..... Anyway, took this camera .... on a Disney cruise and impressed by the ease of use, wicked optical zoom, and awesome battery life (used the camera for 4 days (even for playback to watch the 30minute tape twice) and still able to video tape with no recharge.The things I did not like about the camera are: 1) placement of fade button, and fact that I have to hold the fade, then stop recording (old Minolta 8mm used to fade when I stopped recording if fade on). Fade button only accessible with screen open, so if taping using eyepiece in bright outdoor light, then have to open screen (shaking camera of course) to get to fade. 2) Either have to display date on tape all the time, or not record it on tape at all. Old camera used to have auto date time option that displayed the date and time for about 5 seconds on first recording of the day, and wouldn't display it again until day changed. Not so with this as far as I can figure. 3) Eyepiece view kind of small. Have to use this in really bright sun when you can't see the LCD screen. This is discontinued and you can get it now for $$$ if you can find it. I'm going to purchase the SCL-860 because it is same camera but newer version with image stabilization, photo mode, and remote control for $$$ ....

This camera semed ok at first... but less than a month after I bought it, the eyepiece viewfinder broke and only displayed a white screen. In bright light (like outside) the entire screen is unfocused and a light object being filmed ends up looking like you filmed the sun, it does not filter the light very well. The battery lasts for about and hour and fifteen minutes when the viewfinder is open; this is not so great when you are out and about and cannot re-charge. This camcorder is the lower class model for Samsung, overall I thought it to be cheap and a waste of money. For only a few dollars more you could get a reliable Sony. The camera did have a few pros though, the mirror, negative, mosaic and art effects on the DSE button were fun, but not worth the hassle the camera gives overall. My advice: DON'T buy IT!
