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!- Read Guest's review (47 words)

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 ...- Read Guest's review (239 words)

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 ...- Read bubblewrapprincess's review (208 words and 1 comment)

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.- Read madasahatter's review (39 words)

Bought this camera just over a year ago so therefore it is out of guarantee. We have only actually used it for 34 minutes.
The only advice we get is to send it for repair which seems a waste of more money. I WISH I HAD SEEN THESE REVIEWS EARLIER. DO not BUY- Read Guest's review (60 words)

Buy the Samsung VP-DC161 and you will waste your hard earned bread. Absolutely rubbish battery life - expect 10-15 mins maximum. Autofocus is poor in terms of responsiveness. Grainy LCD, joystick operation confusing, menu is unintelligible.- Read johnxuster's review (50 words)

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?- Read Guest's review (62 words)

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.- Read Guest's review (141 words)

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.- Read Trotsky's review (80 words)
