Samsung HMX-R10

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...

Review: Samsung HMX-R10

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...

Samsung HMX-R10 HD review: Samsung HMX-R10 HD

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.

Samsung HMX-R10 HD review

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...

Review: Samsung HMX-R10 Camcorder

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
