 camera sucks March 6, 2008
I bought this camers a little while back. I have used it maybe three time .. the 1st 2 times i was able to record and playback and do all the functions the camera was meant for. The 3rd time i used it I was away in Hawaii and got some great footage of me and my family on a cruise.... Thats when it started.... I couldn't get the camera to play back what i recorded on the trip.... I sent it back to samsung and they said it was fine... but the camera still doesn't work... I am very pissed off and have done many things to try and fix the camera... Samsung will not help anymore and to bring it somewhere else costs like $100 just for them to look at it.... I am disappointed and feel like I have been ripped off....

I originally purchased the Samsung DUOCAM SCD6040. It fortunately broke 1 week before the warranty ran out. The video began having giant pixilated squares when video taping and on playback. Though under warranty, it still cost me $49 (their fee) to send in the camera for a repair. The repaired camera came back broken. I had to deal with many customer service people, but finally got them to agree mine was a "lemon" and they sent me the SCD6550. Now 10 months later, the video and playback on this duocam has broken. You see a black screen with yellow blocks on the LCD and through the viewfinder. I cannot video tape or playback anything on tape. It is not under warranty. I can't believe their cameras/duocams don't last longer than one year. They must use cheap parts. PLEASE save yourself the headache and chose another brand.
 Poor auto focus October 9, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought I was upgrading from analog to digital but after seeing the videos I shot indoors I liked the analog better. Very poor and grainy. Also the focus is terrible! While filming 3 people in a row moving from one to the other the focus would blur then refocus. I filmed my daughter's ballet recital and could not believe how the auto focus kept bluring then focusing. Very disappointed with this purchase. I guess it's true what they say. "You get what you pay for" It seems under $600.00 doesn't get you much.
This camera doesn't have a great video quality March 15, 2006

I have many pet peaves about this camera.
a) the video showed untrue colors and came out rather dark----don't try to record indoors
b) didn't fit into my hand naturally and had to use two hands to navigate the menu and even the record button. NOT GOOD
c) didn't start up fast enough---I always missed the shot
d) the camera photos aren't of good quality
e) microphone not that great---you couldn't even hear people that were standing ten feet away from the camera.
f) if your laptop is over 3 years old, even if you've got Windows XP, don't expect the software to be compatible.
g) the zoom lens zoomed to fast at the movement of my finger. I'd lightly press the zoom button to one side and it zoomed too fast and it did the same for zooming out. I felt like I had to just manually zoom----ie. walk up closer to the subject
I honestly say stay away from the Samsung's and the Sony's aren't much better and they have a monopoly on the matching accessories, ie. only Sony products are compatible with the camcorder.
I finally bought a JVC and they are awesome----the take more light in, better acoustical recording, better zoom function, quicker start up, and lighter. You can even buy the cheapest model (which is pretty much what I've got) and the picture is great! My parents commented on how they thought I must have a camera like the News reporters, as it's the same quality.
 Video quality is very bad February 22, 2006

I like the price and the concept of two lenses. The video quality is horrible indoor. Also the auto focus is so slow that I have to use the manual focus mode to avoid the problem. I recommend Sony.
