waterproof???
from Tucson, AZ. USA
Nice little camera. The included software did not load. much less work. I took it in the water tree times. The third time one of the little doors that are suppose to keep the water out of the camera opened. The camera completely filled with salt water. The latch on the doors is a joke. The slightest touch and it opens. A ridiculously poor design for such an important aspect of what is the whole reason for purchasing it in the first place. An now.... The circus begins in an effort to get a refund or return it for an exchange. I definitely would not recommend it for anyone who wishes to take a camera in the water.
Great, even with a couple flaws

I got this unit particularly for its video capabilities, although it's just as good for still shots. I found the size and shape, with at least its small LCD screen most appealing. The rugged design means I can toss it into any bag or pocket without worrying too much about damage (no moving lens mechanism or protruding buttons, and it's even water resistant). Nice that it has an integrated male USB connector (potentially no cable necessary to connect to a laptop, for instance). My only dislikes are: 1) While Samsung managed to make the HDMI and memory card slot compartment accessible via a hatch on one side, the USB connector compartment hatch is on the bottom, rather than the other side. This means I must unscrew my small tripod mount bracket every time I want to to connect it to the computer for downloading. 2) Although it is a wide aspect ratio, Samsung accomplished this by cutting off the top and bottom of the image, rather than making it wide angle (compared to my old point-and-shoot still camera with video that this unit replaced). Also, this unit has a built-in, non-replacable battery (naturally, rechargeable by connecting to a computer or your own USB charger) . The jury is still out on whether this will be a problem later on.

Is a another fine product HMX-W300YN from Samsung a little recording and photo machine, good videos and pictures
Great value in a little package!
By LoPwr
Fantastic HD camcorder in a little package. I would have liked to see a better way to CHARGE the unit other than through a computer input. Maybe a AC cable for home or car charger! This item is packaged as a sports model and charging is important! I don't see see these options as accessories, WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? HAPPY CHARGING WHEN YOUR IN THE WATER OR ON THE SKI SLOPES
Fantastic!
By Sojjang
It works great. It's been abused and gotten underwater. Been in sand and still no problems.
