USERS REVIEWS:
I just purchased this camera a couple of days back from Target and could not be happier. I did practically a straight month of analysis on deciding what camcorder to obtain. Critiques after testimonials make me unsure what to obtain. I began with a choice to buy the Canon FS100. Nicely a week later the new model FS200 came out and was more. No thanks.
Then I identified info on this camcorder. It in fact won an award for very best entry degree camcorder. Got to be very good I believed. I researched Samsung camcorders from my ultimate supply of camcorderinfo.com. They rated the common definition SC-MX20 really properly in comparison to camcorders significantly a lot more high-priced. For that reason I took the plunge.
I have utilised the camera for a couple of days now and ran by means of a battery of tests. Very first off in typical daylight or within light the picture is phenomenal for this camcorder. Shots are crisp and clear and the autofocus is swift. Zoom is great as nicely fantastic pace to retain concentrate and the intelli-zoom functions well as well.
As for the anti-shake function, this operates fairly well until finally you hit 8x or much more zoom, then it really is challenging to keep it really constant. All round the F34 was fairly great for a digital (non-optical) anti-shake.
Now on to the low light, the dreaded measure of most camcorders. I can inform you that of all the critiques I have read there is no camcorder below 0 that performs truly effectively in low light. This is the nature of reduced finish camcorders. Who is gonna devote most of their time recording at night anyways!!! For this the reduced light was ok. I went out side at night with just the motion light on and I could see what was illuminated. I turned up the exposure manually and it was even far better. Not too undesirable for a 0 camcorder.
Overall I am really impressed with this camcorder. How can you pass up a Samsung brand item that performs well with 16GB constructed in and a 3 hour battery for 0? It’s a steal compared to JVC and Canon. I would extremely advise.

Consumer assessment from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
Please note that this camera does not shoot in High DEFINITION.
The thought of migrating the storage of camcorder shots to an internal memory was extremely appealing with this camera. It stores up 16GB and there is a slot to add an SD card. Therefore, there is no additional expense in buying an SD card, which is not the case for all camcorders in the very same cost assortment.
What we liked about the camcorder
- extremely light, quite effortless to hold and shoot.
- has a built in lense cap, which is terrific and mades the whole design have a a lot cleaner finish. Also, when you switch the camcorder on, it will tell you when you have not opened the lense cap!
- constructed in 16GB of ram and a slot to add an SD card
- a visible botton on the outdoors that allows you to choose in between utilizing the a) camcorder b) camera c) watch the films stored
- the menu is really user friendly and some of the options we liked contain:
i) grids to assist you frame your shot
ii) concentrate that enables for vehicle focusing, face recognition or manual focusing
iii) simpe scence shot alternatives: sports or portraits
IV) has anti shake selection, which comes in helpful if you are making use of the zoom (also see under for the not so great bits about the zoom).
vi) up load to utube is very simple
v) cuts on wind noise (it performs and reduces the muffle sound)
vii) the program for editing your shot is extremely straightforward, as the intention is to allow you to edit (if any) ahead of loading to utube or send it for pals/household to see. If you are hunting for a far more sophicated finish then you need to have to purchase a separate system.
Maybe it is the value bracket this camcorder falls inside, but we would have liked to see enhancements in the following:
- the zoom attribute is wonderful to a point, but if you program to use it to its full capacity then I would advocate that you use a tripod. Otherwise, the complete shot comes out quite ‘shakened’.
- we noticed that the zoom button was much more sensitive compared with other camcorders in the same cost array, which created it really tough to zoom in and out without having you feeling that you have been travelling by means of the stargate!
- the camcorder and camera alternatives are very best utilised in great lighting. Not advisable for low lighting occasions.
- no flash light.
Sincerely Yours
