Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Small
Cons: If you try to register this on the Samsung website, an SC-DX205 camcorder is not listed in the selections. Tried DVD camcorders, memory camcorders, HiDef, Hi8 but no SC-DX205.
The other frustration is the battery. It states it is an IA-BP80WA but when you try to get any replacement that references this battery, you will likely find that it does not have a slot that the camcorder clip uses to hold it in place. The slot/notch is near the terminal on the thin side. Replacements I have seen are smooth - no notch. Either there are multiple types of IA-BP80WA out there or the battery replacement mfgs are way wrong. These batteries are so small a purchaser cannot always see if there is a notch. Having a battery that somewhat fits, but could damage the camcorder clip, is unnerving as well.
Other Thoughts: The downloadable manual is a whopping 145+ pages.

Pros: Cheap, Light, good zoom & lens, writes to SD and DVD-r
Cons: Weak thin battery, zoom is too fast, takes forever to load to the DVD-r media, only writes mp4's to sd.
Other Thoughts: If you want to take some quick shots with this to DVD-r forget it, it takes up to 5 mins to load a DVD-r, everytime you shoot! Also the battery is only good for about 30 mins, and DVD-r's in fine mode are only 27 mins max! Good for quick mp4 shots to mp4, but that all!

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: The camera now makes a rubbing sound as you film video. I have owned the camera for 5 months, and shot about 2 hours of video on it. When you play back the video you hear creak... creak.... creak... etc about every 3 seconds.

Make sure your battery is charged or plugged in during file transfer!

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Decent low light performance. Good optical zoom, standard features.. nice to have option to go from DVD to flash memory. Sound is excellent.
Cons: When you transfer files, and the power runs out, your files will be corrupted. Took 22 hours for a good software tool to recover them from the disk afterward, and now those files dont work, at least for now.
Somewhat grainy on high quality on a computer playing to TV (720p output Avivo codecs).
