Samsung 8GB Hybrid SD/SDHC Camcorder - SC-HMX20C Review

SUPURB VIDEO QUALITY

"I use this camcorder to take short high definition video's of my son and my co-workers and I share my high definition video's at various high def video share websites. This camcorder doesn't play back in 1080p only 1080i so I bought a networked media tank which plays my mpeg-4 files in full 1080p. I can really tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p on my 32 inch hdtv The 300 fps video is standard def. It would have been nice if 300fps was high def but it's standard def. Took a video of the full moon. Had to adjust exposure because moon is too bright (not a problem) another drawback is you can't upload 1080x 60i on video share websites only 1080 x 30p"

Samsung 8GB Hybrid SD/SDHC Camcorder - SC-HMX20C Review

WOW! Supurb 1080p color and quality!

"I had purchased a Panasonic HDC-SD9 only toreturn it due its oversaturated colors. In lookingfor a suitable replacement and wanting a 1080p camcorder; it was not long before I had found the Samsung SC-HMX20C with BeachAudio's great [...] prices. I am floored by the quality of this camera (video quality, realistic colors, ease of use, and a pretty good 8MP camera to boot). I would highly recommend this camcorder to anyone looking for great video quality at a reasonable price."

Samsung 8GB Hybrid SD/SDHC Camcorder - SC-HMX20C Review

This camera rocks

"This extremely portable, totally easy to use camera has not left my side since I bought it. I can bring it anywhere and everywhere - the 1080p footage it kicks out (which is so easy to view, I can hook it up directly to my TV, view it through my PS3 or on the computer) is beautiful, the slow motion option never fails to impress (just make sure whatever you're shooting is completely in focus before you hit record).



I've been shooting great outdoor footage - lots of slow motion at the beach, etc. I've also recorded

staged table readings, birthday parties.

It works great under low light conditions. Also, even though it's advertised as having no external mic input - it absolutely does (the built in mic is pretty good, but having the option to use wireless mics or a more high end mic is a nice plus)



Because of it's small size, it's a little more sensitive to movement (it's easy to pan too quickly). The cradle is also a bit awkward (it sits at a strange angle)



These two small cons pale in comparison to what an outstanding camera this is - just unbelievable for the price."

What a great full HD camcorder!

"SC-HMX20C provides a friendly user interface. It is compact and handy. The video quality is great and works well with my 47" full HD LCD TV. The 8GB internal memory is just fine with about 70 minute video recording. SC-HMX20C is affordable compared to Sony's expensive full HD camcorders with hard disks."

Pro Photog Buying Another Great Samsung

"3 fairly respected Photographers and I traveled to the North Pole to film a short documentary about the under abundance of Killer Whale in that region. After a great deal of planning, much of which was dedicated to agreeing upon which equipment to bring, we settled on bringing the best cameras for our job. We needed the outstanding features set that the Samsung had to offer, such as its image stabilization and the high quality surround sound that is able to capture and separate discreet sounds. We liked that we could easily save hours of our tedious work with the Micro SD Memory Cards-a storage system that far surpassed anything in the market even above Kodaks price point.This lightweight High Definition Camcorder is hard to beat. You might have to look at professional digital camcorders that sell for at least $1600 or more. Even the still photography from this camera is excellent. We often take some of our best prints from this camcorder and, more often than not, use our photos for publication in internationally recognized media outlets.This KODAK HMX20C Digital Camcorder is a world class leader and is friendly enough to allow brand new users to access many function with ease. Touch Screen Technology is quite helpful and for many attractive reasons. Even though it's light and easy to use, it's also durable and can take a licking-from my own personal experience with dropping them. You will get a GREAT Bang for your Buck with this Camcorder that I HIGHLY recommend to everyone from the enthusiast to the Professional level. The SAMSUNG website at www.samsungusa.com is full of helpful information for this specific camcorder. The software, included with the purchase of this GREAT Samsung Digital High Definition Camcorder, is complete with everything from cropping and edition photos to producing your first Documentary-just the same way that WE did it. Have a blast with this incredible Camcorder that will be in the family for many years. Simply take it out of the box and set it up, on the included docking station, and allow it to charge. Then off you are. Good Luck to you! And please keep in touch with your videos, photographs or even a plain email. I look forward to hearing from new photographers, around the world, that wish to open a friendly discussion about this Camcorder from Samsung. I hope that this Review was helpful in some way[@]There is so much more to share, however I am limited on space here. Thanks for your understanding.Peter V. [@]"
