Product Description
If you want a camcorder that is easy to use right out of the box, with powerful optical zoom and plenty of taping time, you will thoroughly love the SC-D363. You can even upload still pictures directly to the printer thanks to USB 2.0/PictBridge technology.

had this camcorder for 2 years now only used it at xmas and birthdays and now it keeps flashing on the screen to eject the tape. it's a mechanical problem and is going to cost almost as much as the camera costed to get fixed
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMCORDER! August 3, 2008

This camcorder is unreliable. I purchased one locally (not from Amazon.com), and it failed after I had recorded less than one and a half tapes. Unfortunately, by that time it was out of warranty, so I am stuck with it although it is now useless. Checking online, I discovered that other owners have experienced the same problem. (The camcorder will not record or play tapes because the "eject" signal appears even with new tapes.) After this experience, I would avoid all Samsung products.

Don't buy this camera. And if you own one, like me, don't capture your precious family moments with this camera. The video quality is very bad, with red tones shifted towards the magenta. It is almost imposible to get good focus with the camera, even in manual focus mode. The motors that drive the tape are extremely noisy. All this noise is unfortunatelly captured forever in your recordings. Battery life is also very short. The built-in SD card for tapeless recordings is a hoax; the pictures are worst than the ones captured from the cheapest camera phone, they also have the same problem with the red tones, captured as magentas. The video captured on the SD card, is low quality recording not acceptable for a video camera. Save a few more dollars and go with a better camera. You will get what you paid for with this camera.

*** UPDATE ***
I have just returned to the USA and am very disappointed with this camera yet again(replacement for the same model). On my first shoot, I was unable to access the video, about 30 minutes still on the tape. The authorized technician in the country I was filming said; Sadly, the tape mechanism is unable to maintain alignment and needs to be replaced, the cost is the same as the unit itself.
Perhaps the product or assembly is inherently flawed or in this case, the used camcorder "duplicate gift, never used" was really a scam to pawn this lemon onto someone else.
So it would seem, not only am I out the cost of the camcorder but, also the accessories I purchased for it! Buyer beware.
ORIGINAL TEXT:
The product was shipped by "trusted_technophile" and arrived EXACTLY as described... keep up the good work!
I was worried, because it was used... but, no problems & fast service.
The camcorder, so far, seems to be a mostly daytime unit with crisp audio. I use it as an auxiliary camera, since it's so small and light... I can get it to more filming locations with less worry of loosing an expensive camera.

This camera worked fine for a while. After about six months, I started getting a mechanical fault. This camera has less than 2 hours of total use, has been stored and used carefully in the box it came in. Samsungs min charge for repairs is $80.00. $40.00/hr seems just a bit steep for a camcorder and I just can't see spending 40% of the retail cost for repairs in what has proven to be an inferior quality product. Save your money, buy a Canon.
