Samsung SC-D6040 DuoCam

 

With good quality on both video and still-image tests, the powerful Samsung SC-D6040 is a keeper.

True hybrid design, with separate CCDs and lenses for video and stills, allows 4MP still capture. Built-in flash. Good video and still-image captures. Accepts multiple media card types. Extensive feature set.

Some may find it bulky and awkward to hold. Bottom-loading design doesn't work well with tripods. EVF eyepiece doesn't pivot. No accessory shoes.

Not that great! ”

Do Not Waste Your Money!!!

Samsung SC-DX 103 680 Pixel DVD Camcorder ”

 

We have had several DVD camcorders over the years and they just really don't seem to last no matter how much we spend so we have decided that we are only going to get in-expensive ones from now on.
