I got the Samsung DigitalCam SC-DX103 from retail for $277 (without tax) to record my brother play the piano @ the Manchester Music School. There was a $680 Sony HandyCam with the Dolby 5.1 surround sound and really high quality video recording, but I didn't want to pay $400 extra & I doubted if the sound quality (my DigitalCam has Dolby Stereo sound) would be significantly better on the Sony Handycam because most of the costs would go to the video quality & not audio. So, for my purpose of recording a concert, I thought that this should suffice.
It did - there was a bit of booming in the sound quality when I recorded myself playing piano but it wouldn't matter. At first, I thought that the camcorder might actually be terrible buy - because after I made several test tries I played the videos from the camcorder & the sound was awful. Actually, the camcorder's speakers are mediocre & they sound terrible when they play the piano recording, but the actual recording's audio is not bad -->

About a month ago, I bought the Samsung SC-DX103. Unfortunately, it was defective. It froze on me several times the first day I tried it (my daughter's senior prom) and then the battery heated up. Eventually, after several attempts, it just wouldn't work and a black screen would appear on the screen and the viewfinder. Walmart did not have anymore in stock so I contacted Samsung directly regarding an exchange but was told they'd need to repair it under warranty. However, if they were to exchange it, I would have to waive the warranty and would be shipped a refurbished one.
I paid for a brand new product and was not about to compromise that by having the defective one repaired and returned to me. I could see the product needing repair if something happened after years of use but not if it was defective in the first place.
Needless to say, I do not have memories of the two major events in my daughter's life (senior prom & high school graduation).
Many apologies for the long-winded note,
