| The HMX-U10 is the ideal solution for anyone looking for ultimate portability and ease of use in an HD camcorder. The HMX-U10 offers full-HD video recording with 1920x1080 resolution. The HMX-U10's 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor also gives you the ability to capture impressive 10-megapixel digital still images, all which can be reviewed on the camcorder's clear, 2-inch LCD screen. At 56mm x 103mm x 15.5mm, and weighing just 95g including the battery, the HMX-U10 is ultra-compact with an ergonomic design that breaks free of the traditional look and feel of pocket-sized camcorders. Its sleek frame is accentuated by a wave-design that angles the body of the camcorder at seven degrees, allowing users to grip the camcorder more comfortably, reducing any related stress on the wrist or arm.
The new HMX-U10 also boasts boast several unique features which differentiate it from the competition and makes video recording even more enjoyable for consumers. Such features include Samsung's built-in intelli-studio software, animated thumbnails, and a versatile charging system.
No longer do you need to worry about being near a home computer in order to edit or share video. The HMX-U10 features Samsung's play-edit-sharing program called intelli studio. The camcorders' built-in intelli-studio program allows consumers to turn any computer into a mobile studio, giving them the ability to edit and play their video without having to install supporting software. Sharing is also simplified using intelli-studio as the program takes the hassle out of uploading content to popular video sharing Web sites. For example, a one-touch "upload" button, available directly on the HMX-U10, provides a direct connection to YouTube, further reducing the number of steps needed to upload footage. In addition, the camcorders also allow basic on-camera editing, including the ability to split video files. |

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this camera and I can honestly say, "I don't get it". some people said there were lipsync issues, lousy video and bad still shots. I have put this little HD camcorder through it's paces and have had no issues at all. Is it the best camera out there? No, but it is far from terrible as some have said.
Easy to operate with some decent features and great quality. Now if you are expecting to get 500 dollars worth of camera for the 149.00 price point, then you will probably be disappointed. This baby takes better video than some full size vhs camcorders I had back in the day and I had to carry those on my shoulder. I'm sure the tech on the mini camcorders will get even better as time goes by but these minis are still pretty new.
I can definitely recommend this camera. |
The Product is Inexpensive!

Many consumers who commented on this product seems to be frustrated by certain aspects of the camera.
Although they are somewhat valid, I am not sure if they realize how much they have paid for the product.
Currently, this camcorder is selling for about ~$110 and this product does the perfect job for the price. The image is clear and it is very easy to use.
If you want to buy a camcorder with superior sound quality, etc, then you should upgrade to Samsung camcorders that are in the $500 range. If you want to spend less and just want to capture the moments at decent quality, this camcorder is it! |

I bought this camcorder a few weeks ago and initially was concerned that the video quality was choppy. Guess what? It was not the camcorder. It was the Apple quick time software I was using on my PC to view the files. Do not use Apple quick time for MP4 format video files - it STINKS.
I tried a couple of other viewing programs and the choppy issue was gone. The video quality on this flash camcorder is absolutely incredible and I already own a Canon full HD camcorder which I love. This little Samsung is a wonderful ultra compact full HD camcorder.
I don't know about the people who say the buttons are hard to use - unless you have big button fingers, they are intuitive and easy to use. I give this camcorder a 10 out of 10 for it's category. It's low light performance is not great but I doubt any in this category are - they have no flash and are designed for settings with adequate lighting. It has no zoom but it doesn't need one for my purposes and I don't think many/any in this category do.
I couldn't be much more pleased with this purchase. |

UPDATE as of 12/18/09: I still don't really have a big problem with this camcorder however the software that came with it has a major problem. i was trying to edit videos, spent about 30~40 minutes and the software froze on me and lost all the work i've done. i thought may be there's a problem with my computer so i worked at it again for about 30~40 minutes and the program froze again and lost everything again. very unhappy!!! Anyone else experience the same problem with the software?
I spent about a month researching for the right handheld camcorder for me. it came down to the new flip mino and this samsung. i just couldn't justify spending extra 50~60 bucks for flip mino over this samsung. fortunately i got this for $[...] and i noticed it went back up to $[...]. i was pretty nervous about the samsung because of all the bad reviews, especially on QVC website. but then again, it looked like people who bought on QVC sounded like they thought they were buying a digital camera and surprised at the fact that the picture quality wasn't as good. i think they probably would have written the same negative review if they bought the flip mino. (where's the flash? where's the camera function? no zoom? no macro?)
i read whole bunch of reviews about how hard it is to figure out how to use this thing... are you kidding me? i got this one yesterday, charged overnight and started using even without looking at any manual. really?!?!? is it that hard to browse through the menu and select the options and setting you like? is it that hard to press that little button with the red dot and the video camera icon? heck, they even made it so simple that once you connect the devise to your computer for the first time, it automatically downloads the software for you.
honestly, i just started using this today so my review might be premature but so far i have no problem with it and i'm glad i've decided to buy this one. my honest rating would probably 3 and half to 4 stars but decided to give 5 stars just to offset the 1 star reviews. |
