Camcorders How To Choose
Help choosing a Flash Drive Camcorder (sc-mx10?)?
Planning on buying a camcorder and it MUST be:
- Flash drive storage (durable for snowboarding) + easy PC transfer
- Under $500
- Easy video editing (generic file type)
There’s a Samsung SC-MX10 on sale locally for $298.
This is by-far the best deal locally. All other flash drive camcorders are $600+
How is the video quality on this camera? Comparable to MiniDV almost?
Any reasons I shouldn’t buy this one, and should buy another one? (suggest)
The video quality is nowhere near as good as MiniDV and it records in MPEG-4 Part 2 (e.g. DivX etc), so editing is about as hard as it gets, plus you’re likely to get motion artifacts. The lack of a viewfinder might be a concern if it’s very bright.
$298 isn’t a good price – Amazon have it at $213 with free shipping.
