Picture quality is horrible. My old digital camera takes better movies than this camera. I am very surprised by this piece of junk put out by Samsung bacause I have Samsung DVD players and a Samsung TV which are great.
Good Introductory Camcorder

I've had this camera a little over a year and a half now. It was my first camcorder, and as a novice with these digital cameras, I found it to be very easy to use and have yet to run into any problems operating it.

It's light, has a great zoom lens and other features that make me think I lucked into the perfect purchase for me at the time. The menus are very intuitive, and everything was super easy to find. Samsung really needs to be complimented on the ease of use here for rookies like me. The learning curve was almost non-existant. Even the software that came with it works fine and it's easy to upload to YouTube as advertised.

The only downside, mentioned in other reviews, is that the camera is, admittedly, a bit outdated today. A new model was in the offing when I bought it (the F34, I think), so I kinda knew that at the time. It isn't HD, and YouTube has since moved to widescreen, a setting you'll need to find and change to in the settings. Still, if you're looking for an affordable intoduction to digital video cameras, or just want to buy one for your granny, you could do a lot worse than to pick one of these up.
Good camera, poor Samsung quality

bought this camera in November 2009. within 3 months, the camera would not recognize a battery. i bought a new battery, same thing. so, since it was out of the labor warranty, i had to send it back to Samsung and they replaced the battery mechanism for $40. they customer service was very good.

the camera takes good movies, not great. sometimes they would be jumpy when recording to the flash memory. maybe it was the card i was using, but it was not always a seemless recording.

overall a decent low end camera, if you take the gamble on Samsung quality.
Great For Beginners

Reviewer: Kirsten K. Mitchell,
I have had this video camera for about a year now.I am 14 year old and have used this video camera a lot.i used to play airsoft and would videotape that.But now it is not very useful to me. Here are some Pros and Cons.

Pros:
Very easy to use.
Nice zooming but not very steady without a tripod.
Easy to upload onto youtube.
Great if your not very experienced.
Nice storage space.
Comes with carrrying bag.

Cons:
Editing Software is CRAP!
Horrible recording indoors or in bad lighting conditions.
Not that much Battery life.
Bad quality most of the time.
Very shaky.
Somewhat Confusing settings.

Overall:
This video camera is great for beginners while it lacks in some very important things. i would advice people to only but this as their first or second camera. not for profetionals(forgot how to spell it lol) but deffinately an OK camera. i'm current ly saving up for a $500 hd camera.
