Bought The Samsung Vp-dc161 From A Shopping Channe

BOUGHT THE SAMSUNG VP-DC161 FROM A SHOPPING CHANNEL, AFTER WARRANTY IT WOULDNT WORK, KEEPS SAYING "bad disk or no disk " MAKES NOISES FROM THE DISK COMPARTMENT, THE RECORDER WAS ONLY USED A HANDFUL OF TIMES, WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE JUST A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. WAS CONSIDERING GETTING THE ITEM REPAIRED LOCALLY, BUT AFTER READING THESE REVIEWS, THINK THAT WOULD BE A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MY MONEY, SO ONLY ONE SOLUTION BIN IT. DO NOT BUY. SOUNDS LIKE SAMSUNG IS A WASTE OF TIME TOO.

I Have Had Nothing But Trouble With This Camcorder

I have had nothing but trouble with this camcorder. I trusted the dork in Currys and have wasted £299. I have tried to use this on three holidays now & we have no use-able footage what so ever. Cant format discs, cant finalize discs, cant connect to mac, cant afford to waste another boat load of money. Thanks Samsung you thieving pirates!

Why dont industry test these things before they buy stock and pass them on to us customers.

I Love The Compactness Of The Samsung Vp-dc161, Bu

I love the compactness of the Samsung VP-DC161, but i hate the battery power! The battery lags! But guess what? - I bought a replacement battery from Maplin Electronics for £9.99 and now I'm recording for upto 3 hours on the trot!

I've Had This Camcorder For 18 Months Now. The Fir

I've had this camcorder for 18 months now. The first one broke after 2 weeks with disk errors/freezing etc... I took in back to Argos who offered me a refund or an exchange. Stupidly I went for an exchange. It then broke again two days out of warranty. Argos were excellent and sent it off for repair. Since then it has been for repair a further two times and it is as bad as ever. Battery shows as full and then goes to empty in less than one minute. If camcorder loses power, which it does regulary, then disk can't be finalised and recording can never be played on a DVD player. We've just been on a short break and the camera worked fine for 20 minutes. The disk we had in was a 60 minute disk, but due to previous problems I decided to finalise so I wouldn't lose my recording. Upon asking it to finalise it came up with disk error and kept switching itself off. Then when I got the camera to come back on it said there was no disk in the camera. I'm going back to Argos today with a copy of all these reviews as this product should have been withdrawn from sale. It obviously has many faults most relating to the software within the camcorder. Fingers crossed Argos take upo my case. Under any circumstances and no matter how cheap DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

My Samsung Vp-dc161 Has Been Completely Useless An

My Samsung VP-DC161 has been completely useless and Samsung far less than helpful when things went wrong, as were PC World, they were not interested in either replacing or repairing mine even though I was told it had a two year guarantee!

The camera lasted for one and a half hours of recording and now does not work at all. Could not even finalise the disc that was in it when it packed up, lost valuable footage of baby daughter.

Bought another off e-bay if only to finalise the disc but it had the same fault only backlight came on and nothing else at all! I do not recommend buying the Samsung VP-DC161 I have wasted over £350 to date and have now decided to write to the BBC Watchdog program as feel sure hundreds of people have bought this duff product from Samsung and it is high time they owned up to making a dud and provided replacement of refund.

Very Disappointed In The Camcorder. It Was My Fir

Very disappointed in the camcorder. It was my first camcorder. Yes, I also thought it was me being a beginner and could not use it properly. Now that I read the reviews...it is the camcorder that is bad.
