Customer Review: Great!! (If you have good lighting)
The good: The samsung SC-D372 is a great camcorder under the right light conditions. If you film during a bright day on the beach or park, you’ll enjoy great high quality video, widescreen, image stabilization, great sound, and excellent zooming. Very good for recording “open field” sports games, such as baseball and football (during the day).The battery lasts around 80 minutes, unless you rewind. Rewinding it lasts 10 minutes.

Customer Review: WOW
This camera is awesome. Flash memory and awesome video quality. It doesn’t get any better.
Customer Review: Beware - Vegas Platinum and AVCHD
I’m sure some of you will be annoyed with me for writing this; however, several reviewers have written how they are happy they are with using Vegas Platinum 8 to “handle” the AVCHD. I’m not writing this to distract from Canon’s HF100; however, the lack of clarity by previous reviewers will likely result in more people buying Vegas with the assumption that it edits and Creates AVCHD projects. It Doesn’t.
