Samsung SCD6040 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Strengths: Price, 4MP Digital Camera, Lots of Features

Weakness: The display is a bit small and the battery life is a little short. But these minor weaknesses should not keep you from purchasing it

This camera is excellent due to the fact that it's a compact minvDV and 4MP Digital camera rolled into one. I was real skeptical about digital camera quality at first. I took some photos of my family and got it developed right away. The quality was excellent, it came out just as good as my old 5MP Camera. I dont have a problem with the size, it is almost as large as my old Olympus Camedia 5050...

Samsung SCD6040 Mini DV Camcorder

In recent years, Samsung has successfully changed the focus of its consumer electronics products from a low-cost approach to a dynamic, stylish and innovative line of camcorders, televisions and digital cameras. One success story that illustrates this shift in focus is last year’s SCD5000 DuoCam, a combination video and digital still camera that used two separate lens components to deliver both...

Quick Review Camcorders : Samsung SCD6040

The Samsung SCD6040 is an oddball in the camcorder community. It melds the absolutely dreadful video and low light performance of Samsung's camcorders with the mediocre versatility found on many hybrid camcorders. But, unlike hybrid camcorders like the Fisher FVD-C1 or the Panasonic SV-AV100, the Samsung SCD6040 is big and sometimes clunky. On a bright note, with its large body, the SCD6040 can...

Samsung SCD6040 Camcorder Review

The Samsung SCD6040, with its smooth black design and silver highlights, is a visually impressive camera. Samsung’s Duo-Cam technology makes the camera immediately recognizable as a hybrid — there’s a separate lens for the digital camera and camcorder. The SCD6040 has a10X optical lens for the camcorder (supported by a 1/6th-inch 680k CCD), a 3X optical for the digital camera (1/1.8 inch...
