Not what I expected.......2007-09-05
I brought this camera for our family holiday in August 07. When trying to record in the evening when it was quite humid the camera cut out several times even when there was full battery and got very hot to touch. Tried to format discs on holiday and the camera would not do this therefore I missed out on many memories on holiday. Even when I returned home to record a birthday party, I tried to format another disc and the camera kept saying disc error. I have returned the camera and had a full refund. Apart from my problems the camera was good to use when it worked, but I think I will be opting for a different model.
Brilliant value dvd camcorder!!!.......2007-03-09
Having looked through all sorts of reviews since Christmas I took my courage in both hands and ordered a SamsungVP-DC163/XEU.I had owned a couple of Samsungs(hi8)before but the hassle of transferring tape to dvd
had put me off!It took only 3 days for Amazon to get it to me and I am delighted with the camcorder. Colours are good both in daylight and indoors in artificial or low light conditions, images are sharp and focus is only a bit iffy in very low light(so I used the manual focus instead).
The instruction booklet is easy to understand. The position of the control buttons on the camera are logical and easy to operate. Battery life seems a bit short but probably because I used the screen rather than viewfinder so I've ordered a longer life battery.All in all I can't wait for my next holiday to really explore the possibilities of this Samsung!

This camcorder will drive you crazy.......2007-11-10
Nothing but problems trying to transfer to my computer. Had many problems with the discs and lost data. Picture quality is good but transfering is a real pain.
Buy a hard disc camcorder.

I didn't want to buy Sony, but..........2007-05-06
Well, I didn't want to buy another Sony Handycam, but there's very few alternatives to choose from. I made my choice at short notice and without doing any research in store - the worst possible place, but I've ended up with a great quality camcorder. It's simple to use and produces great quality images, but best of all it's not using a Sony propriety format, it uses the industry standard miniDV format.
I'm still getting to grips with all it has to offer, but so far have been more than impressed and with two children now I have twice the excuse to get the camcorder out! My main gripe would be that the supplied software isn't particularly impressive (mainly a browser) and so you'll need to invest in some software for your video editing needs - Sony Vegas seems quite good, but again it's early days for me.
