Samsung SC-MX10 Flash Memory Camcorder with 34x Optical Zoom (Silver) Buy Now

I don't have a lot of complaint with the physical aspects of the camera (the size is nice, the controls work well) or with the mid-range quality of the picture (it's a cheap camera so I wasn't expecting crystal-clear video all the time). However, the power issues are really disappointing. The especially frustrating part is, I've used it so little, by the time I discovered the severity of the issue, I'm completely out of the warranty period. The first signs of trouble were a blinking charge light instead of solid. The camcorder wouldn't turn on at all after that. I got a replacement battery from ebay and the blinking disappeared and it seemed to be charging properly. A quick test seemed to verify it was working. However, I went to shoot some video and within 10 minutes of recorded time, the camera was dead as a doornail. Clearly to me, the camcorder is defective, but I've been unable to get any help with it since I'm outside of the warranty period. If anyone has a possible solution, let me know. With the widespread power failures of these models, however, I can't recommend any Samsung product from this line.Get more detail about Samsung SC-MX10 Flash Memory Camcorder with 34x Optical Zoom (Silver).
