jannas 0 #1 January 8, 2004 I´ve heard all about sony being the only thing good enough for jumping, and I´ve heard about canon and jvc´s f.up after skydiving with them. But I´ve never heard anything about samsung from other sydivers? Are they any good? At the local airport the hav a advertisment monter with samsung stuff where they rolled a film with a skysurfing team using samsung camera and it looked good enough to me. Could it be that also samsung is good enough for jumping? The reason I´m asking is because there´s a local store selling a samsung VP-D590i at quite a large discount.... /Jan from sweden Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jannas 0 #3 January 8, 2004 yeh I read that one, and I read as far as to notice the comments: it's nice, even a dv-in..... except that little thing that sometimes makes life so frustrating.... i have quite 200 jumps with it..... So it seems to me that the only thing this guy don't like about it is that it lacks a led. So what about a model that has one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volkerschuh 0 #4 January 8, 2004 I don't even know one samsung camcorder. Just remembered what i read. Apart from that, every skydiver I asked before i was buying one, said SONY. Don't know, but must be something true in that, don't think? Volk Air Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jannas 0 #5 January 8, 2004 yea.. mabe better to be safe than sorry. But it would be nice to find some competition, there´s always a cheaper better alternative when buying other stuff.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WayCool 0 #6 January 8, 2004 How did we find out Sony was so good for jumping? I've had a little bit of experience with Samsung Digi stills cameras and the quality seems very good. Although I have not jumped with them. Who will take the chance? Worst case is you loose a couple hundred bucks and sell second hand to a non jumper. -Then you by a Sony Stay Cool http://www.waycool.com.au Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
