Samsung SC-D103

Samsung SC-D103 Mini DV Camcorder

The SCD103 and SCD107 models are clearly Samsung's economy line, with a black and white viewfinder in the SCD103 and a color viewfinder in the SCD107, upgrades to the previous SCD93 and SCD99 models

Author's Review
After extensive comparison of digital camcorders, I bought this camera as a well-priced entry level alternative to higher-priced models that all have limitations.

The video produced by this camera was simply unacceptable to me and I returned it. The images were grainy and highly pixelated. I thought this problem might be improved with use of an S-video hookup but it was the same (or worse). I also thought it might have been a "low-light" problem but the same thing was true (although less dramatic) shooting in well-lit rooms and even outside in the sunshine.

The problem was probably exacerbated by the fact that I have a fairly large projection TV but when I hooked it up to a smaller tube set, the image was still very grainy.

Too bad. I like the feel of the unit and the feature set was good. COuldn't keep it though because the picture would drive me crazy.
