What Others Say
GREAT
I paid $380.00 back in july, the video quality is just great, i will say awesome, I know that a lot of us are looking for something exellent when talking about HD, for me the video quality that this camcorder offers is exellent when recorded in 720p the video looks awesome, the 8gb hard drive included with it lets u record 90 minutes of video in 720p HD I bought a 16gb SDHC card and it takes 180 minutes of 720p HD video, what else u need?, I dont know about u but I have a samsung lcd 52" and when I play the video on it, it looks beautiful, you cant go wrong with this camera.
The software included works good and easy to use it, the only thing is that making HD DVDs is not that easy, but I bought several expensive softwares to make hd ... Read More
Awesome picture quality. Best bang for buck.
I'm another poster who purchased at Biglots for only $250. For this price, it has to be one of the best bang for buck video cams period!
720p HD video quality. Flash memory. Super small and light. What more can you ask for? Well, I wish it had a cold shoe,OIS instead of EIS.
If you buy this, it will literally take you 1minute or less to get the camera hooked up to your pc and transfer the video(video transfer takes longer depending on the length)to your pc. I did a short video of my pets outside our backyard. Watching the footage on my pc blew me away. then i edited and recorded to a standard dvd, watched it on a standard dvd player. Once again, I was blown away by the quality of the video.
Great HD camera for the money
Like a previous poster, I bought mine also at Big Lots for $250. For that price I am extremely satisfied. No wonder this made Oprah's favorite list last year. It's very easy to use (and I've used camcorders for over a decade starting with VHS-C), lots of features and the camera quality is wonderful outdoors. Indoors it's only ok but for a flash recorder at this price, it's very very good. Certainly better than other digital recorders at this pricepoint. Built in mic pickup is great and if you have external mics, it has a mini input for that too. Zoom is only 10x which is par for the course it seems for these compact recorders.
I would like to buy a spare battery for this at some point as the current one lasts barely an hour.

Nearly as Simple to Use as the Macintosh Playing Its Movies Now
This is my very first camcorder. (Okay. I know: I'm culturally deprived.)
Right of the box, it's amazingly simple to use, and for $250, my new Samsung SC-HMX10C (8GB flash drive) was simply irresistible when I bought it twenty minutes ago at Big Lots, just down the street, where the dozen allocated to that store evaporated in a matter of minutes.
After plugging in its external power supply, I quickly and easily shot a few snippets of video and a photo or few, then connected its USB cable to my old, slow (pre-Intel) Macintosh mini, whereupon a Samsung external drive icon popped onto my desktop. I dragged four videos and a handful of photos from the folders in the Samsung drive into a folder on my Macintosh. When I double ... Read More
Samsung HD Camcorer
This camera was an excellent product for the price. The HD picture, touch screen ease, on camera editing, and built-in memory are all well worth the price. Figuring options out as you go (I'm not much of an instructions reader) was straightforward. Reviewing video either on the camera or on a HDTV was easy.
Warning: If you want to use your videos on a computer, the file type the videos save as (MP4) may not be compatible with Windows type players. You'll need to purchase/download a video converter program to change the file type to something your Media Player can read, MPG for example. Once you convert the file, you can edit or view your videos, burn them to DVD's, or post them on Facebook, etc. I used the Xilisoft Video Converter ... Read More
