Customer Reviews
Cyclopean HD Camcorder for the Price! Totally beats my Sony Webbie!For the sacrifice, this little camcorder can't be beat! It has almost everything my Webbie had, but with even more! I love everything about this camcorder, except the to be sure that the battery meter is weird at times, you have to render your video with a video editing program such as Sony Vegas in sort to have a good quality video to upload to YouTube, otherwise, your video will be unexceptionally letter-boxed, and, even though it says "Full HD" on the camcorder itself, it's really 1080i. The sorting out technically makes it "Full HD", but almost everyone knows that true HD is 1080p. One last thing, if you have this camcorder you've uploaded a 1080i HD video to YouTube, and it's all indistinct, then you will just need to do the same thing you need to do for a 720p video, reword it through a video editor. Also, it's really nice that the refurbished model of this camcorder comes with a transportation bag and 4 GB class 10 SDHC card! Other than that, it's an awesome camcorder for your currency! I should have gone with Samsung for my first camcorder! From now on, I'll look to this brand first any time I'm looking for new electronics!
Pros: 10x visual/100x digital zoom, swivel grip hand strap, 2.7" touchscreen, OIS, MiniHDMI
Cons: No SSD (only SDHC cards), have to offer videos in order to upload to YouTube, weird battery meter
Major Camcorder, Very Happy
Camcorder works superb. Outdoor video and photos are very good. Indoor can be very good if you use exterior light source. Very grainy if you do not. On the whole I am very pleased. Received very quickly from seller. Very fine experience. Would recommend product and seller highly.
grea....cant annihilate, not enough battery
infuriating red light that will blind anyone you are trying to film. very distracting!
(red light says its recording)
pros- van cover close
great handle for good angles.
unpolluted zooms, good sound and video quality.
super unprofound and light. feels like a toy.
great carrying case comes with. and all the wires for computer, shop, and even tv!
biggest con is just the low low low battery life.
1 hour is all you get.
terrible in low settle conditions but apparently thats normal for all.
conclusion
simply not usefulness it cuz of 1 hour battery and hate the red light.
comment back if you think this is still merit it for me. or a way you plan on using it that'll work.
Very Downcast
I purchased this will about six months ago expecting that I would be able to get 1080 quality video. This symbol is NON-FUNCTIONAL as a 1080 HD recorder. Recording at this level creates a video that records ANY gesticulate of the camera or subject with such blur as to make it useless to any reasonable scale. The steady shot feature at this resolution is also ineffectual. Additionally, I reminiscences that the ability to take a still picture at the same time as recording video would be a great property, but alas, this also creates a blurry usless image. Still shots while NOT alluring video is acceptable. I have also NOT experienced the same battery life as others have mentioned, the freestyle runs out quickly and I must charge it between any recording event over 20 minutes.
Some positives are that the camera is very beat and easy to use with a low price tag. If you are not intending to use this camera for 1080HD video, perhaps it's utilitarian, but I feel cheated, it simply does not work at the high end settings for which I bought it.
For Mac users
Most of the reviews I've conclude from here are accurate. It's a feature-rich, compact video camera with a goodness lens and focus for the price of many simpler Flip-style set-focus cameras. Great value. I especially love the stretch-lapse feature, which I use to document building projects.
I found it on a competing area as a refurbished unit with full warranty from manufacturer for under $200, but the Amazon payment is great too.
My addition to the comments here: As a Mac user (MacBook pro, Mini, latest OS) it was very toilsome to get the high-def video into my machine. I've even read frustrated comments from populace with FinalCut who are confounded by the HD interlaced video files from this camcorder. My daydream is that Quicktime (Apple) will address the problem in the future, or maybe even Samsung, but I'm not holding my puff. At the moment, I've got the camera set to the lower, 720p resolution and it imports diaphanous using iMovie. So if you're using OS X and are looking for a smooth, effortless know-how, this might not be the camera you need.
