This review is for the Samsung W200 HD Pocket Camcorder. All scenes were shot in 1080p/30fps handheld, with Anti-Shake On. The other two options that the camera has, Face Detection and Back Light were off. The underwater shot could've been better but it's winter here and a bucket of water is the best I could do for the time being. I imagine with greater lighting and the camcorder being further away from the subject, the results will be better. Overall I would rate the camera **4/5 (I have recently changed my score, see below why). Video is pretty good and it takes decent pictures as well with its 5mp camera. The underwater mode is really cool, it allows me to really play around with some shots. It is also shockproof which extends my experimentation. I had problems with some of it's hardware/software, for example, you press record and sometimes it takes a while for it to start recording. Or when you think you press the record button and you don't. It records on an mp4 format but for some reason it has issues in Final Cut Pro. I am still an amateur at FCP but here are some the problems I have with it: Can't Log and Transfer (SD adapter maybe?) Sequence Playback (stops numerous times in between clips, hadn't had this problem until now. I've used a higher quality camera with no problems even with a 5400 rpm drive. The only thing I can think of is that this camera only shoots 30fps, while the higher quality camera could do 24fps, which is what I have it set on. I've tried ...
