| The best way to relive special moments is by watching them in amazing high definition on your HDTV.
The best way to do this is with the SAMSUNG HMX-H106 camcorder. It offers 1920x1080 resolution which delivers breathtaking detail in brilliant color. It also includes 10x optical zoom so you can get close to the action and optical image stabilizer for blur-free video.
10x optical zoom
With its high quality 10x optical zoom lens you can get close to the action from a safe distance. Now you can see it all in perfect detail.
64GB SSD
The SC-HMX-H106 has 64 GB of built-in flash memory so you never miss anything. Samsung's SSD technology is faster than HDD, including quicker boot-up and read/write speeds which is required for the amount of data recorded in full-HD resolution. Samsung's SSD technology consumes approximately 1/8th of the power of a comparable HDD.
Full HD (1920 x 1080/60i or 30p)
Now you can watch your videos in full high definition. That means crystal-clear details, the sharpest picture quality available and brilliant color. The 1/4.5" CMOS imaging sensor boasts 2.2 mega-pixels and yields impressive light sensitivity to capture full HD video at 1920 x 1080 lines of resolution. Schneider lens
SAMSUNG camcorders use high performance Schneider lens, with extremely low distortion and astigmatic aberration tolerances, resulting in natural, accurate, compelling video.

 Amazing camcorder |

The Samsung HMX-H106 is freakin awesome. Coming off Sony Digital camcorders (one disk and one tape), this camera beats the crap out of that old technology. It's blazing fast, small and sleek, and easy to use. You can take a movie and play it back quickly and erase a clip you don't like. Try doing that with the other technology. It'd take forever. Here it takes no time. This thing will fit in your pocket (ok a large pocket) and is unobtrusive yet takes amazing HD video. I'm not a big filming buff and hate dragging equipment around on vacations that gets in the way of actually enjoying the trip so this is perfect. It makes you want to use it since its so small and easy to use.
I'd say the only negatives are no infra-red or built in video light. There will probably be such accessories forthcoming but for now, it's tough to take pics or movies in the dark. It does have a flash for photos though but you need some lighting present for the camera to focus properly.
Overall, highly recommended and would find it pretty much impossible to go back to discs or tapes or even hard drive and removable flash memory. I switched to Samsung TV's a while ago because they simply outdo the competition in offering the latest features in a friendly, sleek package...this is definitely another step in the right direction. |
Simply amazing product

| I purchased it to replace a 3 yr old Sony mini DV camcorder, and it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It is sturdy and compact (no moving parts other than auto lense cover); very easy to operate with great battery life; the HD video (can recored up to 12 hrs)it captured just blew me away... I am very pleased with it |
Great High Def SSD camcorder

| After dealing with 8MM tapes for 10 years (Sony Digital Handycam), I started investigating non-tape camcorders. Lots of inexpensive models to use from but I discoved the HMX-H106 at CES 2009. This is the first camcoder with Solid State Drive (SSD) technology. So why SSD as opposed to a Hard Disk Drive? SSD offers better performance, higher durability, is more lightweight, reduces power consumption and operates faster than a typical HDD. I've had the unit for about a month and have recorded approx 20 hours. The high def recordings and playback are superb. This unit comes with 64GB memory which means it holds hours and hours of high def videos. There are ONLY two negatives; 1. when I hit record, there's a delay of about 5 seconds before the zoom function can be used, 2. the camcorder comes with video editing software. It's not that intuitive to use and has crashed on Vista a few times already. In closing, at $899 it's steep but if you want high quality (high def) videos, this is what you're looking for. |
It's so Samsung!

| It's so Samsung. H series is the camcorder having the fundamental of camcorders the most among Samsung camcorders. Adopting the high capacity/performance SSD, they suggest a new criteria. Better thing is that they've focused on the fundamental of camcorders. Not just by various functions which they emphasized, by Full-HD videos based on the OIS lens, they make up their late start. |
SAMSUNG H-106, Great New Product... But be WARNED!

I have owned this Samsung HMX-H106 Camera for about 2 months and have enloyed using it. I like the ease of use and quality of the resulting picture... BUT there is a problem! I tried to use the included A/V cord to connect the camera directly to my HD TV and was surprised that the picture was in a blurry black and white! I double checked the connection at the camera plug and found that it would come in perfectly in full HD color if I pushed in on the connection plug and held it under pressure! Oh great, I'll just stand here and push the a/v cable into the camera plug so I can watch my video in color! I am quite sure it isn't simply the a/v cord that is bad but rather the plug on the camera itself.
BE WARNED! the Samsung "Customer Service" for this product is NON EXISTANT! full of "I'm sorry sir" and other scripted responses from their "Customer Service" people without any help for a defective product. I called the SAMSUNG customer Service (1-800-SAMSUNG) and was told that I would get a new a/v Cable sent to me at no cost. Thet are requiring that I eliminate the problem from being the a/v cord before they will allow me to send in the camera for repair. It has now been over 4 weeks and several return calls from me to Samsung and still no new a/v cable. To make things worse, the Samsung phone representative sounds like they are from a call center in India and simply cannot speak english well enough for you to understand.
Also, a few other items should be noted on the design of this product: No audio jack - you cannot listen to any playback of your recorded video from the camera without hearing it through the micro speaker near the off button. No external audio plug for recording either. No ability to use a camera light to shoot video in low light conditions, the built in light on the unit is only a flash for still pictures only. No accessories are available yet for this camera. |
