Customer Review: Tons of Features for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this at Sam's Club last year because it was the cheapest one left but little did I know how much I was really getting. I see people complain about hissing noises, bad image, etc. but I have seen none of that(plus I bought the extended 2 yr warranty for peace of mind). As for features, the memory stick slot is a big plus since they now come at over 1gig in size. I use video editing software on my PC to render videos directly from tape using the USB or the Firewire. It also has S-video connection for playback on my TV. I record mostly basketball games and I can have an entire game rendered as AVI or MPeg in under an hour. I bought a tape rewinder and two SB-L220 batteries (which lasts about 3.5 hours each and allows me to record up to 5-6 AAU basketball games in one day). I also bought a head cleaner which I use after recording about 12 games. I only use one type of MiniDV tapes. This camera has a really good zoom, plenty of onscreen options and you will be up and running in less than 10min. The only problem is switching tapes during recording because it has a bottom tape load and I use a tripod. Yep you are right I have to unclip the camera from the tripod, unscrew the base from the camera, replace the tape, screw on the base to the camera, and clip the camera back on the tripod during a 30sec time out. - Can't complain because because I now have a new skill to add to my resume:-)

Description of Samsung SCD103 MiniDV Digital Camcorder

Easy to operate, provides a top quality digital video image that is virtually unaffected by hand movements during recording. This sharp image is reflected in its convenient 2.5' TFT LCD monitor which rotates for multi-angle shooting, self-recording and playback.
