Editorial note

The Samsung VP-D371 camcorder stands out for its interesting features, including a 34x optical zoom and a 1200x digital zoom, allowing for precise detail capture, even from a distance. The built-in image stabilizer is a major asset, ensuring sharp videos and photos, even in motion. Additionally, the night mode offers the ability to take quality shots in low-light conditions, which is particularly appreciated by users wanting to film in various environments. However, the product also has notable drawbacks. The image sensor resolution, limited to 0.8 MP, may compromise image quality compared to more modern camcorders. Similarly, the 2.7-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 112,000 pixels may seem limited for detailed viewing. The lack of features such as PictBridge and video-S inputs/outputs restricts connectivity options, which could frustrate users seeking easier integration with other devices. Finally, while the weight of 410 g is reasonable, it can become tiring during long shooting sessions. In terms of performance, the user experience is overall positive, with a score of 75. The performance, while satisfactory, receives a score of 70 due to the low resolution of the sensor. The battery life is deemed adequate, with a score of 80, while the product's modern and sleek design receives a score of 78. However, the limited features result in a score of 65, and the value for money is fair but may raise hesitations, with a score of 70. Overall, the Samsung VP-D371 is a camcorder that will meet the basic needs of users but may not satisfy those looking for superior performance and image quality.
