Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung SC-X300L Flash Memory Divx Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom and Wired External Camera
Customer Review: No stills?!?!? (edited: You CAN take still photos! WOOHOO)
Summary: 3 Stars
PROS: The camera is awesome for video. High resolution excellent quality and the "anti-shake" feature is the best I have seen. If you want VIDEO ONLY this is an excellent choice.
CONS:
1. NO internal memory was built into the unit that I bought. As far as I am concerned that is false advertising.
2. It will function as an MP3 player, video recorder, voice recorder, and external hard drive, BUT IT WON'T TAKE STILL PHOTOS?!?! I simply do not understand the marketing decision behind that. It would have to be a simple software/firmware adjustment in order to make it function as a camera but the brain trust at Samsung felt it more marketable to include MP3 functionality or even better, voice recording? As if I am going to leave myself voice memo's with it? Now I have to carry a second device if I want photos and I am not going to drop my iPod in favor of using a video camera to listen to music.
3. Battery life is not that great.
In conclusion I would give this 5 stars if it handled still photos and came with the advertised 1GB internal memory.
UPDATE: You CAN in fact take still photographs with this camera. See Below for instructions.
