Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung's titanium-finished DVD-V3500 DVD/VCR combo is perfect for favorite movies and music, featuring VHS recording and playback, high-end component-video DVD outputs, built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding, and compatibility with JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs, which makes it easy enjoy a slideshow of digital pictures right on a television.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-V3500 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The VCR delivers hi-fi stereo sound and quasi-S-VHS (QSPB) playback, which lets you view S-VHS cassettes--normally only playable on high-end S-VHS machines--in standard VHS resolution. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs (for DVD only) help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Another handy feature is EZ-View letterbox eliminator, which makes it possible to watch full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs--even when you're watching widescreen DVDs. Supplied accessories include a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, instruction manual, and a remote control.

Add me to the list of unhappy Samsung campers .......2007-04-25

I bought this assuming that the DVD guts of all players would be pretty much the same, and wanted the convenience of having VCR and DVD in one component. I also assumed I could make video copies of DVDs, which seems like a pretty basic feature to have in a combo-unit --- but failed to check that the V3500 had this feature prior to my purchase (it does not). The DVD player is EXTREMELY poor at playing discs with any kind of defect or smudge marks, and when it hits a bad spot then you can forget it. I have discs that will play with minimal on-screen visible artifacts on other DVD players which cause the V3500 to hang-up so tightly that I've had to unplug the power cord to get it to come back to life. You cannot use fast-forward or search to skip over these bad spots and if you fail to stop play back at the first sign of trouble the unit locks up so that all remote functions are inoperative and you need to cycle power -- using the power switch, or pulling the power cord in some cases. Maybe newer Samsung combo models are better. I am not happy with this one.

Samsung Lover.......2007-04-21

I have always used the Samsung brand name for my electronic purchases. I was not sure what to expect from this item. The reviews were a bit conflicted as is my review. I have noticed at times my dvd's freeze and I have to press the stop button and then play for the dvd to resume playing. I have cleaned the dvd's but I believe it is the player. The VHS side plays very well, however you can not record from the DVD to the VHS and there are newer players that have that feature. I have had mine for a couple of years and am looking forward to a newer and more improved player.

bad, bad, bad.......2007-01-11

Do not buy it, it died soon after I bought it, gets stuck in loading, not worth at all

I agree--don't buy it........2005-11-23

My husband and I have an older version of this combo, and the DVD problems have been getting progressively worse until now it hardly will play DVDs at all. My husband is ready to run over it in the driveway. I have to bounce the remote signal off the wall to get it to work. We started having problems about 6 months after we bought it, but thought it was because of scratched rental movies. We will be replacing very soon!

A few years ago I purchased an earlier model Samsung DVD/VCR combo unit. I had no problems whatsoever. So, when I contemplated purchasing another unit for my bedroom, I decided to go with Samsung again because I figured that I wouldn't have a learning curve. And that was absolutely true. However, all of a sudden, the older unit started acting up, with the skipping, loading, stalling problems. And the amazing thing was that the unit continued to play CDs. Ah well, I thought, I got at least two years out of it. Shortly thereafter however, the combo unit in my bedroom began encountering the same issues. Annoyance isn't the word. Suffice to say that I will NEVER purchase another Samsung DVD product and I too am sorry that I didn't read reviews before I made the second purchase. It won't happen again.

- the Garmin iQue 3600 Auto Navigation Kit will charge as well as this item and has the added advantage of allowing you to use the Garmin 3600 as it was meant to be used...as a hands free GPS navigation system.

iQ3600 12 volt charger.......2004-01-06

This is the second 12 volt charger I've had. Both have blown fuses in my vehicle, then the units also blew something since they didn't work anymore. Garmin did send the second unit at no charge since its under warranty. I'm now calling for a third unit!!!

Poor quality adaptor.......2003-12-01

I bought this adaptor and found it makes a lot of noise when in use. So I asked for a replacement. The replacement does not make noise any more. But there is 10% chance it will blow your car's fuse.

Not bad.......2007-05-07

I previously used the auto-kit for my I-Que 3600 that used a weighted bag/stand that rested on the dash. This was okay but i did not care for how visible all the connection cords were and with a sharp turn the weighted stand would slide off the dash. I like this kit because it has a much cleaner appearance without all the cords showing. It provides good viewing with the ability to rotate the angle of the I-Que. The only problem is you have to be careful in connecting the IQue and then placing it into the mount because the connection can sometimes come loose. Once it is connected and mounted, though, it works great.

Great Digital Camera: Lightweight & High Quality.......2007-03-28

The Konica Minolta DiMage camera is one of the best consumer cameras on the market. My fiance and I have this digital camera and have taken thousands of photos with it and have been very satisfied with the camera.

We love taking pictures, especially of beautiful scenery from our travels. We often post our photos online for family and friends and consistently receive compliments on the quality and color depth of the pictures. You can see some of our travel photos and judge for yourself at GoSightsee.com.

The camera is very lightweight, making it easy to carry in a purse or pocket. We recommend getting a carrying case that clips onto your belt or pants to protect the preview screen from getting scratched. This is the one that we like: Konica Minolta Deluxe Case for Dimage X, Xi, XG, X31, X50 & X60 Digital Cameras The camera case is black and has a magnetic button clasp. You can carry an extra memory card in it as well. It's worth the few extra dollars to keep your camera in good condition for years to come.

The Konica Minolta DiMage camera is very small and sleek and looks cool. People even ask us about our camera while we're taking pictures! The preview screen is large compared to the size of the camera. We also liked that it came with a rechargeable battery (which charges fully in about an hour).

