Samsung blends value with a reasonable level of image quality and features in this tidy little camcorder package.
The Samsung HMX-R10 boasts decent image quality and some useful manual features to lift it above the level of other pocket internet camcorders. But, most amazingly, it can be purchased for just £230. At this price, all of its shortcomings can be...

A fun, versatile and affordable HD camcorder with a design twist
Compact and ergonomic ; Good all-round performance ; Responsive touchscreen
5x optical zoom too small ; Poor software interface

Will a unique design and HD timelapse mode be enough to make this pocket-sized shooter stand out from the crowd?
Neat and compact, and blessed with the features to make movie recording fun

Camcorders can be ten-a-penny in terms of design, but if you're looking for something a little bit different, the Samsung HMX-R10 HD recorder could be suitable for you…..
The £350 that the Samsung HMX-R10 cost on its release was too much – but the price has since become a bit more reasonable at £260. Whilst I still wouldn’t put this camcorder in the “bargain” bracket yet (although it’s certainly approaching it), there’s...

A novel, tiny camcorder, that's well worth a closer look
Unique design, great to handle, good HD pics
Slow mo function is average, takes some getting used to
Expert review by (channel5.com)
The world's smallest full-HD camcorder, the Samsung HMX-R10 is a CMOS-based Full HD camcorder that sports a 2.7-inch LCD monitor and a lens that's angled up at 25 degrees. It also has a 5x optical zoom and a slow-motion record function that can record...

Samsung HMX-R10 HD
Very compact; above-average feature set including slow-motion movie record.
No lens protection; touch-screen manual controls difficult to use; lots of noise in low light video; slippery body; no mic and headphone jacks or accessory shoe.
The Samsung HMX-R10's plentiful shooting features and fine-quality HD video for its class--at least in good lighting--make it a very good compact HD camcorder. However, its design definitely isn't for everyone.
Expert review by : Joshua Goldman (cnet.com)
Samsung may not be a go-to camcorder brand in the U.S. like Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and JVC are, but at least it's trying to differentiate its lineup. The HMX-R10 is a perfect example. It's compact and reasonably priced for a full HD camcorder (though...

Samsung offsets some of the HMX-R10 camcorder's shortcomings (like poor low-light sensitivity) with pretty smart design: The angled lens promises comfier shooting, and the swiveling...
Smart design: The lens is angled up at 25 degrees to make it more comfortable to use. Slick, swiveling 2.7-inch touchscreen is a terrific command center. Lots of manual and creative controls — like image sensitivity and frame rate. Records to SD/SDHC...
Poor low-light sensitivity. No headphone or external microphone jacks. Stills and video a bit noisy. No lens cap or hand strap
