Camcorder Reviews

I purchased this camcorder 8 months ago, 2 months ago I experienced snow flake effect when recording, I called Samsung to repair it they referred me to a local dealer the dealer was not able to fix it so I called Samsung again they asked me to ship it to NJ, for repair so I did, with charge for service repair and the cost of shipping I accrued from a lack of qualified Service centers locally. They have been holding my camcorder for one and half months. I have called them several times and even talked to the manager but I can not get a answer as to when I will get it back or other wise.

Product is defective right out of the box. Now I have to ship it to Samsung's service department to fix it. Poor quality control.

I got this Camcorder in Jan. of 2003. I use it all the time. I make music videos and short movies for leisure and they turn out great. I haven't had any problems. It works great on the computer too. Some of the reasons I got this camcorder was that it was cheap for some features like external Mic Jack and audio dubbing.

I can't say much. I couldn't afford anything high tech so i got this and i loved what i got. It was compatible with editing software too.

I really like this camcorder- it has a high quality picture with the hi8, the digital still option, and the 22x optical zoom. All signs of quality I was looking for when I was researching this purchase. I haven't had any problems -and for a Hi8 camcorder, I couldn't beat the price.

I really wondered about this. Samsung itcam-7 and panasonic sv-av100 which codec these camcorders use? so many codecs are realised day by day. Xvid,divx,mpeg2... so many. Can ý upgrade firmware of these machines?
