Samsung DVD/VCR Combo2007-04-04
I was very happy with my experience. I needed this product by a certain day and the delivery was quick. I also used the ups website so I could track my package. I'm glad that I was provided with this option through your website.
Absolute JUNK!!!2007-03-22
This product follows an interesting trend of well known respected companies producing absolute junk. You probably will better buying no name products these days.

HDMI output died in two days, VCR and tuner have horrible picture quality and are not upconverted so you need to use two inputs on your monitor. DVD player when it was working would not read most of my DVD recordable media. Save your money. Even if you find this refurbished for less than fifty bucks, it is way too much money.
Free would be too much to pay for this thing.2007-02-22
With this one purchase I have lost all confidence in Samsung. Another of the once great OEMs that has apparently fallen to rampant consumerism.

Out of the box this thing sounded like a remote control model airplane when I plugged it in, and as I cycled through the menu I quickly found that the VCR just wouldn't play...I tried 3 different tapes but none would advance or play. I see other people complaining about this and I should have checked here before buying but I was on the road and it looked like a good deal with the HDMI and all.

From the look of the customer service rep at the store, I suspect a lot of these units come back. I had much better luck with the Phillips combo unit I replaced this dog with, and at 25% less than this soon to be obsolete Samsung unit.
Total garbage.2007-02-21
I wanted this unit for its HDMI output but it didnt work when I brought it home and hooked it up. The player made this horrible buzzing sound, the DVD drawer would not open, and the VCR wouldnt play. Thats not so good I think. Took it back to the store and got something else that does work and its not a Samsung!
DO NOT buy this unit!2007-02-19
This unit is junk, plain and simple. I bought it, and after only a month of moderate use, the laser system on the DVD player went out, kaput. Samsung customer service was friendly, but the only thing they would do - I guess this is standard procedure for the junk electronics being made now - was to repackage it and send it off to a repair facility; at my own cost, of course. Based on what I've read in other reviews, apparently I'm not alone. I realize people tend to write only when they're not satisfied, but what happened is totally unacceptable. When the guy at Samsung customer support told me the laser was shot, his only comment was, "It happens." Apparently, even he knows they're junk. If I can stop only one person from buying this, then I consider this review a success...buy another brand; don't buy a Samsung.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...

White Balance - If you ever ended up with yellow-tinted video, chances are you forgot to white balance. It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
