It's not HD, but so what?

I've said before that I love my Samsung SC-MX20. I must, given that I spend so much time writing this blog to help those of us who have one.

But I've heard a lot of complaints. One of the biggest is "it's not an HD camera! Why did you waste your money! Buy an HD!"

There are a lot of HD camera's out there now, including a couple by Samsung, the Flip, and many others. But how many of these really produce a quality HD picture? How good is the color and image quality compared to the Samsung SC-MX20? Not many. And even if it is HD, what difference does that make if all you are doing is taping monk shots to post on YouTube? Hardly any.

If you are looking to make professional quality videos, like something you'd see in a movie theater, then the Samsung SC-MX20 is not for you. Most camera's aren't for you, including most HD camera's you can afford. You really shouldn't expect professional quality video from a camera you can buy at Best Buy or Wal-Mart.

I didn't start this blog to advertise the SC-MX20. I don't work for Samsung, or anyone related to them. I bought what I thought was a good camera only to find it had issues. In fact, I probably won't buy another Samsung, they just aren't that good at making cameras. But I have it now, and I've figured out how to fix some of the issues and I'm sharing the fixes with you.

If you don't like the picture you get with this camera, there's not much I can do to help you. And I'm not going to argue with you. It's not that great of a camera. But it is a good camera for recording your average middle class family memories. That's what I use it for and with the fixes that I've come up with along the way, I'm happy with it.

So, in that sense, I'm happy to help you too. If you're looking to get a perfect picture from this camera, I can't help you, but if you are willing to settle for a good picture that is suitable for saving your family memories, then that's what I'm here for.

Ask me. What can I help you with?
