 Best quality for Best price January 11, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have tried many different camcorders/digital cameras before landing onto this one from Samsung. Both camera and camcorder let me make excellent quality pictures and movies of my own. Sounds are also real and great without any noticeable mechanical noise. I was also impressed with the way it adjusts the brightness and flash light automatically depending on the places. Controls and buttons are easy to operate but took me a couple of days to get used to it. When compared with ones from JVC or Sony, SCD6550 is the clear winner with unbeatable price and the quality. I am not a professional photographer so I cannot evaluate the machine in too technical terms. But, by and large, this dual functional camcorder fully serves my needs in the most portable way. I can strongly recommend this product for personal and family use.

Anyone who says this isnt a great piece of equipment is talking complete rubbish! For the price and size it's excellent. Good quality stills and camcorder for when needed.
Yes, if you want a very small and very high quality camera - then simple, buy a camera!
But for 2 in 1 this is the best on the market.
I took my one for first real use to Disney, Florida recently and it lived up to all expectations and was easy to carry, did all I asked and I came back with some very good shots (482) and a great deal of footage which is easy to play around with through my pc. 99% of shots of perfect and as good as my small canon SD400.
Yes, in a year or two I am sure something better will be around (as a previous reviewer says) but isnt there always???
Go for it.
Great idea July 22, 2005

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a way to take video and pictures without the hassle of lugging around (and charging) two separate gadgets. It takes excellent pictures, just as good if not better than any other digital camera I have seen. I am also very pleased with the video - I found the software very user friendly and video was easy to transfer and edit on my computer. The battery has a good life, I have had no problems having to stop and recharge it. There is a nite mode that compensates (very well, I think) for low light video. The camera is easy to carry around (it is smaller than my 35mm) and I am having no problems with the functionality - all in all a great idea and easy to use with great pictures and great video.
 Even the digital still shots are not that good.... July 16, 2005

To add on to the previous reviewers, I was very disappointed with this camera's performance. I compared the "5 megapixel" photos with photos taken with my Canon, PowerShot G3 (4megapixels), and the SCD6550 simply did not produce the same quality stills. The camera itself also seemed flimsy. The idea of having a two-in-one camera is so attractive. But another attractive concept, Canon's Elura50, offered a camcorder with a compact design. In the end, however, it broke down only after a year and a half. For a $500 purchase that is not a durable lifespan (cf. reviews for Elura50 and you will see that many are having hardware problems). This camera seemed less durable than the Elura50 as I maneuvered the various parts and dials. Of course, I am returning the camera before it can prove its durability. Nevertheless, maybe the folks at CNet can stake their money on it. Lastly, I should add that the positioning of the record button and function dials are poorly placed. I found that I had to use both hands when switching back and forth from camcorder to still cam modes as well as simply engaging the record button. This definitely takes away from the idea of a convinient solution for capturing those special moments.
Again, this camera is a great idea. But, I suppose we should wait until the manufacturers make one that has both solid hardware and quality image recording. This one is on the right track, but, still so far from accomplishing a quality product.
Poor indoor/low light quality July 1, 2005

I would agree with the other review. The indoor/low light quality of the video is unacceptable. I will be returning the camcorder today to purchase another.
