Samsung DVD Digital Camcorder Review

There are very few DVD Camcorders out there that are both aesthetically beautiful as well as beautiful on the inside. Well, I have found a camera that is both gorgeous on the outside as well as having so many options and features that it will blow your mind! This camcorder is unlike most out there, because it is a Samsung. I am talking about the Samsung DVD Digital Camcorder with 2.7" LCD Monitor, Model: SC-DC173. There is something very special about this camcorder, because it gives you the ability to film and create breathtaking videos. Whether you are needing a new camcorder to capture your child's first steps, or if you are needing to film other various things, this camera will deliver!

This camcorder comes with an amazing zoom feature. There is a 34x optical zoom as well as a 1200x digital zoom. I have rarely seen a consumer camera that can zoom up to 1200 times! This means that you can be literally across the football field and see what type of candy the people in the bleachers across for your are eating. It's that powerful! This camera also comes with a 2.7" color LCD monitor, but it also has a color viewfinder, just in case you don't want to watch what you're filming over the LCD monitor.

I know there are several questions about this camera that many people have. However, there is always the same question that people bring up whenever I mention the zooming capabilities. And it is, "But if you're zooming that much, won't the picture be extremely hard to stabilize?" Well, generically speaking yes. On most camera's if you were to zoom at a completely 1200x's than you would experience extreme vibrations and a noticeable shakiness to the image. However, with this Samsung Camcorder, you will not experience any of this because the camera comes with a digital image stabilization system , which will keep your video smooth and clear. So, go ahead and film at full zoom, your video will come out crystal clear!

This camcorder also comes with one of the industries highest quality lenses. When you use this camera you will be filming with a professional-quality Schneider lens, which will give you an extreme crispness and clarity to your video. This camcorder comes in two different recording modes. These two modes consist of 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. This gives you an amazing option in how you would like to remember that vacation you took with the family.

Wondering what you will be recording on, or if you can only record on DVD's? Well, if you are going to record on a DVD, than you can do with DVD+R DL as well as DVD+R/RW. However, if you would like to record you videos on something else than a DVD, than you can do so on a Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard memory cards. This is and extremely simple and easy way to record, store and share your videos. However, if you are wanting to do some real editing, making your vacation an epic film, than you can upload all of your videos into your computer though the USB 2.0 port, which transfers all videos and photos into your PC quickly and efficiently. There are even A/V outputs which let you plug your camcorder directly into your television. This camcorder also comes with up to 60 minutes of battery life.

If you are looking for a great mid-grade DVD Digital Camcorder, that looks great both on the outside as well as the images that will come from it - than you should definitely look into this camcorder. For a price tag that averages around $350.00, than practically anyone can enjoy a great recording experience.
