5.0 out of 5 stars Great value camcorder, 7 Nov 2008

This review is from: Samsung VP-MX20/XEU Flash Memory Camcorder (Electronics)

I've only had this camcorder for a few days and I'm very impressed. I previously had a Sony Digital-8 camcorder but it malfunctioned a couple of weeks ago and Sony wanted over �160 to fix it. I therefore figured I'd be better off buying a new camcorder. Part of my criteria was to get a solid state memory camcorder too, i.e. no film and no hard drive. That is, the less moving parts, the less likely that something will fail. I got the MX20 for �140 and a 16gb card for �20. The camcorder is tiny. It's unbelievable how much technology has progressed in the last 3 years. It fits in the palm of my hand, unlike my previous Sony camcorder which was a bit of a monster to loaf around. The battery life is great (up to 3 hours) and the picture quality is brilliant. I'm sure there's better camcorder's out there if you want to spend �200+, but this one certainly meets my needs. I've taken a lot of video already and it displays great on my TV (an audio/video cable is supplied with the camcorder). I had to load the footage from my previous camcorder in real time onto my computer, i.e. 1 hour footage took 1 hour to load onto my computer. With this one however, I can simply copy and paste the video data straight onto my PC's hard drive in a few minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flash Memory Camcorder, 8 May 2009

I bought this camera because firstly, the price although its cheap it produces an exellant picture it is very simple to use and to download your movies to your P.C. for editing, it is very light and fits in my hand like a glove it has not got all the fancy features of its big brothers but then you are paying good money for something you will never use this wee camera does everything and to the same quality as my friends �400 model the only draw back is the need to eject the battery pack if you are not useing it or the battery will drain very quickly so get a replacment battery and charger they are on Amazon and also a 8gb. memory card and eat your heart out Stephen Spielberg

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect cheap camcorder, 2 Jan 2009

This review is from: Samsung VP-MX20/XEU Flash Memory Camcorder (Electronics)

I chosen this camera for its price, 16:9 ratio and above all the ability to record onto solid memory (no DV etc) However as a mac user i was astonished to find (as A. Gough "goughac") said. However with a little investigation i discovered that all these problems can be solved by using a little free piece of software called MPEG streamclip. Quite easy to do, just set the converter to 16:9 and export the movie. Now all my clips are fine, and work seamlessly with imovie. Granted this is an inconvenience, But its a small price to pay compared to the pain in the butt that is mini DV tapes. And at that price, i don't care!
