Good Points: There are none
Bad Points: Too many to write about. DO NOT BUY
General comments: My Samsung VP-DC161 regularly crashes or says disk error / disk not loaded when a DVD is in. First broke in a week and this one has just broke 5 days out of warranty. It now seems I've lost my sons Communion I recorded on Sunday.
Hopefully Argos may exchange for another model?

I bought the Samsung VP-DC161 as a panic purchase. It seemed great value and so flexible with the DVD's. The first Camcorder broke within a week. The second one annoys me ever time I use it. The LCD screen is so bad you can hardly see what you are recording on it. I am now going to throw it away and write it off as a mistake purchase. REALLY, don't waste your money on it.

The focus on my Samsung VP-DC161 never worked properly. Sent it for repair under warranty just before it expired. Used it once for 2 minutes after the repair and now it has completely frozen and Samsung and Comet don't want anything to do with it even though it hasn't worked since the repair under warranty. Estimate 10 hours use in total from new (have had it for over a year). Might as well throw it against a wall. £250 wasted.

I am so glad I found this website as I thought it was me having a technophobic moment with my Samsung VP-DC161 camera! This product is absolute rubbish. Please, please do not buy it - it is an utter waste of money.

Absolute rubbish and Sam sung are not interested in assisting you in any way other then giving you the number of a company to arrange repairs and when you phone it you cant speak to a technician they do not have one on site I am absolutely dissatisfied and disgusted.

Purchased the Samsung VP-DC161 especially for a holiday to America and Canada which we have just returned from and was absolutely rubbish!! Frustrating, annoying and a complete and utter waste of time. Low and behold another couple on the same trip had the same camera and were having same problems. Only purchased in May and this was the second time we used it!! Now it has had to go back in for repair!! DO NOT PURCHASE IT!!

Brought the Samsung VP-DC161 camcorder this morning, wanted an idiot proof one so that anyone could jump on and use it. Nice and easy to use but very poor with regards to battery life. The shop assistant said the battery life when recording would be around four hours (users manual states fifty-five minutes), well have charged it up four times today alone and the average recording time was fifteen minutes or thereabouts, absolute waste of money if you need it for a day trip or similar. To use ...
