    What kind of quality do these record?
    Also can you convert them easily to normal DVD?

    The HD camera is Terrible

    Do you have experience with the Aldi one?


    I am also interested in this.
    The mother is looking for a compact (and cheap!) HD camcorder for a trip.

    The Sumsung/Lidl one appears to be firewire only, which may be an issue.

    After a bit of googling I think the Samsung one is an SC-D382.

    The pictures match and the most of the specs match (except lidl's "800k pixel" the SC-d382 is 680k. I couldn't find any proper reviews but there are a few comments on amazon.

    It was released in March of this year with an RRP of $199.. Decide yourself if this is a bargain..

    It seems to actually be the 381 model which explains the 800k diff.

    The lack of a standard PC connection is a killer on this. I don't have a firewire card on either my laptop or desktop PC so I'm not going to buy just for this.

    Here it is in Pixmania for €124 (before shipping)

    I was searching about the same couple of days ago but reviews in the Samsung are not that good, I was reading in another website and also 2/3 out of 5.

    Going for Panasonic VDRD50 DVD from Belfast over the weekend.

    Does anyone know a good place up North (on the way up to Belfast south) to get cheap camcorders?
