best camcorder in its class
Created: 15/05/06
I think Samsung had done it again. Great quality product at a low price. Please be reminded that the mini USB cord is not for downloading video file although you can do it. Many other brands do not have this funtion! You can capture picture on the mini dv tapes!! I have not found another that can.
Please use it in moderately lit area. Study lamp is good enough. If you are thinking about shooting it using TV emitted light, forget it.
Its a great camcorder but please advice that you would need to buy a firewire cable for video image transfer. It does not include as a standard. None of the camcorders in the market include them as standard anyway.
Included software is Ulead video editor! costly software! I saw the canon camcorder and the software included sucks.
If u need to just record an event and play it back in VCD quality, its a great camcorder. If you want more, I suggest you go for the bulky pro-camcorder. Anything inbetween seems to be just fooling around anyway.
Only downside, need memory stick. If it were SD card, would be great! If I could get a 2nd with memroy stick included even if its 512 mb its great as only mpeg4 movie can be recorded.

Samsung SC-D353 MINI DV CAMCORDER / DIGITAL CAMERA
Created: 13/01/08
This is a great video camcorder that works well. The 353 has a memory stick slot so you can take digital still pics. You can also save them on your mini dv tape. Fairly cheap but gets the job done. SC-D353 HAS A INTERNAL MIC INPUT ,USB, FIREWIRE INPUTS ALSO. The camcorder does not have the nite pix feature that the 453 has. This is digital and excepts mini dv tapes. Very lightweight and easy to use. If you are looking for a inexpensive digital mini dv camcorder with a memory stick acceptable camcorder this will be the one for you.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this camcorder!! It is so easy to use, and takes wonderful videos. My kids can operate this! It's lightweight and compact, making it easy to take anywhere. I love the "backlight" feature that adds light to the picture when you're in lower lit areas.
It has so many options. Plus, you can watch what you've filmed through your vcr {and record it at the same time}, or download it to your computer to edit it before burning it to disc.
The battery lasts a long time, so I was truly impressed with that.
Highly recommended! A GREAT product!! :)

Samsung SC-D353

This is a very feature rich camera that is easy to use. Even though we will probably never take the time to learn to use all it's features, for a moderately priced movie camera, it's great. One word of caution, to avoid disappointment, be sure you disconnect the battery after using.
