Samsung W200

The Samsung W200 is a waterproof pocket Interent camcorder with excellent low light performance.

Excellent in low light ; Underwater filter ; Good waterproofing and toughness specifications

Digital zoom ; Few manual controls

In many respects, Samsung's W200 is just another toughened, waterproof pocket Internet camcorder. But it is equal to the best in its specifications in this area. It also offers the best performance in low light that we've seen in any camcorder costing...

Samsung W200 waterproof / rugged 1080p camcorder review

It's a respectable underwater offering for the price, but true argonauts are probably better off spending more for something that's constructed for serious abuse.

Samsung HMX-W200

The Samsung HMX-W200 is one of the few pocket camcorders that can survive falls and capture underwater video, but with video quality that doesn't live up to its 1080p promise and some other issues, you can do better.

Waterproof to ten feet and drop-proof to 6.5 feet. Records in 1080p or 720p resolution. Uses microSD memory cards. Standard mini HDMI connector.

Poor video quality. Jittery when zooming. Issues with controls. Flip-out USB plug-in connector is recessed and difficult to maneuver in some computers.

Samsung W200 Rugged review: Samsung W200 Rugged

Samsung W200 Rugged

The ; produces very good video, has solid sharing and editing software, and has a couple of handy features including a pause button.

Some of the W200's shooting options and durability features aren't very useful.

The Samsung HMX-W200 might be a little less impressive than its specs, but it's still a very good rugged minicamcorder for the money.

Samsung HMX-W200

One of the best we've seen in its price range, delivering sharp video with vivid colors.

Clear, sharp videos" for a compact; User-friendly menu for beginners

Grip could be improved upon; Buttons are unresponsive

Waterproof ultracompact camcorders have been flooding the market over the past year, so it’s fair to say the Samsung HMX-W200 has its good share of competitors. Surprisingly, the W200 held off the other camcorders in its price range by putting up...
