SC-DC365 MiniDV Camcorder Highlights

33x optical zoom/1200x digital zoom
The camcorder’s high quality 33x zoom lens lets you get close to the action from a safe distance. And for those ultra long distance shots, the 1200x digital zoom will let you see it all in perfect detail.

2.7-inch wide LCD (230K)
The 2.7-inch wide LCD enables you to catch more of the action compared to viewing from 2.5-inch" LCD using a 4:3 screen format. The 2.7-inch wide LCD display matches the 16:9 aspect ratio of your HDTV, so you can record and playback what you see.

4-in-1 Multi Memory Card slot
The versatile 4-in-1 multi memory card slot offers you the option of Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, SD card or MMC. Use your existing cards or choose the type and size of memory card that best suits your needs.

MPEG4 (720 x 480/30 fps),br> MPEG4 provides enhanced video image quality and maximizes the amount of video you can record. In addition, MPEG4 even lets you quickly and easily share video clips via email.

Digital Image Stabilization
The Digital Image Stabilizer eliminates the effects of shakes to ensure extremely sharp pictures even when zooming in for close-ups.

PictBridge
Give your PC a rest. Thanks to the PictBridge function of your camcorder, you no longer have to first download your pictures onto your PC before printing. Save your valuable time and energy. Simply connect a USB 2.0 cable to your PictBridge compatible printer and watch your photos appear. Printing, sharing, and framing your digital pictures have never been easier.

USB 2.0 interface
Allows for easy uploading of MPEG4 movie clips and JPEG still images to a PC.

Web cam
Connect the Memory Camcorder to a PC via a USB 2.0 cable and instantly communicate via live video with business associates, friends and family wherever you are.

16:9 widescreen recording
Samsung’s 16:9 recording option ensures that the entire image is recorded. Once your movies are captured in widescreen format, you can enjoy viewing them without having to lose any of the images on your wide-format HDTV screen.

Better sound quality
Samsung’s audio enhancements and effects reduce unwanted ambient sound, improve stereo separation, voice, and music playback, and let you add echo sound effects.

Playback option: Audio playback features modes for improved voice and music clarity, enhanced directional sound, and the option to add echo effects to soundtracks.
Recording option: Reduce unwanted ambient noise with Wind Cut Plus and improve stereo separation with Real Stereo recording audio enhancements.

Travel lighter
Samsung’s newest Mini DV camcorders are more compact and streamlined than the previous year’s models. Fitting comfortably into one hand, the Mini DV camcorder’s improved designs and ergonomics make capturing those important events easier than ever—wherever you are!

I love this camera! I was looking to buy a new camcorder since my old JVC one broke. I got this one because of the sale price, but I'm so glad I did. Video is clear, it is lightweight, small. Basically everything I'd want in a camcorder. Obviously I'm not using for any professional kind of stuff, but for family and vacation filming, its great!

This review is from: Samsung SC-D365 MiniDV Camcorder with 33x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

This camcorder has a extremeley noisy cassette chasis mechanism, it is
a very annoying and a intermittent problem. Other than that this camera
is satifactory, I believe it is over priced for the quality of the video,
especially recording low light conditions.

This review is from: Samsung SC-D365 MiniDV Camcorder with 33x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

this is the worst camcorder i've ever owned.the picture quality is the worst.i can't get a clear picture unless i focus at one distance.if i move a little,or something moves in the picture it goes out of focus.i haven't got one decent video with this piece of garbage yet. i recommend panasonic,it was the last camera i owned and every picture was crystal clear.it's my fault i didn't do my research before i bought this.
