Samsung Flash Drive/SD Card HD Camcorder

Features

The elegant, compact Samsung SC-HMX10 lets you relive your favorite moments in widescreen high-definition.

Records to flash drive/memory card: With the 8GB flash drive, you’ll have built-in memory that prepares you to capture the unexpected. With an external slot for SD and MMC memory cards, you’ll always have options. Add memory, play videos, transfer images, music and documents quickly and easily using the memory type of your choice.

CMOS sensor: The SC-HMX10 features a 1/4.5” CMOS sensor with 1.6 megapixel resolution.

HD recording: Record the scene in 720p high-definition video and 16:9 widescreen movie format.

Zoom: Optical zoom magnifies subjects without sacrificing resolution—this camcorder features a 10x optical zoom. The 20x digital zoom picks up where optical zoom leaves off, stretching pixels so that your favorite part of the image fills the screen.

Pro-quality lens: The SC-HMX10 uses a Schneider lens, so what you see in the viewfinder is what you’ll capture.

2.7” LCD screen: The wide touchscreen LCD makes it easy to access key menu functions and frame important shots.

Electronic image stabilizer: This camcorder digitally compensates for distracting camera shake, distinguishing between unintentional and deliberate movement. You’ll appreciate the enhanced video—especially when viewing in HD.

HDMI output: With a single cable, you'll send a pure digital signal, audio and video, to your television to get the ultimate HD viewing experience. You can also connect using component, composite or USB.

Digital still mode: Use your camcorder as a camera to shoot crisp 1440 x 1080 pixel photos. This camcorder is PictBridge-enabled, so you can connect directly to a printer to print your photos.

Records in MPEG-4/H.264 format: This state-of-the-art format lets you save more high-quality video in less recording space. H.264 has already been adopted by a wide range of products including HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc, Xbox 360, PSP, iPod, Mac and more—sharing, posting and viewing your video will be a breeze.

I am happy with this camera
Review posted on Nov 27, 2007
82 out of 95 found this review helpful

The entire HD camcorder space is a huge mess of no standards.
This camera creates mp4.avc format files.
This recording standard is used by Sony PSP and almost every illegal P2P movie download out there.
I would comment that it takes a very current PC toplay this format/edit and export to various other formats using the software provided in the box, but you CAN burn this to a normal DVD and play it in your PS3. You can also use the SD card plug it into your PS3 and play it that way.

I recorded HD footage in my house at night with normal lighting conditions and it looked just fine on my 73' DLP mitsubishi TV via the inbox component cables.
Kinda lame that an HDMI cable is not provided considering they advertise this connectivity as a big feature for thiscamera.

I purchased this HA camera for $575 with no tax in store pickup here in Oregon. There just isn't another HD camera for this price and it is one of the smallest and easy to use among the camera's I demo'd at the store.

The other camera's may provide better picture, but I thought what I recorded at home was just fine and certainly better than my Sony DCR-PC1 that has served me well for over 9 years.
