Now for the camera. One thing that annoyed me after a few minutes was the constant manual flipping of half of the device between still and video. I did a comparison between the Samsung still digital camera and my Sony 3.34 MP camera that I already owned. Disappointment again.

from Amazon.com pros: a great idea cons: grainy, washed-out video, autofocus way too slow! from Yahoo.com the video is grainy, especially in low light. from Yahoo.com feature packed, good quality, easy to use, very convenient from Shopping.com feature packed, good quality, easy to use, very convenient cons: short battery life 1/2 hour, but what do u expect from small batteries. from Shopping.com outdoors, the video was ok producing ever so slightly washed out colors, but here is the real problem. from Amazon.com moving between light and moderately dark areas of a small room produced horrible video. from Amazon.com really, if you ignore such frills as bluetooth and internet connectivity from within your camcorder (!!!), you can probably buy something much cheaper than the trv70.one day, we'll all carry one from Amazon.com the video quality indoors is absolutely horrible, even with the night shot features, and every possible combination of settings, etc. from Amazon.com I tried really hard to find reasons to keep this camera. But in the end, the video quality was too horrible to justify it as a $... digital still camera.

Outdoors, the video was OK producing ever so slightly washed out colors, but here is the real problem.
