Samsung SMX-C10

 

The Samsung SMX-C10 is a tiny, exotic looking camcorder whose size belies its substantial functionality. It's a direct competitor to pocket video cameras, many of which now record in HD. This unit's advantage lies in its superior flexibility and the...

The design on the Samsung SMX-C10 is unique to many other camcorders on the market

The small design may make it hard for users with large hands to hold and navigate

If portability, a large amount of memory and software to edit and share videos is important to you, the Samsung SMX-C10 is worth the price.

Looking for a cheap video camera

 

We were looking for a cheap video camera to record and analyse manufacturing processes. This camera serves the purpose. It is not the clearest video, but is very simple to operate and can run directly off of the ac adapter. It breaks the files up into...

Great for what I need....

 

I just need a camcorder that does basic home videos. I don't need anything extravagant by any means. This certainly does the trick. I have 3 dogs and film mostly them playing and romping around. I am very happy with the zoom, audio and how it feels in...

Consumer review by:

it's not a piece of garbage, just retarded and intelli" stuido is dumb.

 

first off, how do you come up with a design that places the lense upwards. being "originally pattened" or just Stupid. Why not make it a normal cam corder that you can point at something and know it is the target without looking at the veiw screen?...

Not bad

 

I only used this camcorder a few times, but its not bad. I liked it a lot. Its good to post youtube videos. Very easy to use and is Mac compatible. Picture quality could be a little better, but overall I would recommend it.

Excellent Value

 

I purchased this camera for my husband after a bit of research on the Flip and other "pocket" camcorders that use memory cards for storage. I was a bit reluctant at first but I found a great Black Friday deal for only $99 and thought "Why not?". I am...

Easy to use, multiple lighting settings, lightweight

No internal memory, no flash (low light setting works fine though)
