Released in 2007 the SC-HMX10 is Samsung's first ever high definition camcorder. Shooting at full 720p the SC-HMX10 outputs H.264/MPEG-4 (.mp4) to its 8GB internal memory or loaded SDHC/MMC+ card. The SC-HMX10 takes still photos at three different resolutions (2048 x 1536, 1440 x 1080, and 640 x 480), which can also be captured from video mode. Considered to be a better budget HD option, full 1080p camcorders are not far off in terms of price. Battery life is 90 minutes.

MSRP $99.00
Released April, 2008
Pros
- Great video quality
- Compact design
- Internal memory is good size
Cons
- No charging cradle
- Awkward joystick placement on left of flip-out LCD screen
- Video on internal memory is a pain to download, must be connected to AC or it does not let you download video over the USB??? SDHC cards are easier to deal with, and cost very little. The HF100 is the identical camera less the internal memory, save your money and the headaches, get the HF100 and a couple SDHC cards and good SDHC card reader for a few hundred dollars less.
