Great Starter MiniDV camera

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: All in all I don't see how you can go wrong if all you want is a miniDV camcorder for general purpose movie taking.
Review: With a baby due any day and grandparents in other states I decided to buy a camcorder. Being a technology sort of guy I decided that I wanted to get a MiniDV so that I could download and edit video easily on my PC and then burn Video CDs or DVDs to...

EXCELENT MiniDV camera for the price.

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Just can't beat the quality for the price. Short Battery life is weakest spot. Low light isn't great but that can be compensated for with camera features.
Review: I got tired of making analog Hi-8 recordings and needed a MiniDV camera. For the price, this MiniDV camera is great. It was $229 from Aldi's (the grocery store).

I was a bit skeptical of buying such an inexpensive camera, but it has met my...

Compare price with features / picture / sound. Then buy this camera!!

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: I've compared several cameras in this price range and found this to be solid choice. Great picture and sound, easy to use and exceptional value.
Review: Great buy for the price. I purchased it just prior to Christmas and have used it for everything from mini-home movies with my daughter and me as stars to a high school graduation. It's simple to use. With the "Easy Q" feature, my eleven year old can...

Excellent quality for a reasonable price

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a top of the class camera, perfect for anybody looking for high quality on a low budget.
Review: I always look for the best quality for a reasonable price when buying tech stuff. After some research, it seemed like the SC-D23 would fit the bill, and I'm glad to report that it turned out to be even better than I had expected. These are the...

Great camera, great price

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great camera.  Love it 5 years later.
Review: The Samsung SC-D23 Mini-DV Camcorder is a fantastic, dependable camera. I've owned this camera for 5 years now and I still love it as much as when I bought it. I do a lot of independent video production work and this camera is on every job-site. I...

The Best Mini DV Camcorder in its Class!

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: A combination of price and techonology this has the best of both worlds I think Samsung pulled off a winner in the SCD23.
Review: When I found this camcorder at Costco for only $349 I grabbed it fast. This little DVc has all the goodies that you need to make movies and take digital pictures. I pulled it out of the box charged the battery and I was recording right away, it is...

Great Digital Camcorder for the Price

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Yes, The price really throws people off but its a great camcorder.
Review: I was really looking for a new Camcorder to replace my 8 year old VHS Sony camcorder, but I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg to get a new one. I found SC-D23 on eBay for only 100 + 10s/h, and it came with 5 MiniDv tapes with all the stock...

Great Camcorder Best of it's class

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2006
Review: I've had this camera for about 8 months so far, works absolutely perfect. I purchased it because my research of quality and features yielded this model. What I love is the outputs, FireWire, USB, S-VIDEO, Composite, MIC. Also takes memory card and...

Never got past charging the battery

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: Lots of features and cheap. But manual implies a lot of battery switching (remove it when not in use). Ok. But you get what you pay for.
Review: I've been looking for good, cheap, starter digital camcorder for a month for a Europe trip. All the sonys, sharps, jvcs, all seemed to be high priced (which might mean they're better). But I was looking for something cheap that doesn't compromise...

Costs $70/hr to use

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2006
Review: Buyer be very aware! Our camcorder has the same problem as some here as well as ones on other message boards. After a little less than 6 hours of recording, it quit recording video. It will record audio only and play back audio and video. At this...
