 74 dinosaurs). Would now like to go-ahead a few comments about our FS-300 that I hope will be useful to others. First, the instruction book and computer info is very brief, needs to be more info for varying situations. Second, I find the camera compliant to start and stop, but getting to the features is a little complicated, so its not as fundamental as some people might indicate, especially for a novice. Third, let me suggest a monopod for as a matter of fact steady recording, the camera is so small that this great little walking staff isn't bothered at all by the FS-300 perching atop it. Again, let me compliment Amazon for there Astonishing customer service.....great AMERICAN company. Very respectfully, Ralph Concierge, CPO, USN,Ret.

Crucial For Home Movies
I got this camcorder to restore an outdated compact VHS comcorder I've had for about 7 years. I needed this to record profoundly movies, talent shows, vacations, etc. I was worried about image stabilizing and low limber situations. I look at customer web reviews and always look into Consumer Reports reviews any outmoded I buy something I know nothing about. I love it. Technology sure has come a long way. I call to mind a consider the picture is great and the low light situations are better than with a VHS camcorder, so I'm beneficial. The image stabilizing is a must for me because I am horrible at shaking when I'm recording (really... population would joke about motion sickness while watching old videos I made with the camcorder not on a tripod), and it indeed helps on this camcorder. I'm very happy with the purchase. One thing you should know... I asked a salesman about bewitching a photo with it, and he said, "If you want a photo, use a camera." So I never have used it to take a depict.

*****Choice Value*****
Its not acme definition but the video quality is very good for this price.
The Sony DCR-HC52 is well built (well-built), has very nice basic features and easy to use.
Great unless you have the computer horsepower and $$$$ for a (HD) exhilarated definition camcorder
like the Canon VIXIA HF40 (also with fire-wire/ilink, peradventure my next camcorder).
Its auto-focus works well and this camcorder is an excellent impact, not too heavy and not too light.
I use it just fine with an older G4 Macintosh that has a fire-wire mooring.
Imovie recognizes this camera and imports the video for editing undoubtedly and exported DV files work
fine to make DVD's with my Mac's pre-installed iMovie and iDVD applications.
I been to some discouraged by new HD camera reviews from users that mention problems with
the new non fire-wire camcorders with Mac computers above all Sony camcorders.
This it not the case with the Sony DCR-HC52 made in 2008........
You can find the Sony DCR-HC52 now (May 2010) for less than $250.00 new.

*****RECOMMENDED*****
