When I was surf the web, I accidentally find this super rare Samsung SV-D300 mini DV camcorder (also one of Samsung's first mini DV camcorder ever in the world, alongside the SV-D100 (which can be seen in Samsung Innovation Museum) which is so rare, it's only available in Korea btw). The price for that camcorder I found online is 65,000 KRW (45,83$), which is somehow super cheap.

I think this camcorder was originally made for 1 purpose: Samsung's response to Sony VX1000!

Please share your thoughts if you can (also share the original manual for this pls!)

DankPods (in 2000s): Hey Mom & Dad, I want this freaking cool computer!

Mom & Dad: No, that too expensive, you are wasting so much money on a useless products (our family already have a computer, so you are spending money in a wrong way).

DankPods: begging to buy it.

Mom & Dad:

"refuses asap"

Smasnug literally make watches before Smasnug Gear!

The HDV format was originally developed by JVC and then supported by Sony, Canon & Sharp. During the development of this format, JVC introduce the HD10U in 2004 (I think the Japanese version of this thing: the GR-HD1 & the Korean version: the GR-HD1KR) which release in late 2003) - which considered as the first HDV camcorder ever made (even though the camcorder didn't have a HDV logo or HDMI (the camcorder itself using Component or FireWire (IEEE 1394) to output 720p)) rather than later models made for consumers by Sony & Canon, which did including a HDMI port & 1080i video recording.

Although the HD10U/GR-HD1 is the 1st gen HDV camcorder, the video quality is still impressive even in today's standard btw.

Thank you!

I made it so you can download the picture & then print it into stickers so you can customize your camcorder in anyway you like!

if you customized it, please share me the results!

This thing is so rare, I think it's exclusively made for Japanese market or something else?

And the color combination somehow reminds me about Oshi No Ko or Steven Universe!! (I will keep this tape btw to preserve it).

Cyber-shot M1/M2 instead of Handycam DCR-PC55 (because the Handycam is more expensive 🤣🤣🤣)

I want a camcorder that easy to use, can record video at full HD & easy to customizable, so I searching in Google & it's suggest Samsung SC-HMX20C. I definitely know that this one is really expensive when found it online, but I still want to own it. (If I have that, I will decorate/custom the camcorder to fit with my hobby & style).

Pet peeve: need a dock to use HDMI & AV port.

So please share your thoughts on this camcorder & suggests me which place sell that model please!

In the camcorder history, there was a lot of camcorder models that have the design like a picture camera or digital still camera.

The most noticeable models is probably the Canon CV11 (which also known as ZR in US or MV100 in Europe) & Canon Optura/MV1.

(I forgot to talk about Sony Handycam SC5 series (SC5, SC7,...) & the RCA FunFlix (made by JVC)).

In fact: the Canon CV11 is the 1st camera in the history that uses folded type lens (or periscope style lens) to make the camcorder as slim as possible + still maintain optical zoom lens (11x) (Minolta bring that technology to digital camera in the 2000s with the Dimage X).

What do you think?

I saw some people having camcorders that didn't have lens mount like for example: I have a Canon iVIS DC300 (DC310) that didn't came with a lens thread to attach wide angle lens or telephoto converter. Help me found a way to diy a lens thread for camcorders didn't have it please!

I need to find a perfect 3.5 mm AV cable for this Canon camcorder I bought last Sunday, the camcorder itself it's working fine, but the problem is the AV out port it's a little bit to find & only 1 type of 3.5 mm to RCA AV cable that work well with this camcorder (since the pinout for 3.5 mm AV jack (TRRS) is different because of device & usage (the ground can be in the ground (S) or in the 3rd ring).

Help me pls (i didn't have the original cable).
