Summary
Don't let the small size of the Samsung SC-D453 Compact Mini DV Camcorder fool you -- this camera boasts enough features to please most consumers looking for an entry-level digital camcorder. Noticeably smaller than the SC-D353, the SC-D453 includes a 10x Optical/900x Digital Zoom lens, Back Light Compensation for tricky lighting situations, and a Digital Still Camera function, wherein you can snap VGA-quality digital stills to the camera's Memory Stick. And unlike the SC-D353, the SC-D453 includes a 2.5 Color LCD Monitor and color viewfinder. Slim and palm-sized, the SC-D453 is a robust, go-anywhere camera, perfect for point-and-shooters.
