Comment:  Samsung is the latest entrant into the booming mini camcorder market. Its HMX-U10 follows in the footsteps of Sony's MHS-PM1, but goes one step further. The PM1's video resolution of 1,440x1,080 was a big step up from the 720p sensors found in most min...
Bottomline:  A good design with some fun features, but its sensor generates lots of noise in lowlight conditions and 1080p video is bloated. ...

Comment:  PC users are also treated to embedded software. This allows super-fast uploading, as the software opens as soon as you connect the cam to a PC. It’s then a simple case of selecting the movies you want to post and pressing the one-touch sharing button....
Good:  Stellar stills and video. Ultra-comfortable to hold. USB charging
Bad:  Lack of HDMI port. Troublesome touch-sensitive controls. Impractical zoom
Bottomline:  Superb video and a comfortable design, but those fiddly touchscreen menus can make it an awkward customer ...

Comment:  Der genau definierte Knick im Gehäuse der Samsung soll die filmende Hand entlasten. Das Bedienfeld besteht aus drei richtigen Tasten zum Start von Aufnahme, Wiedergabe und zur Umschaltung in den Fotomodus. Darunter ist ein extravagantes, berührungsemp...
Bottomline:  Den Knick im Gehäuse hat die Samsung von den Camcorder- Schwestern übernommen. Das Bedienfeld ist neu in der Filmbranche, hier versteckt die U10 Zusatzfeatures wie Zeitraffer und eine Szenenauswahl.Thomas JohannsenTestredaktion Hifi Test...

Comment:  Samsungs kamera har bra funktioner och kan prestera hög bildkvalitet men användningen drar ner betyget. Det intressanta utseendet pÃ¥ U10 sägs vara för att ge en mer ergonomisk vinkel för handleden. Inställningarna är ovanligt rikliga med upplösni...

Comment:  The success of Flip’s pocket camcorders has seen a fair few manufacturers scrambling to grab a share of this potentially lucrative market. Many of us, it seems, quite like the idea of owning a product that lies somewhere between a cameraphone and a cam...
Bottomline:  The HMX-U10 is proof that beauty can only be skin deep. In terms of looks and design, it’s head and shoulders above many of its rivals, but a clunky touch interface makes this a frustrating device to use, and both still and video quality are disappo...

Comment:  The pocket camcorder market is as popular as ever, because people want a simple and easy way to record videos on the go. As this market continues to mature, people are expecting higher resolution videos and additional features without taking away the...
Good:  Takes still photos and HD video, Unique angled body design, Easyaccess SDHC memory card slot, More features than many competitors
Bad:  Overexposed video under higher light, Near cameraphonelevel photo quality, Cannot handle closeup content, Strange side placement of tripod screw
Bottomline:  Examining the Video Quality So, if the ability to take still photos is meant to be a secondary feature, surely the primary function of the HMX-U10 will be better, right? Unfortunately, I wasn’t exactly pleased with how the Samsung U10 did with high-...

Comment:  The pocket camcorder segment has caught the eye of Samsung, offering up their HMX-U10. It brings with it high-definition recording capabilities and plenty of other options. The U10 is similar in size to Creative's Vado HD and the Flip Mino HD, measuri...
Good:  Plenty of options
Bad:  Fixed focus lets it down, poor low light performance, no HDMI
Bottomline:  The Samsung HMX-U10 doesn't offer the simplicity of the likes of the Flip Ultra HD or the performance offered by Kodak's Zi8, but it does win on novelty factorsKey specsSD, SDHC...

Comment:  Pocket video cameras have come a long way since the early VGA Flip models, as demonstrated by the Samsung HMX-U10. It's the first we've seen to sport Full HD video recording (1920 x 1080 at 30fps), and quality is pretty impressive. Even in low light, n...
Bottomline:  Ever since the Flip introduced a new catagory into the video camera market, other companies have been chasing similar designs. Is Samsung's any better? ...

Comment:  Unlike most of the camcorders we tested this month, the U10 has plenty of image customisation options, such as the ability to record in black and white and a sport mode for capturing fast-moving scenes. While the U10 takes acceptable still images, videos..

Comment:  Samsung’s HMX-U10 is the latest rival to the Flip, and comes packing 1080p video quality and stills imaging to the budget camcorder war. But is it enough to dethrone the current champ of cut-price camcorders? Find out in our Samsung HMX-U10 review.C...
Good:  Small, good quality video, takes stills
Bad:  Not that user friendly, poor quality stills
Bottomline:  Impressive specs, but hampered by lacklustre performance...
