Customer Review: Best miniDV camcorder for under ?200
A brilliant little camcorder. Served me well for almost a year now and nothing has gone wrong, with marvelous picture and video quality despite the price (?150 when I got it). It is really small and, although it uses tapes, you would usually transfer your footage to the computer and then rewind the tape to use it again so you don’t have to buy more tapes. Each tape holds 60 mins on high quality or 90 mins on low quality. You can also plug your camcorder into the TV or watch the videos which you put onto the computer on a DVD! Apart from what I have already said, there are many more things you can do with the camcorder such as black and white mode, snow or sand mode and portrait mode. Trust Samsung, don’t be fooled by the ridiculously low price!

Panasonic NV-GS300B Digital Camcorder 3 x CCD (10 x Optical ,3.1MP Stills , 2.7″ Wide LCD, DV in/out )
Used Price: ?299.00
Customer Review: Panasonic NV-GS300B (Made in Japan)
I bought this camcorder from Hong Kong at last month. For HK$5,000 (?321). It is my first ever camcorder. The video and picture quality is excellent. The colours are rich, the images are sharp because it uses the Leica lens with 3CCD, which is far better than 1CCD camcorder. It builds in O.I.S. so it can help me to shoot video and pictures well even my hand is shaking. It is a nice size with 2.7″ big screen and the joystick is very easy to use. I am going to take it with me to France on holiday in this summer.
Customer Review: Very Pleased - lives up to expectations
I bought this about a month ago and have already had some fantastic results, you do need to dedicate some time learning and testing the various photo settings, in the end I set mine to 4.3 aspect ratio rather than 16.9 as there was some much left over blank space top/bottom (16.9 being widescreen), it maybe me just not getting it right so will keep playing with both! This is much better than my original 1ccd camcorder especially when used indoors or for slow motion.

Customer Review: Not sure what you are talking about!
This little camera is just superb for photos and video recording. It is completely waterproof, however you do need to make sure the clasp is firmly closed, and we have found it to be extremely durable. Only slight criticism is that it is quite big, however to be waterproof and do everything that it does, we really cant fault it. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to take photos / video footage while on or in water or biking.
Customer Review: Disappointment - but mine was faulty…
Update: Since initially writing my review I have since been told by GoPro that the camera I had was faulty. They have been very quick to replace my unit with a new one which should arrive soon. The customer service has been excellent from this point of view. The review of the old camera remains below - I’ll update the difference when I get the new unit. The main problem with my unit was the battery life. If you take a couple of short (ie ten second) clips of video the batteries will be drained and then I was stuck with a camera on my wrist for the rest of the session that can’t do anything. Problem two was the picture quality. I appreciate it’s only 3 megapixels but the quality was pretty poor. Particularly if the sun is not shining (very, very dark photos and video with no sunshine). The worst however was the video. The quality was pretty poor, but when I played back the video’s I’d shot at home they either hadn’t come out (often you’d get a couple of frames and then it would stop when you knew you’d shot ten seconds worth) or you’d get your ten seconds worth but with multi-coloured lines through the middle of it, blocking the view of what you were trying to film.

Nikon COOLPIX 5400 Digital Camera [5MP 4xOptical]
Used Price: ?199.99
Customer Review: NIKON 5400
EXCELLENT CAMERA I used it throughout a 6 month trip around suth america. it got wet i droped it several times and it still worked. i bought a 1gig card which gave me 400+photos. I also took 3 batteries which was more than enough. The battery power was enough for a good 100 photos each. This made me a little trigger happy and have almost 10000 photos. with this number taken a my lack of skill at photography the law of averages means i have some cackers. the camera which i bought a year ago, when it first came out was quite expencive (?200 more than it is now)was a great investment. nb if you are abroard and are charging your batteries regally you can buy the universal lead to the charger in even the most remote backwater. since being away almost a year ago now, i have continued with my trigger happy approach to photography and still achieve great results. the panoramic set up is very good too
Customer Review: Great for those moving up from point ‘n’ shoot.
I’ve owned several simple point ‘n’ shoot digicams over the years and decided that it was time I moved up to a camera that let me take control when I wanted to. An Xmas trip to Iceland - with the chance of seeing (and photographing) the Northern Lights was the impetus I needed. The 5400 looked to be the ideal candidate - all the reviews rave over the excellent wide angle (28mm equiv) lens. And it would allow me to take full control of exposures when I needed to. It performed faultlessly. The semi-automatic Program mode was perfect for most scenarios, but it was the night-time shots that were the real gems. With full manual control long exposures were simple. The wide-angle lens captured huge swaths of the sky. And the image quality was astounding. The final results were good enough to win Picture of the Month in Astronomy Now magazine! Not bad for somebody who’d never touched anything more than the shutter release on a camera before.
