SAMSUNG W190 5.5MP HD Pocket Camcorder Red

I've had this little camcorder a few weeks now and I love it! Shoots in 720 and 1080 HD plus it captures still photos (which can be done during recording or playback). The picture gets a little grainy in low light or when you zoom in but nothing that makes it unwatchable. Comes with a mini-HDMI port so you can hook it up to your TV for HD viewing. I bought a female to male USB adapter to make charging a little easier otherwise the camera hangs out of the computer's USB port kind of awkwardly. I have used it to shoot about an hours worth of video so far (on and off over the last few weeks) and I'm only down one bar on the battery indicator. Haven't tested the waterproof part but I'm not really interested in that anyways. Overall, a good little camera for the price.

This is a great product for your parents that want to have a camcorder, but can't deal with complicated electronics (yet). The W190 is very, very easy to use and within hours my dad was shooting Christmas videos with it. He's wanted a camcorder for years, but the price has never been right for us until I came across this little gem. Great price, great video quality, very robust casing, and very easy to use.I'm docking a star because of how unwieldy it is to charge, though. If it came with a standard AC charger it would be absolutely perfect. As it stands, the USB connector looks rather precarious when it's charging on the PC.

This stopped working after 1 day of normal use. Not in water or dropped, just would no longer turn on. Try something else.

The size of this camcorder is excellent, unfortunately its features are limited. You cannot add photos from other sources, you cannot share your videos easily. I have not been able to access the external storage card yet. I am sure there are other brands that areconsiderably more user friendly. Video quality is decent.

It's OK. I had a Flip video recorder for several years that just died on me. This was the replacement and the Flip video recorder was much better in my opinion. This one has better audio, but the Flip was easier to use and the downloaded program for putting the videos on your computer was MUCH better with the Flip recorder. Too bad they don't make Flip anymore.

This little cam corder is sturdy, it was for my teen daughter to use running around. We live in the Pacific NW in the winters and she can video even in the rain. Last week we went hiking and it stands true to its waterproof claim, because she filmed the river under the water....very beautiful images...

My husband has been using this to record our daughter playing volleyball. He likes it a lot since it's very compact and light weight. He loves the fact that it is an HD recorder. He seems to be extremely happy with our purchase. The only problem was that we needed to get a larger memory card immediately. The one that came with it only recorded about 30 minutes worth of action.

The price was right to try out this camera to capture our obstacle course run. ["GAC Trailer Cut"] My friend had recently lost his waterproof camera, so we needed something quickly. I'm very happy with my no-longer-new camera! We threw it over walls to each other and crawled through mud with it, and it still feels brand new (after picking dirt clods out of the crevices). The ONLY complaint I could make is that the front of the camera has a pyramid texture to the black plastic that traps dirt and is hard to clean, if that's anyone's biggest concern...
