Summary: Started Malfunctioning after only 3 months
Review: Had it 3 months and am now having all kinds of problems with interference showing up on screen during playback and recording. Tried a head cleaning tape with no success. Sorry I ever bought it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet Deal
Review: I bought one of these cameras and it works great for me, with well over "30 minutes" of recording time with the LCD screen on, as that one guy stated. I love it, and especially for the price, it was well worth it to buy it. It has always worked great for me and I've owned it for more than a year now. With a deal like this, why buy a more expensive camcorder with the same functions?

Summary: Great Camcorder!
Review: I bought this camera as soon as we found out my wife was pregnant. We got it @ Target and have loved it. Especially for the price. The zoom is good -- 22x optical. I am not sure what the other reviewer is talking about with the cheap buttons-- the whole thing feels real high quality. I dropped it on cement once and it didn't do anything except scratch it. My wife likes the effects (negative, sepia, mirror, etc.) We have had the camera for 18 months and have had no problems with it at all. The battery actually lasts along time even when I use the flip out lcd screen. However with the spotlight on it does drain it about twice as fast. If you need a good reliable camera but don't want to plunk down big dollars, this is a great choice. My only complaint is the fade in/out button is under the flip out lcd screen, so if you want to fade you have to open the flip, a small annoyance. But all in all a great camera that has worked flawlessly since I bought it.

Summary: Good camera for the price
Review: I have bought a refurbished SCL810.

For the price you pay, you get a very good product. Value for money, I would say. I was also considering SONY products, but they cost atleat a 100 bucks more for similar features.

What I liked about the camcorder was that the decent picture quality in poor lighting.

I have recommended this camera to one of my friends and even he picked up one piece.

Do not buy this camcorder, if you want to use it exhaustively. Because it lacks many features that a $600 camcorder does not offer, like still shots.

The specs erroniously mentions that this is a dual system camcorder (NTSC and PAL). What they offer is a PAL 60 system compatiability, which I do not think is what is generally followed in countries like India.

Good: Good picture quality. Very cheap Hi8 camcorder. Good built quality (you can feel the sturdy construction). Good battery life.

Cons: No high end features like Still camera functions. No standard PAL system compatiability.

Summary: Worst Camera Ever!!!!
Review: I have used my camcorder about 5 times, on my 7 month old's 1st trip to Disneyland I went to change the tape at the end of recording, and put a new tape in. After changing the tape, the camera would no longer play nor record. Of course I was just out of the 1 year limited warranty, and now it will cost almost as much to fix the camera as it would to buy a whole new one. It has never been dropped, nor mistreated. It just stopped recording or playing for no reason at all. What a waste of money.

Summary: I really like it!!
Review: I just recieved this little camcorder for a Xmas gift and I love it!! Its easy to use and fun too!! The size is perfect-the color and clarity are good too!! I would recommend this product to all!! No complaints! :0)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You get what you pay for!
Review: I may only be 15, but I know quality. Over all this camera has some good points, I must admit. The zoom on this camera is phenominal and it charges quickly.
This camcorder, though, only lasts about 30 minutes, so it is hard to do any filming. The digital effects- simple, the quality of the product- Okay. I think that for the price you pay, it's an overall decsent camcorder.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!
Review: I received this camera as a Christmas gift -- it never worked!! The tape wouldn't go in -- I kept getting a C-EMG error. Even my brother-in-law, an experienced camcorder user, was unable to get it to work. Piece of junk!! I'll never buy Samsung again.
