Samsung VP-HMX10

Support Blu-ray player, which began to appear, this coming camcorder with the ability to record in the standard Full-HD (1920x1080 pixels), the most high at this time. Unfortunately, the price of Blu-ray products is still expensive, so consumers have not been greeted with quickly. Instead of entering the segment to the Full-HD, which is still expensive, most consumers are satisfied with the quality of HD quality, slightly above the DVD. Now the video recorder with HD also now appear as a series of VP-HMX10 from Samsung.

VP-scanning designs HMX10 still step with other digital camcorder, the main hard disk recorder using the media. However, this model was using the media data storage in the form of the SD memory card / MMC up to 32GB capacity by using the MPEG4 format H.264 (AVCHD) for video and JPEG for photos. AVCHD format is usually more ideal stored in the hard drive, especially with the high bit rate options.

Can be VP-HMX10 is not different digital minicam that also record to the media card memory. However, Samsung provides several advantages, such as the ability to record video in 1280x720 resolution 50fps speed. The number of the frame above 30fps is feasible to make the smooth video performance.

As a preview, VP-HMX10 utilizing the LCD screens 2.7 "(16:9 ratios) is also displays the menu / function that access is done by touch. We just like the style menu that structured and easy to understand this. However, if you do not like busy heartedness with the configuration please enable EASY mode that makes use of the camcorder to be more easy and practical.

In addition to video recording, VP-HMX10 allows you take pictures of objects that can also be assisted by the LED light as a torch additional. Unfortunately fashion photography is more of the show, visible from the scene that only 4
(sports, portrait, spotlight, beach / snow) and the lack of manual settings and image interpolation process to achieve maximum resolution (2048x1536 pixels). However, we note some good things, such as the ability 10x Optical zoom, macro shooting quality good enough, and handlebar grip camcorder (grip), which can be twisted to 150 degrees for easier shoot.


Seeing of quality, recording MPEG4 format from VP-HMX10 less than satisfactory if the type of hard disk camcorder with AVCHD format. The video appears to raise the noise is seen increasingly severe conditions in the light of minimal. It appears good on the video editing facilities where you can edit with the elimination of some options, segregate, or combine the video. Connection VP-HMX10 data more widely as provide a channel HDMI, component AV and USB, Therefore, VP-HMX10 is a digital HD camcorder that can be considered if you find an affordable HD recorder.


Plus: Easy to use; high frame rate; format screen 16:9 and 4:3; support software; grip flexible; price.

MINUS: I can take pictures while recording video; noise on the video; image detail; without flash.
