Samsung SC-HMX10

By Lori Grunin (cnet.com)

Relatively sharp video ; manual exposure controls ; can focus fairly closely

Sluggish autofocus ; exposure problems ; mediocre low-light quality and performance ; no hardware image stabilization ; annoying touch screen ; potential software problems

Despite an attractive price and some decent features, the frustrations of the Samsung SC-HMX10 outnumber its rewards.

"Great Camera For The Money!"

Outstanding, entry-level HD camera for the mo... 

Vivid, sharp colors. Lightweight and very mobile.

Unable to really record indoors with minimal light. Requires a lot of artificial light indoors to record correctly.

"Best memory card based HD camcorder for the money."

By Uniblab321 (cnet.com)

I love it. The videos played through the HDM... 

Excellent 720P video. With Quicktime and ffdshow installed I was able to play the video right off of the memory card. Just change the file extension from MP4 to AVI. Sony Movie Studio did a great job of processing the video into any format.

It only has a 10X optical zoom. The digital zoom only works when the image stabilization system is off. If you don't like a touch screen to control a device you may not like it. Internal memory is slow to transfer files via the USB port vs SD-HC.

Manufacturer's Description

Be prepared to capture that elusive moment anytime, anywhere with the SC-HMX10 High Definition Camcorder, It packs a 10x optical with 20x digital zoom and 1.5M pixel CCD with Electronic Image Stabilizer for remarkably clear pictures, viewed in the 2.7" LCD display. The memory can be expanded via the SD/MMC slot. It offers USB 2.0/ PictBridge for printing stills.