I highly recommend this digital camera!

Great small compact camera.......2007-01-21

I love this camera. My wife had the x50 and unfortunately I lost it while in a trip to DR. So I decided to buy another Minolta but this time upgraded to the x60 and its even better than my x50. The picture seems to be a little brighter and not as dark as the x50. But the camera is sexy and functional. I love the fact it can slip in my pocket and never be seen. But its also the reason I lost my first one because it is so small. But if you want a compact high quality digital camera, then the minolta x60 is for you.

Point and shoot at its purest.......2006-05-05

After some researched, I brought the Kinica Minolta X60 to served as my backup to my Canon S2 IS. X60 is a small, slim and lightweight camera that is perfect for a quick photo almost anywhere because you can stick this camera almost anywhere on you.

This camera is almost a purest high quality point and shoot camera you can buy with your money. Everything on it is on automatic modes of one sort or another. There are nine modes including the automatic which actually decide which mode is best for the photo. Most of the modes can be found in most digital cameras like "sports" or "landscape". A child can take a good shot with this camera and it is near perfect for any beginner who walk into the digital camera age with their eyes shut.

There are few small things you can do to adjust and adapt your camera each shot. White balance can be adjusted, ISO from 50-400 can be adjusted, drive mode can be adjusted and other minor features that this camera come packed with. There is even an "anti-shake" indictor if your shutter speed is too slow and your hand is shaking too much. Use a tripod says the computer. The camera also come with a movie mode which is pretty basic as well.

The housing of this camera appears to be hard plastic with a metal feel. It seem to be well built. The large 2.5 inch LCD screen seem to be most vulnerable to damage and this may be the camera's only physical weak link. Proper care and attention would be needed, a good camera case for example is a must. The large 2.5 LCD is very nice. But remembered that it serves as your viewscreen for all your shooting. The controls are bit on the small sizes. There is no way you can handled the controls of this camera with gloves for example. People with long fingernails will have an easier time then people without.

The camera unfortunately, is not powered by AA batteries but by NP-700 ion battery. It got a decent life to it but I would encourage anyone buying this camera to buy couple more for back up. Buy it from a third party since Minolta overcharged for their NP-700 outragously. On the other side, X60 uses SD cards for its storage.

The software that come with your camera is pretty decent sort. Some people will used it and others will not. It pretty subjective.

Overall, this is a very good camera that should meet the needs of most point and shoot crowds. The small size and weight allowed it be taken almost anywhere. Only danger to that is that you might even forget that you have it with you. The camera appears to be very reliable, somewhat rugged and shoot well. This is a computer driven camera and basically all you have to worry about is point and shoot!

THE PERFECT COMPACT CAMERA.......2006-04-27

I researched extensively before I purchased this camera. I read every professional and customer review I could. I compared features, sizes, prices, ratings, everything. I checked out the cameras in stores and online. Based on all of that info I finally decided on the Konica Minolta X60 5MP. After using the camera on an almost daily basis for several months now I am happy to say that I made the right choice.

I already had the HP photosmart 935 5.3MP which takes amazing photos, but it's fairly slow and it devours batteries. Also it is a more average sized camera. I wanted to continue using that camera for the more important, planned photos and special shots like fireworks and such. I wanted a second camera that was as compact as possible, easy and fast to use, with a large LCD display. I also wanted it to take great pictures without costing me a fortune.

I couldn't be happier with the X60. It is even smaller and more streamlined than it seems in photos, but the LCD is huge with very clear images. It is so fast that I can turn it on and off repeatedly to save battery life, but I don't really need to because it has such outstanding battery life. The sliding lens cover / power switch works wonderfully and it prevents the camera from turning on in your pocket, purse or case. Plus it doesn't have a bothersome telescoping lens to worry about and the zoom is great. It has every function and photo option that regular camera users could want with really easy to use buttons and menus. The buttons and lenses are all so perfectly situated that I never smudge my LCD or stick my finger over the lens. It is durable and obviously well made. I carry it in my purse every day in a super slim case without a single problem. I take so many more pictures now than I ever did before I bought the X60. The pictures are so beautiful! Always clear and crisp. A lot of the small cameras have problems with blurring because they are harder to hold still. Unless you are bouncing or shaking unreasonably for some strange reason, blurry pictures aren't a problem with the X60.

I adore this camera. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!

Fragile LCD...Terrible customer service.......2006-03-16

I did a fair amount of research before purchasing the Dimage x60. As far as form factor, I like it. The picture quality is good.

On my very first day of use the LCD fractured internally. It never left my hand or protective case. I took 15 pictures before it no longer worked.

When I contacted Konica Minolta customer service by phone, the seemed helpful. I really wanted to get it fixed by Christmas so on Dec 1st, to expedite the warranty repair I paid $39 for UPS Next Day Air. I called 2 weeks later to check status of the repair. They couldnt find it. The holidays came and went with no camera. To make a long story short, they never contacted me so I expected to receive it any day. In February, still no camera. I called again and they told me that I damaged the LCD. If I wanted it fixed that I would have to pay $147. I emphatically disagreed and they asked if I wanted to talk with a manager...YES I DO! I just kept going from voicemail to voicemail.

Never again will I give a company $1 that doesnt stand behind their product. I've had a Sony DSC for 5 years with NO PROBLEMS at all. I guess I'll just stick with what I know. It was an expensive lesson.
