Is 1080i & 1080p good enough for you? If so, then the 606 is what it is. All DVD that played on low-end players will be converted to 1080i provided you use HDMI cable connection to your LCD HDTV. Any blu-ray or 1080p will be supported as is provided you use HDMI to your TV also...I love the 606, excellent sound and video for the money spent, can't beat.

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

Yes, and I happen to like the camera. But you can upgrade to more MP now at a low price...It's worth it for better quality

Generally yes. The picture quality is excellent. equivant to a good DVD. Sound quality is also excellent without any humming or self generated background noise. However, I noticed that if I place the camera on a table for example and there is something off to the side but in the view of the camera, the auto focus will become confused and the person being filmed is then out of focus. Also, while they tout 120 minutes of recording, the best I've gotten without a re-start is about 70-minutes. ed

The cnet video review was especially great - it shows a lot its features really well. I hope some more in-depth reviews come out soon. And I still haven't seen any reviews on the other cameras I'm considering, so I guess I have a long way to go. Of course, none of them are available to purchase yet. The frustrating part is every day I come across situations where I could use a camera like that! Oh well....

What about the picture quality? My TV is coming in a few days and the HDMI ports and all the other stuff is not a problem for me. Im just concerned about the picture because the store didnt have a floor model to look at.

I'm more concerned with the image quality issue. They're getting 12 MP onto a really tiny sensor. The pixel density is 43 MP per square CM. That's really pushing it. Serious cameras (like DSLRs) tend to be under 5, sometimes even under 2. They use way bigger sensors, up to the size of a 35 mm picture, for a similar or not-much-higher pixel count. On paper this camera is exactly what I need, but I'm going to wait for some reviews before I put my money down for one. (Shouldn't have to wait too long, fortunately.)

T.C. Thanks so much for a really thorough and helpful post. I'm far from a videophile, given my age (58) and thus waning eyesight, so as long as I see the screen and it has good clarity, that's enough. The additional bells and whistles would constitute decreasing returns to scale for me given my eyes being unable to appreciate the greater sharpness.

My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation. I've looked at and compared both sets at Sears and at Best Buy and the Samsung had the best picture quality by far. In fact at as little as 5 feet away I had a difficult time seeing any difference between the model in question and several other 1080p models hanging next to it. I know a lot depends upon the quality of video feed the stores are using for the demo models on display. This is only my opinion and I know that can vary greatly for the person to person. So, take it for what its worth. Hopefully others can add their observations to the discussion.

Yes, but honestly the image quality suffers. I don't ever use them for that reason.

Hi; The picture quality is great. I feel the optical qualities of this camera are superior.

Dear CustomerMinimum 200dpi resolution picture is perfect for quality. Still if you have any confusion

I use a converter and get really good picture quality. Is it top end? Don't know but to the naked eye it looks great.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

Its good to be happy with it but if you see the image quality of the dSLR then you feel the deferant,,as my experience in camera and photography rarely I need large mega pixel , but I need Image Quality,the most important is Pixel Density Not Higher MP.Think why people buy dSLR and carry it with lots of lens?

Well let me put it this way, you are blowing up the image to fit with no more data available. That said SD willalways look like crap on a larger screen, that is a fact of life. I dont find this tv to be any worse or better then my Sharp or my Panny. Bottom line, blow up a 35mm negative and a 8 x10 negative to a poster and guess which will look better, same thing here.
