Samsung SC-DC164 Camcorder Review
|
The SC-DC164 (USD450) is
Samsungs introductory product in the series of DVD camcorders. This is
a lower-class model from a 5th level camcorder company (tho
hierarchies do change). DVD camcorders are a quickly flourishing market,
and the DC164 just cannot fight. All other most important makers Sony,
Canon, and Panasonic present DVD camcorders that is extensively
superior in many features. But all camcorders make an audience, right?

The Samsung SC-DC164
appears good theoretically. If a specifications piece of paper was all
it went for justify a purchase, we may all be perambulating with Samsung
camcorders in our hands. A decorously sized imager, a microphone input,
and 800 x 600 stills - what's not to wish? If you have gone through the
critical review, you can find that there is really very much not to
like. Functioning was worse throughout all categories and that
exclusively knocks it out of contest with the Sony DCR-DVD105, Panasonic
VDR-D100, and Canon DC100. Moreover, the SC-DC164 features bad handling,
because of an awkwardly located and ill-shapen joystick.
The query that remains
after reexamining the Samsung SC-DC164 is "what is the reason?" Why did
they create it? And who will pay money for it? The reply is an
Unsuitable one, but right however. There is a fool born each min, and
lots of from them are jump to transit the doorways of Best Buy and
Circuit City in seek of a camcorder.
Samsung is rising in the globe, there is little question of that. We
must anticipate them to create a major product for video camcorders in
the upcoming years.

Video Performance
The
Samsung SC-DC164 (USD250) has a 1/4.5inch Charge-coupled device having
680K gross pixels. This is large in size as compared to the ordinary
chip size, but has the same pixel count. Resolution is mostly depending
on the count of pixels, and low light functioning is mostly reliant on
the size of the chip. Why the difference between conflicting facts with
this peculiar chip? It might be for many causes, maybe linked to lower
fabrication costs. What we can inform you is the fact that this is not a
very beneficial chip.

Low Light Performance
The
Samsung SC-DC164 was examined for its low light functioning and results
at low light conditions, 60 lux and 15 lux, which may similar to a
averagely lightened room at night and a room lightened by a one bulb at
night. These are not easy conditions for a camcorder to function, and
entry-level camcorders have an even harder time.
