5.0 out of 5 stars Great for what I needed it do do, June 27, 2008

By	Darren Harrison "DVD collector and reviewer" (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I am not an expert at using a camcorder by any stretch of the imagination so I approached this product's mass of settings and controls with somewhat wary an approach. A family vacation up to New York and Canada earlier this year gave me the opportunity to put it through its paces and it passed with flying colors. I also was able to hook it up to my DVD recorder with a firewire cable (not included) and transfer it easily onto regular DVD. One thing that surprised me (given the reviews here concerning lighting) is that my camcorder works great in poor lighting. Watching it with my travel companions as I transferred the home video to DVD they remarked that the shots at an aquarium were brighter than they had been to the naked eye and brought out more detail. One troubling detail about the camera is that it needs to be hooked up to recharge the battery (which itself lasts about an hour). However I bought a TechFuel Premium Advanced Desktop Battery Charger as well as more powerful batteries by TechFuel (both given as accessories on the Amazon product page) and they work great.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Okay Camera...., June 24, 2007

By	John P. Sullivan (Roseville, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is pretty nice considering the SC-D372's price range. The best feature is the conveniently located "Easy Q" button - seems to figure out the best settings.

It has easily accessible VCR-style multi-function controls that are not under the LCD fold-out. The contour of the camera is comfortable to the hand.

The SC-D372 is an affordable way to capture moments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price, March 1, 2008

By	Greg Yale - See all my reviews

I always trust Samsung and they impressed me more with this camera. probably the cheapest video camera availible, it is better than you would expect it to be. Although it isn't so good in night or dim light, not a lot of other cameras are anyways. It's perfect for anyone who simply wants a basic video camera.
